Both great motors.
Jeff - Completely agree!
@@8020Media BTW, the 2000 Dodge 2500 V10 4WD pickup was sold by the time I got back to Nevada. I think chatted about this last month.
Jeff - Thanks for sharing this update. Sorry to hear.
I own multiple of each and they both have their places if I want to haul heavy load ford is the go to if i want fuel efficiency ill take the ram
Happy - Completely agree. Thanks for adding this insight!
Every man loves what runs at that current moment in time and take them work for bidonomics . I guess pull the v10s back out boys 💪they ran good also for a few miles at a time .
Cup - Very true!
What do you think about the automatic transmission on the 7.3? Thank you
Matthew - We have a 7.3 and love it. It all depends on what you are wanting to do with it. But it has been great for us.
I have to have a quad cab if that tells you my choice. I have owned both though…
Ben - Well said. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Cummins guys will 100% tell you that you made a mistake buying the ford, the snobby elitism is crazy when it comes to those motors. The funny thing is that they somehow forget that the 5.9 is just as slow as the 7.3 from factory
Mr - True!!!
Exactly. they act like they come 500hp from the factory. stock for stock ive beat a 94 2500 12v reg cab with a 97 ext cab 7.3 auto both auto and 4x4. both gutless compared to anything modern lol
F - Thanks for sharing your experience.
There is no comparison, The 7.3 piped sounds great and it has a little broader power curve plus it has glow plugs which is more to go wrong but works better when real cold. The 5.9 P PUMP just stomps it other than those factors... Way better fuel mileage, way more power with little tweaking, 5.9 way easier to work on, way less to go wrong. The P PUMP injection system is way better than any of the electronic crap expensive hard to fix injection shit.
Get - Both are great engines. Thanks for sharing your opinion, everyone is held to their own. Personally, we love our 7.3 PS. Thing is a workhorse.
G - Thanks for taking the time to share your experience.
Bullshit. ive been around a few 5.9s with less then stellar cold starts when my 95 when my 7.3 started better. same with fuel mileage. You cant tune on the fly with a 12v. nor have a high idle unless you physically mount a control knob. 7.3s are cheap to maintain and parts aren't that expensive unless you buying injectors. No stupid killer down pin either. 5.9s also cant single spool large turbos worth a damn either.
@@fordman2288 The 5.9 are hard to start in 20 degree and colder weather that is true, the 5.9 is a way better motor period!
Inline 6 forever.
C - Thanks for sharing.
I’ll stick to my v10 magnum lmao
Sasquatch - Everyone has their own opinions. A V10 Magnum over these two engines is quite bold, but to each their own!
I had one and I pulled parts from my v10 to build my Cummins
This guy is very biased. I have owned just about everything EXCEPT FOR A 6.4, so when I say stock for stock every year duramax out tows any other of the big three, believe me. Sure gm trucks aren’t very spacious and the bodies don’t last as well in a work truck application, but year for year the duramax trucks have pulled much easier. Tuned, that’s a different story I have no clue. I used them as a tool, not a play thing.
P - We aren't even talking about the Duramax in this video so how can we be biased?
The comparison is between the 7.3 powerstroke and 5.9 Cummins are you retarded? Where did you see duramax in the TITLE of the video?
My brother in Christ, this video is based on motors before the duramax was even a thing. The gm competition through the 90s were the 6.2 and 6.5 Detroits, both couldn’t hold a candle to the two being compared here.
