mesasage - 2016-05-29 10:54 PM Whatever you do never ever buy a 6.0.  I can promise you that you will regret it.  Everyone that has bought one at some point has.   Second most diesel debacle of all time behid the chevy diesel of 80's.  Dont' buy.  You will reget it.  For what you are looking for Dodge would be number one and Chevy/GMC duramax number two.  

luckyjo - 2016-05-29 10:41 PM I have a 1995, Dodge 5 speed Cummins, and a 2003 6 speed Cummins. Bought both new and all we've done other than regular maintenance is replace the clutch on the '95. The only bad thing about owning an older Cummins is people will chase you down to try and talk you into selling!
