all you dually and diesel guys...need your help please!!!

I'm in the market for a new truck. I'm looking for a crew cab, dually, with a diesel motor. Basically, it's a toss up between a Ford F350 Powerstroke or a Chevy 3500 Duramax. I would like to hear your opinions on which one is the better bet, and WHY???Also does anybody know where to find reviews of these trucks. I can find 50 million reviews and reports of new cars, but nobody seems to have much about these trucks. Any ideas about where to find reviews, road tests, pricing, options, comparisons, etc.Any info or help is greatly appreciated. Thanks y'all!

I have owned the F-350, great truck and the PSD is nice. Only issue with the Fords is that if you are gonna lay it out, it plain sucks since it has I-Beams.

Buy My Dually...its diesel

05 and up Superduty pickups have IFS, no more IBEAMS...

I think both are excellent choices, but I personally prefer a Chevy...

go to the store and buy DIESEL POWER mag they just did a compare of the big three. but my choice would be megacab.

05 and up Superduty pickups still have I-beams ... sorry.

The Duramax and PSD trucks are both excellent. I towed a 53' gooseneck enclosed with my PSD.... only issue I ever had were tranny probs.... but towing 25k I would assume so :-P. Cummins, Isuzu, or International... all make excellent motors, Dodge, Ford, and Chevy all make excellent trucks... only ailment for any of them is going to be the auto trannys... Chevy seems to have the best of the 3 w/ their Allison.

never had a problem with my psd i love it

a dodge is the only way to have a diesel

the psd and cummins have worser gas mileage than the duramax does and also the duramax had more hp and torque than the other from the factory but not as many aftermarket parts. the alison trans is by far a better tranny also than the other two. but if you are wanting power the cummins diesel can make more hp/torque than the other two with aftermarket parts. plus the issue of the ford i-beams as mentioned up above. the ford and dodge get like 11 mpg where the chevy gets 17 mpg. all are good trucks tho.

U obviously have not driven a cummins dodge before, o own one and run anywhere from 17-20 mpg and its a great truck.
