If you want a real Deisel, get the Cummins. They get great fuel mileage, they don't break down, and they will outlast the pretenders. I pull with a 3500 cab and chassis that weighs in at 7300lbs empty, the trailer is 6500lbs, and a backhoe that comes in about 16000lbs. It has never gone under 12mpg and will get 20mpg unloaded, but just barely. Will pull just as fast as you want to go. You CAN NOT build a V-8 engine as strong as a six, especially if there are space and weight limitations to consider.

How many of you Kenworth owners ordered your rig with a Navistar or Isuzu. I doubt if the trucks are much different, but the engines are. This is the second Dodge Deisel I have had and I have had no real problems. This reminds me of the days when I could not wait to get the 806 shut down so I could take a quick shower, jump in the Roadrunner and head into town to do battle with the Chevelles and GTOs.......
