I wasn't intending to bash your truck, or to quote it as "underpowered". Anyway, I bet if Cummins would make its overseas ISF3.8 (which ratings are close to your early 6BT) federal-compliant regarding emissions it could get some popularity among truck buyers who just need the Diesel as a tool and then are not so into that obsession with the power ratings.
