Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
I don't think there are so many inaccuracies in the whole TDR, as in this one post:

"cummins has been around for a long time and they put the same engine in an 80,000 pound Freightshaker that they do in a 1 ton dodge pickup"
"get the Dodge its built in a Ford owned factory with quality for parts to cummins specs"
"Emissons will do the Cummins in. The Cummins is a good engine, and a 7. 3 could be tuned to make the low end, but emissions is why the 6. 0 is now Ford's engine of choice. In the next few years, the Dodge Cummins will have to be replaced with a "cleaner" engine, too. And from what I've read (no proof yet, I know), the replacement won't be a Cummins, it'll be a Mercedes-Benz diesel, reason being, Chrysler is in the same company as Mercedes, and it would cut costs if the engines were actually made within the company. I'm just basing that on what I've read and I think it would be a bad decision to drop the Cummins. Their transmissions, on the other hand, need a lot of work before I would consider getting one. And I would wait a while before getting a 6. 0, too, so the bugs will all be worked out. Just a few of my thoughts. " (OK some of this may be true, or may come true... but it appears that Cummins has the emissions thing licked... for now)
