How many "Powerstroke" big rigs do you see running down the interstates ??
How many "Powerstroke" big rigs do you see running down the interstates ??
26,001 and up is considered heavy truck class.......anything lower is medium duty and then down to light-duty. Most highway tractors are only 6 cylinders. A few diesel V8's are around, but not as common. The backbone Cummins brand workhorse is the 855.
You know whats funny is that Ford actually offers the same 5.9 cummins we have in our dodge trucks, but you have to get a F650 or larger before they start putting real diesel motors in there trucks.
I'm interested to know how many big rig's have 5.9 cummins in them ??
What is your definition of a big rig ?? class 8 maybe
.
That statement was not real smart ..
They sure did ... They used Power Stroke's, Cummin's and the Cat.
Seems if you want the top power in the Ford 650and 750 you need the Cat..

Powerstroke engines (commonly in Ford Light-Duty applications) are made by International. These engines to my knowledge are not used in what people consider "Big Rigs". Heavy Duty Trucks are classified into 2 classes: class 7 (26,001-33,000 GVW) and class 8 (33,001 GVW and over). I believe the Caterpillar engine that is available for the F-650/F-750 is the C7 engine.
Yes it is the C-7 ...
All Im asking is where is there a 5.9 cummins in a Big Rig ???? And what is considered a Big Rig?? Thats all Im asking ..
I never said there was a 5.9 liter cummins in a tractor/trailer. I simply asked how many big rigs (tractor/trailer) do you see with a powerstroke engine in them ?? Cummins, Detroit, and Cat are the big three. I dont want to get into a pissing match here, but there is no comparison when you are talking the consumer market chevy and ford diesel engines compared with a medium duty motor such as the cummins. If ford had a cat or cummins in there one tons, I would be driving one instead of the dodge. The cummins engine is the only reason I am driving a dodge right now.
And it is a 6.7 liter, not 5.9. Dodge is putting the new cummins 6.7 liter in, replacing the 5.9 liter.
Hmmmmmmmm must have been some changes between your picture and mine...LOL
