Depends mostly on what you are doing with it. If you are just hauling a little around town, not many miles, then you may be happy with the 454...it's been around a long time, parts are readily available, and you don't have to pay the premium for the diesel engine. But if you are doing a lot of towing or hauling, you put on a lot of miles, and/or you want to keep the vehicle for a while then the Cummins diesel is definitely worth the extra money. I have had a Dodge/Cummins truck since 1992, and it just keeps on going with very little mechanical trouble - none with the engine. Over 200,000 miles, and get 20-22 MPG with a moderate load. Body is giving up, but the engine isn't. Expect to pay $4,000-5,000 exta to buy a Cummins equipped truck, but unless you just drive or haul locally you'll get it back.
