For you Cummins drivers.......
They got good motors in them. It's just to bad the rest of the truck falls apart around it.
I havn't had any problem with the truck falling apart around the engine.
128k on my 2003 3500, not a squeak or rattle in it. Bought it new with 5 miles on it.
I just recently took it on a 1500 mile round trip, only stopping for fuel. The truck ran for almost 25 hours, half of that towing a 5th wheel trailer. No flaws at all.
Had a 1993, only concern was ball joints @ 100k, also had a '95, same thing ball joints @ 100k.
My 2003 got the oem tires replaced @ 90k, brake pads frt & rr @ 110k, fan clutch @ 112k.
I feel this truck will feel & drive the same at 300k, thanks to a fully boxed frame.
That quote may have some truth about the trucks built in the early 90's, but don't really apply to the 2003 & newer Heavy Duty series.
