How about for people who weren't on this board a year ago. If you don't like a post, simply don't read it (or respond).


Apparently you're one of those that only gets their information from this board. Time to expand your horizons. The internet is a huge place.

Why do you have to be such a hater Rob?

Two rude posts in two threads about Dodge/Cummins. You got a beef or something?


Rude thread? Just stating facts. I am a big Cummins fan, but it seems odd that since the announcement of the Ford 6.7l, all of the Dodge boys are trying to dig up anything that will make them feel better. No need to worry guys, there aren't any of the 6.7 sold yet. It will be a year or more before the jury hands in a verdict. As far as your comment in the other thread about superior technology, I've tested both first hand. And while both have their advantages, I'd take an SCR diesel over a NOx absorber any day of the week.

What do you care? You drive an F150 according to your profile...

Oh, and BTW, it's an adsorber, not an absorder. You'd think someone who "tests" them would know that...

On the Ford 6.7L topic, I wish Ford all the best. They build a great truck, now they just need engines as good as the rest of the truck. The 6.0L diesel is/was junk, the 6.4L diesel is a grenade with the pin pulled (lots of those going BOOM), and the 5.4L is a gutless wonder in todays market. The only good one they currently have is the V10, and they're discontinuing that one .

They need the 6.2L boss, the 5.0L coyote, and the 6.7L scorpion (all cool names BTW) to be sucesses. That way, maybe there won't be so many companies devoted to ripping out what Ford put in and installing a real powerplant like DESTROKED does. There's a reason companies like this exist. It's called supply and demand. If there was no demand for Cummins conversions into Ford trucks, there wouldn't be anyone making kits to make it easier to do. DESTROKED LINK

You have to be one of the most biased people on this forum. Your opinion is NOT fact, contrary to what you may think. It's scary to think that you MAY be an LEO.

About the "Destroke" conversions and the "grenade" 6.4, why don't you find out how many of those conversions have been completed? It appears the demand is not as high as you may think, though that information wouldn't support your agenda.

Whatever "Rick", whatever. I won't be finding out anything, if you want to know, go look for yourself.

Believe what you want.

My opinion is just that, my opinion. People can read it and disregard it or take it for what it is. Up to them.

Why do you feel the need to chime in and stir the pot in a thread about the Dodge/Cummins engine and an award it won anyway?

Anyway, lets get back to the topic (the award won by the 6.7L Cummins diesel) shall we?

What do you care? According to your profile, you don't drive one of these award winning engines.

These Ford guys are something else. A sure sign you have lost the debate is resorting to personal insults. Shame on you Rick James.

What "personal insults" did I cast?
When you tell someone "shame on you", what is that message supposed to convey?

Funny, I can't recall one Powerstroke topic that you didn't inject your typical Cummins bias. Should I post proof?

This is too easy.
