I do not agree that the Dmax is the "best diesel out there". Though I'm not a dodge fan, I am a big Cummins fan and prefer it to the Dmax. The Cummins is hand down built heavier and tougher than the Dmax, which also explains why they typically last so much longer and in the high mileage area, retain their value longer. Facts - not fiction.
That being said, there is nothing at all wrong with a Dmax. They're the "hot rod" of the diesels. Capable of lots of power - just not for as long as the Cummins will put out. A single Cummins connecting rod is beefier than two Dmax rods combined. No joke. The Cummins is also the only of the 3 motors rated as medium duty rather than light duty.
