6.5td vs. 24valve

[tyler111991]

Quite awhile back I was driving through traffic and a dodge 3500 ext cab dually pulled up next to me at a red light. Not sure on the year all i know is it was an automatic and the badge on it said 24 valve. We both took off at the same time and i pulled about 3-4 truck lengths on him before letting off at about 65mph. not brand bashing or anything, i would rather have had his truck instead of mine, but it was kinda nice beating something newer

You sure about that statement, or is more that you'd prefer the engine in his, not the truck, I know few folks ever admitting that they really liked a Dodge truck, more-so the reason it was purchased was because it had the Cummins in it.

You buy a cummins, they throw the truck in for free! ....and you get what you pay for!

He wasn't on it. I had both at the same time. My stock 24valve would beat my modded 6.5TD.

I don't know man, my slightly modded 6.5 would flat out WOOP sum CUMMINS A$$. I even got an 03 common rail with it, and I KNOW he was on it.

im no diesel expert but i know what a cummins sounds like at WOT. He had it pinned to the floor.

well chevys are the only vehicle i have owned so i dont know much from experience on dodge trucks haha. But the cummins motors are pretty nice. ive been helping my dad do a cummins swap in a 94 K3500 crew cab dually, it should be a pretty cool truck when its finished
