No doubt the Cummins 6.7 is a great 6 cyl engine, but Fords newest 6.7 8 cyl will outperform the Cummins in every performance category, except possibly fuel mileage. My problem with the Ram is the...

Hey Joe, good information.
The reviews I've read on the FAS haven't been to good. Not sure about the Airdog. The unit from DieselSite have been favorable. It just bugs me to think I need to...

Joe, I've heard a little chatter recently about fuel filtration on the 6.7. I guess it's especially crucial for this engine due to the expensive hpfp. What are folks doing in an effort to protect...
