Should have pushed him off the road.. Then ripped the mirrors off and stick them where the sun dont shine.... I have claimed 2 tow mirrors with the old mans Hemi.. I dont drive it much anymore or I would have more.

I understand stewies point.. I agree with it.. Not saying you fellas with your 2500's dont work them.. But 95% of the guys I see around here ( around my town not on the site) with the 2500 cummins will never see any kind of load at all.. Its a waste of a truck.. Its the same people that always have their mirrors up for no reason... The same KIDS that hot rod the truck till its beat to within an inch of its life and they want to try and sell it for 20k... Its a waste of a good truck that should be working.. Not hauling your stuck up rich *** around... I miss the days of when mommy and daddy bought the little bastards BMW'S.. Now they just waste a workhorse of a truck just so they may be able to fit in with their little pansy asses....
Ok.. Just had to get that little rant out.. Carry on with your conversations..

I've read up on them some last year, they sound real promising. I know Banks has been toying with it in standalone applications, mostly marine, and been able to squeeze some decent numbers out of it.
for one: it will have crap fuel economy because it will have a DPF, EGR, Catalyst, and DEF. (the new cummins will too so don't take that as me saying it will be any better)
plus its a 1/2 ton...1/2 tons are tonka toys. A workin mans truck is a 2500+
something that can actually haul some weight around without riding on bump stops.
you want a good efficient tonka toy, put an older 4BT in it like moochoff did.

Not everyone works their truck.
The 4 cylinder simply wouldn't sell.
This diesel half ton isn't meant to be a "work truck", hell no half ton is. It's purely meant for increased mileage and the typical person that rarely hauls anything but an occasional bicycle or washer/dryer or new piece of furniture. That's it.

Also, relax on the whole "2500's are work trucks and that's that" spiel. Pretty certain you ain't paying for their truck, so whatever they choose to do with their hard earned cash is their business.
