My dad and I attended a hot rod truck/tractor pull over the weekend and I saw almost 15 different 4x4 trucks pull the sled. 13 out of 15 were Dodge, there was 1 GMC and 1 Ford. The announcer hyped up the GM crowd when he hooked up, and basically he went half way and petered out. The crowd's reaction was a bit embarrassing. The Ford did much better, and the Cummins (Dodges) seemed to have fun and most just pulled as they pleased. The guys around me in the stands were saying this happens all the time. Youtube videos show Dodge Ram trucks to be very popular in pulls. GMC/Ford not as much from what I've seen.
Is Cummins THAT good? If so, I can see why Dodge was happy to get that engine in their trucks. A buddy of mine has had his Duramax in the shop a few times already over injector issues and he is currently waiting for the shop to finish it again.
I am a GM fan, so this was kind of a bummer showing. Meanwhile, almost all the multi engine super modified tractors were sporting Chevy big blocks as their power choice. Those did very well. There was one dual Hemi engine tractor and he did very good too.
