I'd much rather have one of the older Dodges with the original Cummins they came out with. I like my 2003 3500 club cab w Cummins. Wife hates it. Only 135K on it- lots of life yet. Body is in good shape too, despite the road salt up here. She thinks spending $80K for a new or $60K for a 2 year old (and less reliable, IMO) truck (her preference is Ford) is way better than a few thou a year in repairs. I probably don't have much more than 5 years more driving myself, so.... Female thinking.... The only true cost of having a dog is its death.

Slight sidetrack but this was in the cab of a diesel, more bougie chit...lol Should note that the beer box was empty and I was gonna use it as a target. Safety first... The bougie bag is pretty f'n handy, lots of room.

After we rebuilt it, if you put the thing in just the right bind, it would choke down and start running backwards. Put it in reverse and it would go forward, dump the clutch on 2nd gear and she would go backwards. You would have to kill the engine and restart it and all was good. Truck was a beast.

That contract was awarded based on what state the engine was made in. If you could have chosen, he would take Cummins. My cousins replace their tug boat engines with giant Caterpillar engines. Based on the sound they made in dump trucks dumping gravel in my driveway, I liked Detroit Diesel. When I was a janitor at Kenworth, all diesel engines made a mess at full throttle on the dynamometer.

You'd about burn the glow plugs up getting it started if it was cold at all, smoked like a chimney until it warmed up some, and you needed a 3/4 mile run to pass someone going 50 on a 2 lane highway, but it got me to work for a couple years! Lol. You left out that they sounded like a handful of gravel in a steel can. Why do I have to press 1, for English?
