I have spent my entire adult life around trucks and I will say that Cummins makes the most solid, reliable engines I have ever seen.

Personally speaking, I don't really care what brand/make of truck it is. If it has a Cummins in it, I'll drive it.

Be very careful with that statement being so broad. Back in the day I rented a Ford single screw daycab Louisville aeromax with a L10 Cummins in it; it was horrendious to be kind. I don't think it even made it up to 55 mph. After having it for a day I couldn't stand it and got a twinscrew areomax with a N14 which was a descent truck.

Generally Cummins are okay...but L10's stink! no bueno.

Yeah, L10/M11's are gutless and I have seen a few drop injectors, but all of the 855's are like the Briggs&Stratton of the truck world: not particularly exiting, but as reliable as bird crap on a brand new car.
I have driven more of those L-series Fords than I can count and there is no room inside. My knees hit the dash and my head hits the roof.

Now you know what aircraft feel like, dude.

Men spread legs and put knees around the ears ? Try a 1946 Fleet Cunnuck.

I guess we do.
