The crews I worked on in the patch all used fords. We couldn't keep front ends in duramax's with their worthless IFS and had the 6.7 cummins had so many issues they wouldn't even buy one. The 5.9 cummins is still one of the best motors put out their but its hard to beat 7.3 & 6.0L powerstrokes. Yes you need to do a few things to the 6.0L but they are bullet proof with ARP head studs and EGR delet kit you will have no issues that they became famous for having. I worked at ford and am now a heavy duty diesel mechanic and nowadays with all this environmental laws every new diesel has its flaws and can all be fixed with delete kits (if your smart can be done to look stock and not void warranty. ). You couldn't give me any duramax they are garbage and have seen so many issues with them if you drive them hard and need to go offroad all the time. Allison trannys are over rated as well... Just speaking from personal expirence. I trust my life to my fords and have never had an issue that wasn't self induced. Even my f150's I overload all the time and they just keep chugging along.
Is there a way I can delete the exaust filter on a 2011 6.7?

There's only one VERY big problem with this...they don't come with ARP head studs from factory. This is a very expensive fix and at the end of the day by spending a few thousand on ANY vehicle you could make it a better and more "bullet proof" truck. Fact is, if it's built well in the first place you don't have to spend a few thousand on it to make it run.
All new trucks have their flaws and pros its just what ever you prefer and want to deal with. If you own a vehicle your gonna have problems its just part of it.
Yup.. chevy's definatelly have the best heating system in them, which is good.....you will be warm till I come pull you out with my Toyota. HAHA
