i thought that was the way a cummins liked to be ran.
and 211k (with proper maintenance), that's just good and broke in.

normally i'd so go for it, but its not a 4x4 and although 211k isn't very much for a cummins, its still a lot to start with ya know. b.c of your low mileage i'd say keep yours.

thanks, i think i will keep mine i went over to look at it this morning and i pulled lightly on the top of the front fender flares and i seen alot of rust behind them and then he said ya i put them on so it wouldnt look so bad as im assuming that that the rear of the truck is just as bad?

as far as my truck goes it has no rust at all on anything besides the lower lip of the front doors!

haha got to give ya that way more power and way more life

A Cummins would be sweet but they suck in snow and mud.

Some friends and I were hauling brush out of the woods with about 5" of snow on the ground. My 1/2ton and another 1/2ton Ford just cruised right on out without even spinning the tires. The guy with the Cummins sat there and just spun his tires. He had to rock it back and forth to gain any ground. He had brand new cooper all terrain tires too. That motor is just way to heavy, it sinks instead of riding on top of the snow.

I'd still trade my gasser for it though.

Sounds more like someone needs a locker.
