Don't know how heavy the 373RD or the 3791RD are but we have pulled a 38' Montana with an F250 with 7.3L Diesel for years. No Gasser would have ever been able to do and we have a 3.7 rear end....

What I was really looking for a wider sample than what we have personally experienced. From what I hear on the street is the reliability of the 6.4L Diesel is much better than the 6.0L but...
