my experience with cummins is different then yours, my brother bought a 99 dodge 1ton dually that was a 24v maybe that was the difference? his truck had so much power it was very easy hauling heavy loads.
With this on the highway we drove 55 for safety, stopping was a slow gradual thing but when sudden acceleration was needed it was instant.
