Which is better a Detroit or a DD16?

Detroits have better reliability and MPG. If I were buying a brand new truck i would but the Detroit hands down. That being said, what kind of hauls do you do that require 600 horse? If you a van driver keeping under 80k, you would be better off with a d15 for fuel economy. This is the best job I have had.
