5.9 Cummins Ram 3500 HD, just turned 125K. It's a 2003, bought at 33K in 05. I'm 74.

After 20 years of automatics, wife and I both had to relearn - lots of missed and grinding gears. smile. (She's still working on it........especially the revving/lugging down on gear changes, and clutch popping - but then she doesn't get much practice.)

It's on it's 3rd clutch as of a few months ago. 2nd one was installed by incompetents and didn't last long. Likely cheapest inferior part as well. Won't have that problem with this one. Maybe.

That year model was pretty lemony for some reason. Money pit, but otherwise I sure like it. Just picked it up again last night...3rd water pump and new thermostat.
