Attention: TDR Forum Junkies I needed another truck at work, so after the obligatory checking out of the competition and prices, I bought another Dodge Cummins. Although I would have been happy with either a 600 or an HO, I did tell the dealer I preferred the "555". We don't haul too heavy and the slight difference in economy as well the 600's small teething pains (i. e. cold temp hesitation reflash and potential core plug issue), tipped the hand towards the 2004 HO.
New truck is a white 2500 ST, QC, LWB, HO, Six speed, trailer mirrors, tow package, CD player, and a couple of other options.
I wanted the ST for the rubber floors and I didn't want pdl's, pw's etc. etc. This was the only truck that matched my criteria in western Canada otherwise I would have preferred the 3500 SRW, but as I said before, we don't tow or haul heavy. Economy and longevity were the driving factors behind the Cummins choice. Fuel keeps going up by the week, but the price of diesel here is consistently 20-25% cheaper than gasoline.
Anyway, I guess I'll now have another truck to compare to mine. The long term goal is to convert the fleet over to Cummins power, but it's going to take awhile!
Cheers,
Dave
