Welcome back. What attracted you to the Dodge in the first place? Are you going for a new 6.4 or a used 6.0?

Cummins makes a great engine, too bad you get it wrapped in a Dodge.

Make sure you know what you are in for....From what I have heard, the mileage of the 6.x leaves alot to be desired compared to the 7.3.


WELCOME BACK!!!

Sometimes assets will come back and bite you in the tailpipe. I'd get a late 6.0 unless you can find a good 7.3 jump on it.

Hey, D8, does he have the NEW 6.7? My buddy has one and makes fun of my 6.0L(Cummins guys call them 6.oh nos). He talks all this crap about my ride and HE needs a new turbo as well at like 5k miles. I've got 10k on my 6.0 and nothin. I think they have 2 cats and a DPF....talk about backpressure huh?
