Duramax yes Powerstoke yes but a Cummins will last years even at 500hp. If the motor was chipped it most likely was returned to stock. Nobody would purposely leave an expensive chip or tuner on a truck that was being traded. I know I wouldn't and I have a 2006 Dodge dually, best truck I ever owned.

Looks like an 08 or 09 from those 'bullet' taillights. If so it will have the 6.7L motor which is a bored and stroked 5.9. The extra cubes and the DPF and EGR systems have cost it at least 5mpg.

If you buy it you'll want to visit www.cumminsforum.com for tons of info on it.
