No doubt motor will last, but if truck was not taken care of it would not last very long. I got lucky and got my dads truck as a hand me down, I was there when it came off the dealer lot, and it has been taken care of since then, I just rebuilt the entire front end of the truck at 175k, its the second time the ball joints had been done.
Most of these cummins are work horses and arent properly maintained(at least the ones around here) I have seen maybe 3 that didnt have dings and dents all around, if your good with your hands and can figure the simpler things out go for it, you wont regret it.

I don't own a cummins and probably never will. diesels not my thing. But you did say this after he told you he wanted a cummins.
Uh.. No man. Not at all true. These trucks get trash mileage, and only a handful make the 200k mark, much less 300. Also they are horrifically unsafe. They were the worst in their model year for truck safety. They scored "Poor" across the board. They will drive away from a light accident no problem. But a real no **** accident will probably leave you dead.

Are you some sort of political advisor in your free time? If not, you may want to consider it; it takes a master propagandist to mask information this well. Guess we'll have to start researching all of your comments to filter the BS from what really occurred.

^^^Hilarious. Ya take a look at post #22.
Basically, Truedge said something about how that storm shown in the picture looked to be about 2 ft, Reds response was was how they definitely got 5 ft. So one person talking about a single storm, the other talking about a months worth of snowfall. Funny fail.
Red, if you hate Rams so much (since you like to tell us how much junk they are all the time), why do you own two of them? I don't get it.

Hey BigRedOne, do you know a little troll that we used to call Viper37 'round these parts? He was a desert racer with a blue Dodge Ram in SoCal and was in the Navy and worked at a grocery store.
