Yes that is one thing I do not like about the chevy. I cannot believe they put that on the one-ton duallies, and got away from the straight axle.
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 am just waiting to see what Toyota is going to do on the diesel truck market here in the US. Sad, but they will probably have something better than any of the big three.
Powerstrokes are light duty v-8s that started out as converted gas motors, same as chevy.
Judging by the Tundra I'd say there is little to worry about. Have you seen that tiny rear end they put on em'? Work them at all and those axle bearings will be sloppy at 50k miles.
Personally, I wouldn't have a Ford 6.0 diesel(maybe the 6.4 will be better), and Dodge can't build a good automatic tranny-they should concentrate on that instead of screwing with a new engine.
No, I like my GMC Duramax with it's smooth ride and the so far bullet proof Allison tranny (118k miles). That doesn't mean much unless you tow and haul. I do alot of that.
My 2 cents
Neither the 7.3L, 6.0L, 6.4L or 6.6L are based on gas engines. These are all diesel engines through and through. I spent 4 years as a Ford dealer tech.
Who cares what engine has the biggest con rods? If they don't break it doesn't matter.
I am a tech at a Dodge dealer now and we see quite a few problems with pumps on the 24v engines. We also see a few blocks with porous castings causing coolant to leak out the block.

Kind of funny that Chevy Duramax has the lowest stock horsepower rating of the 3, but I still like them the best.
