It's just not a medium duty diesel platform, that's all. Probably wasn't really ever designed to be. The Cummins platform is a true med duty diesel platform, designed that way from the jump. The variant they put in the dodge truck is so heavily detuned, its not even funny. I'm not a duramax hater or anything, but you can't deny the Cummins platform as a solid performer? You can hate on the many people that do silly things with their cummins powered dodges, but not the platform as a whole. Its a proven and reliable diesel engine family.
You are the one who jumped on the defend cummins soap box here, I was just being funny

I would love an old 12v as a play toy/daily driver/apocalypse vehicle, but I am stuck with a silly old Dmax for now.
