Got Cigs, I have to totally agree with you!.........All the trouble, time & money to beef up my 5.9L gas engine with the thought it may reach somewhat of the towing capacity of the 5.9L Cummins is
not going to happen. Remember, I have a combined 13K lbs of boat & trailer to tow.....I narrowed down 2 Dodge Diesel Dualy 3500 rams.......One is a southern truck '2001 "no rust at all" 190K miles
(no 4wd and Manual shift) for $13,000.................next Conn. truck '2000 rust both doors, both front fenders & rust hole thru bumper 140K miles for $9,000..but it has 4wd & automatic shift!

"a clean truck is so much better"..I agree totally!...but the price of $13k for that truck (manual 2wd & plain interior) is over priced.....maybe $10k tops

Been looking for a while 2nd gen ram 3500 diesel dually but sold my truck yesterday now I have to find "that" truck.
prices are crazy for a clean rust free diesel truck and ones under 100k miles are stupid crazy!
