Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
Alan,
Since you began posting here you have always expressed your preference for GM V8 engines. You have defended GM big block gas hogs powering motorhomes claiming they are powerful, delivered good fuel economy, and are comparable to a Cummins TD.
You have also repeatedly praised or defended Isuzu V8 diesels. That's fine with me. If you like them buy one. Its your money, your choice. But you have never convinced me and probably no one else that they compare favorably with a Cummins.
Anyone who views a Furd or Nobama Motors V8 diesel as an equal choice obviously does not understand or chooses to ignore the fundamental superiority of an inline six cylinder turbo diesel engine. They are not and will never be an equivalent choice. If you use a truck mostly for transportation, want quick acceleration, like to trade trucks for a new one every two or three years, and don't mind paying the premium price, by all means buy a Furd or GM.
I am not impressed by bs artists in RV parks making outrageous claims about their choice of tow vehicle or trailer. We see it here. Everyone wants to believe that he made good choices and spent his money wisely and lying about his vehicles to someone sufficiently gullible to believe his nonsense helps him. There are members here who pretend their Keystone trailers are high quality units. You know that is a false belief.
Likewise, I am not impressed by people who make wild claims on websites about their trucks. Simply claiming his Isuzu diesel has 300k miles on the odometer is proof of nothing. As I wrote in my previous post, show me a man who has put 300k to 400k miles on his Furd or GM in commercial towing like hotshot haulers and RV transporters and still has a reliable truck that continues to do the work that I can verify and I might concede that those trucks have improved. I have pulled trailers with other transporters who drove GMs and Furds. I KNOW what those trucks can do and it is not much compared to a Dodge-Cummins.
If someone says "I bought my Keystone trailer or my Furd truck because it is my preference", I have no argument. They have simply expressed their choice. When they claim their Furd is superior or equal to a Cummins powered Ram truck I will always dispute their claim. That person is simply wrong and engaged in willful deceit or wishful thinking. It simply ain't true!
Furd and GM trucks cost more to buy, thousands of dollars more last time I looked, cost more to operate, cost more to maintain and repair, have shorter service lives, and lesser resale value with higher mileage. A V8 engine is a compromise for those who mistake quick acceleration for the mark of a serious truck motor.
When the commercial OTR trucking fleets of America, Canada, Europe, Central and South America, and other industrialized regions change their truck power plants from inline six cylinders to V8s get back to me. I'll consider a V8 diesel when they do.
