I don't underestimate them.... I want one.
I went on dodge.com today and built a 2009 Ram 2500 4x4 with a 6.9L Cummins and 6 speed manual..... for only $50,000. Wish I could order it, lol.

You probably don't want to buy one newer that 2004. That's when they started putting all the emissions crap on it I believe. And the delete kits for that stuff aren't cheap.

You definitely don't want a 6.7
One of those things pulled up beside me at a gas station one time, and my truck was severely louder than it.

5.9 cummins all the way...

Hmmm. Ok. I don't much care for the look of the 4th gens anyway.

So... average price of a 2nd gen 2500 with a diesel is like... 10,000?

That is one thing I hate about PowerStrokes and Duramax V8s. They are just annoying loud!!!! Just sitting there idling, "Rah-rahr-rar-rar-rar-rar" as loud as a chainsaw. Cummins sixes are so much quieter.

I dont like the color white at all, but I think this looks ****:

Maybe a 6'' lift and 35'' tires, too.
But I'd still rather have sunburst orange and black.

I'm thinking my thermostat needs replacing. My temp gauge hits 220, then suddenly drops to 190 after starting up (even after flushing cooling system). Haven't overheated, or even made it over 230 yet, though..

you think them's loud, you outta hear the C12 CAT that in our 02 T800, or the motor in the 85 CAT tractor, that makes the powerjokes and duracraps seem real quiet

and the motor in the 9670 JD combine, that sombitch is louder than ****
