Thanks everyone for your input. I'll do some searching for a Ram CTD but there's not a lot of choices up in this area right now. I'll take some time and keep my eyes open for maybe a strong 2500 or a 3500.

In the meantime, my RAM just went in the shop to remove the hail damage I got a couple months ago. Worst case I drive it till spring and then find a replacement.

 

good man, at least you keep an open mind. unlike some people who shut down when people try to give advice. come to the south, there are plenty of diesels here! [8D]

 

Just my 2cents, I work for Borg-Warner turbo systems ( We supply International "Ford" all the 6.0 liter twin turbos) They are having major problems with the engine and emmissons. The plant had to drop all temps workers and a whole shift becauce of the problems with Ford. All company's have problems but heard more good things about the Cummins and Duramax then the International 6.0 motors...

 

Well I thought it was going! The wife put her foot down and it landed on my head. No new truck until the camper is paid off, along with the outstanding charges for the workI did to this one. Soooo, to make a long story short the boss has spoken.

I'll be here on this forum for another 3 years.

 

glad to hear someones head was on straight good luck were glad to keep u here...j

 

Good thing she put her foot down, you would have been disappointed with the 6.0. I'm a Ford guy, but it's pretty common knowledge in Ford circles to stay away from that motor.
