5.9 Cummins! Where do all the Oil Burners hang out in this forum? I just joined a couple of days ago and have to weed through all of the Hemi owners to find anyone talking about deisels.

Do I need to go to another forum?

 

No, you just need to get a new truck....

Or look over in the CTD section we have here

Found it. If I didn't tow a 29' 5th wheel, I'd have a Hemi too!
Thanks.

 

Ha! if I didn't tow a 29' 5th wheel I'd still have a hemi!

 

2004 Ram 2500 Hemi!! I had it for about 2 months now, just hit 52,000 miles a couple weeks ago. Love the engine, dont think it is as under powered as people think for the 2500. I think it runs great and will be better once I put new headers, exhaust, intake, tuner etc. My cousin has a hemi in his 2007 and he loves it also. My next truck will be a cummins to go along with my hemi. My 2 favorite engines!!

 

Don't get me wrong, the Hemi is a great motor. I'm sure it has plenty of power.
I only have just over 36,000 miles on my 2007 and it is pulling down 18+ MPG mixed driving.
I get mid 20s on the highway, and around 12 towing.
55-65 MPH pulling a 10,000 lb trailer over Mt.Hood while passing a Prius ain't bad either!
