Need Advice
I am looking for a 250/350 w/diesel strictly to pull a fifth wheel camper when we go camping. It would only get 5k-6k miles/year, if that. I see some with over 200k on them and don't know what the expected dependability/durability of these engines is. If anyone can point me in the right direction, it wold be most appreciated.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I bet if you asked your question in the diesel forum you'd get more help. Most of us down here are gassers, and don't have what you're looking for.
I would guess that a truck frame with 200K would start to show metal fatigue-something to consider if you're going to add a 5th wheel. I'd also look real close at what they've used for brake components.
