First Impressions
Well, after a few days with my new '06 CTD Quad 4x, here are my impressions compared to my '04 Ford SD V10
+ Much better overall fit and finish of body panels and interior
+ Better interior layout
+ More comfortable ride (by a LARGE margin)
+ Headlights are brighter and have a better beam pattern
+ Interior is MUCH quieter and better insulated
+ Turning radius and steering effort is head and shoulders better then the SD
+ Everything in the engine compartment is easier to get to and see
+ More interior room, as compared to my Super Cab
+ Fuel mileage so far 17 MPG with this truck, compared to 10 with my V10
and last, but not least.....
+++ THIS FRIGGIN CUMMINS ROCKS!!!!
What the heck took me so long?
Oh hey, did I say I was happy with my truck! Whew hew!

I'll need to see if I can dig up that pic showing the difference between pistons and rods for the ford chevy and dodge diesels. . .spoiler, the Cummins is HUGE compared to the others
