First of all if you're going to buy a diesel pickup and you're not planning on doing a lot of hauling, I'd look for one with a 3.73 rear end gear. That will get you better fuel mileage than a 4.10. Otherwise you might as well buy a gas. That being said, the Cummins motor has WAY more torque and the 7.3 Powerstroke has a lot more HP and torque as well. The Chevy 6.5 is a fairly reliable engine, I know a few people that have had them. I think that when they went from a mechanical injector pump to an electronic one they had a few problems but I think that's all I've heard about. I think people just talk them down becuase they don't have the power of the other diesels that are out there.
