I'm buying a truck and I've settled on the 1998 Dodge cummins. What is more desirable the 12 valve or 24 valve?
12 VALVE!!! =Bullet Proof. Always use diesel rated 15-40 oil, and change it every 5,000 miles. Buy your fuel from a high volume Name Brand Station, change the fuel filter atleast every 15,000 miles or when ever you note any reduction in power on a hard pull.
If you get an automatic transmission, up date the torque converter and transmission at a GOOD SHOP THAT KNOWS THE DODGE TRANSMISSIONS.
Sit back and drive it for another 300,000 + miles.
