what has more power dodge cummings or ford power stoke twin turbo?

Answer 1

nothing much to add here i just wish dodge had a better ambulance prep chassis. i fear the twin turbo fords may give trouble and access is very limited under hood [especially in "E" series] they are very very adequate power-wise.and even a 4wd 450 gives a smooth ride "in the box"

Answer 2

i think that the 6.7 liter cummins has more torque and power now. the thing to remember when looking at a diesel or any motor is quality and reputation. dodge has been using the 5.9 liter cummins for about 20 years now and it is a tried and true engine. while ford is not bad the twin turbo system has not had enough time to get all the bugs out yet. they are having problem on some blowing fire out the tail pipe. i do alot of towing usually above 12,000 lbs. and my cummins does a great job. alot of hot shot drivers in my area use cummins and if you look at r.v. pullers, they too use cummins motors. many will last 300,000 miles with proper care. if you are going to raise the performance level a little and not spend much money go with the power stroke, you get more power for cheap. if you are going to go with a setup that you want h.p. level above 500 and torque close to 900-1000 ft. lbs. go with a cummins. they have if I'm not mistaken 45% less moving parts (being that they are a inline 6 compared to a v-8) and there basic setup is reliable.

Answer 3

Beyond the power issue is pure reliability. The Cummins 5.9 or 6.7 is NOT a light duty pick up engine and was not designed for that duty...Got your attention??? I have worked in the heavy construction machinery business for longer than I wish to talk about. That engine is a HD Diesel for construction machinery at will spend it's life at 80% or more load factor. We have it in 66,000 excavators and 40,000 wheel loaders for over 10,000 hours..I spoke to a Cummins representative at Columbus once,,,FYI Your Pick up going down the highway at 60 MPH...Load factor on this engine...18%. If you really want to see a joke,,look at the connecting rods on the Ford or Isuzu in the GM..Tiny, compared to the Cummins industrial engine.

Answer 4

a properly serviced cummins engine will be a much more reliable engine the most ford dealers have waiting lists months long for people waiting to get thier almost new ford diesel engines replaced where i live the ford dealers are having to get independent shops to do some to help them keep up

Answer 5

Cummins 6.7 l diesel in Dodge 1 ton is rated at 305 hp@ 2900 rpm and 650 ft. lbs torque @1400 rpm.
The powerstroke 6.0 l is rated at 325 hp @ 3300 rpm and 570 ft. lbs. torque @ 2000 rpm. Since torque is the measure of power in a truck, use your own imagination. What if the Cummins was rated at 3300 and 2000 rpm.
