Not to be mean, but it is because it is a terrible engine in that application. Even with a 4 barrel it was only rated at 150hp and 240 pound feet of torque. Even the 4.3 liter V6 that came out a few years later had 130hp and 210 pound feet of torque. Thes were emission friendly economy engines. The only way to up the power is to change cams, and go to an aftermarket intake and carb or have a good rebuild on yours. The easiest thing to do if the motor is tired is to replace it with a good 350.

What is stronger a Dodge or Ford?
Stronger meaning? If you mean pulling power that depends on the engine under the hood. If you mean how they're built then I would say they are about equal. Both Dodge, Ford, and Chevy are all great trucks. Ford is the number one selling truck if that is an indication of anything.

What would you have to change in a peterbilt 387 truck in order to change the motor from a catc15 to a cummins m11?
Do you want to have no power at all? The M11 is a vocational truck engine... the way the truck is geared with the C15, I seriously doubt you want to stick an M11 in there. Not only that, but that's a post-ACERT truck... you can't put a pre-ACERT engine in it legally unless the truck was purchased as a glider kit.
Why do you lose power in your 1984 GMC when you put the truck in gear?
The first place I would look is at the timing, a vacuum leak will also have this effect on an engine.
