When you already have a Duramax why would you want anything else?
I was talking about motor swaps. You see a lot of people putting the Cummins into Fords and Chevrolets/GMCs. You don't see anybody putting Powerstrokes or Duramaxes into Dodges.

That is because Dodges are like tampons. Every pu$$y has one.

My Titan hitch is going on later this week then I am thinking about getting some Road Armor bumpers:

Any opinions on these? My friend has them on his '07 F350 and loves em, said I should have stiffer springs installed on my truck to handle the weight in the front....Overkill or will stock work fine?

You will want heavier springs for sure. You'll also be lowering your capacity by about 1000 lbs.

2010 is the new 6.7L Scorpion which is going to be their own design, instead of Navistar's, although based on Ford's track record with the 6.0 and 6.4, I would certainly wait before deciding to purchase that one.

250 hp and 10 more mpg? Yeah, right.

I am a ford tech and i agree with the above. I would wait a couple years for the scorpion. And as far as a 6.0 vs 6.4 i would say 6.0 and convert it to the way a 7.3 is. delete the egr and run 15w-40 in it. keep the filters up to date and they are not really that bad. But when the 6.4 fails it fails hard i.e. engines, trans. They love to blow up. Small things happen to the 6.0 that make it suck sometimes. Also do not buy a 2004 or 2003 6.0

Bling is cool but my money goes to making more power in the engine, more fuel mileage and safety concerns such as brakes.
