    I know it is. Flat is slow to come back because of the weather but it's showing signs of turning around.

    Cummins suck and I have one. Don't think I'll ever own another one and I haven't had any problems with. Now, once I get the computer tuned to where it should be then I might think different but all the Detroits I ever owned/driven performed better all around.

    Side note, dollar for dollar, cost to operate & repair & revenue generated, there's never been a better motor than the 12.7 Detroit.

    I was comparing the 12.7 to ANY motor.

    Good luck. After owning your last truck you shouldn't need much training. Lol

    1.33 million on my 14L and still ticking. Since the delete, new turbo and intake, and Leon tune... I wish I had done this 2.5 years, she pulls like a raped ape!!!! 7.8 MPG for last 30 days, and I've been doing nothing but Vegas/PNW turns and back to the Midwest.
    You got lucky on the bullgear, heard horror stories about them taking engines out... That's a pretty big job...
