FYI =
my contact at the st. louis truck plant drove both pilot trucks last night. one a 5. 7 hemi, one a new cummins,
he said that the 5. 7 hemi was amazing, very similar rev style as the 4. 7L v8 (very quick), AND the cummins was so quite that he had to pop hood to check and make sure it wasn't a gasser. (he said it sounded like a gasser with slighty more aggresive tone)
ALSO about the mercedes diesel, a pilot was ran but imediatly put on truck, sources say that the idea was scraped due to cummins loyalty and the mercedes diesel durability issues.
