Being able to pull down low and being able to withstand pulling down low are 2 different things. Cummins has never been able to withstand the abuse in lower rpm because they've never tried to build the engine to do so.

Forman at a Cummins shop put it real clear for me. he said you drive below 1300 and I'll be rebuilding your bottom, bring it above 1800 all the time and I'll be doing your top end. He said throughout the 20 plus years he's been working on solely Cummins, he sees it over and over like clock work.
