Dodge or Cummins ?

[Texasdeere]

1st-Cummins Engine
2nd-The styling is good (Dodge)
3rd-Crossing my fingers on the whole thing.

But if this same engine was offered in a GM
Truck, I would have bought a GM.
If it was in a Ford "No Way"
I am very pleased so far with 8000miles.

Just my opinion...

1st the Dodge Ram, then the Cummins. Although now that I've owned it if the Cummins went elsewhere I'd follow the engine! That is as long as the truck had a solid front axle (Dana's preferably) and stout manual trans. In other words - not a GM.

Dodge!, the Cummins was just a plus. If Dodge had an inferior motor, or no diesel at all, would still buy Dodge. Have owned nothing else since 1972.

CUMMINS! The dodge is the BEST looking p/u though. You wouldn't catch me dead in a puky binder! V8 diesel's suck.

The Cummins is the best thing Dodge ever did for their line of trucks.
I have had a Dodge truck in my driveway for the past 25 years and this is the best one yet.
Unfortunitly, dealer support is the pits #ad
I plan on keeping this one for 20 years #ad
Maybe by that time DC will straighten the dealers out #ad

Inline 6, Cummins of course.
If there market for inline 6 gas, would consider gas instead of diesel.
Still have 2 Ford trucks has 6 inline gas,
both havn't down yet, still running like
bunny energies.
ex' chevy v8 olds diesel.

I was considering the CTD, but was told by a friend at work to go with a gasser. I drove a 1500 360V8 and was ready to order. I drove a CTD just to compare. I couldn't get the feeling out of my mind. See sig. below.

[Bad340fish]

Bought mine for both. I needed a truck to pull my race car. And if i was gonna by a truck to pull with it had to be a diesel, so is there any other diesel options out there?? Not IMO. Plus i think my dad would hang me if i drove up in a ferd or chibby.
