320 hp is way too much for a 1500 pickup. They’ll have to torque manage severely to make the driveline live. I wonder what the duty cycle is at 320 hp? Can’t be very good. About half that hp is about right. Unfortunately there aren’t enough people out there sensible enough to drive a 160hp diesel pickup thus they wouldn’t dare build one today. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/dodge-1500-cummins-should-i-buy-in-2-yrs/39063)._
