I own a 1 ton 4wd Dodge with the Cummins,
5spd, 3:53 rear end and duals. This truck is great for towing. My friend has the same type of truck, except he ordered the 4:11 rear end. He wishes he had the 3:53, as his truck always seems to feel like it needs to shift one more time.

If you are going to attempt any off-roading the duals are a pain. I only use mine to tow my old PWs to the area, and use them for even mild off-roading.

The Dodge - Ford controversy will always go on, but in all honesty, both my friend and I have had numerous people come up to us and tell us that they changed from Ford to Dodge. They always tell of the poor experiences they had with the Ford Power Strokes. Most of these people were using their trucks for work, rather than recreational use. They all said that they like the looks of the Ford better, but looks don't help pay the bills.
