[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 41158, member: 34"] 500,000 miles???? It don't surprise me at all with the Cummins. I know of some that have more miles then that. I have a friend in California that has that many on a Ford eekkkk. He bought it new and it's the old 6.9 which was just before the 7.3. He has had to do quite a bit of work to it though to keep it running. Anyway, there is a lot of room in the Dodge compaired to the others (it seems) and the fuel down here is running at $1.62 per gallon. I saw one truck stop that had it for $1.57 last week. The fuel economy is the key for the diesels. Where the gas engines are getting 10 and 12 MPG, the diesel is getting 20 to 22 without a load. Now pull a heavy load with the gas and one "Might get" 7 or 8 with it while the diesel is getting 15 to 17 miles per gallon. To me it's worth it to drive the diesel. Better fuel enonomy and they will last OVER 2 or 3 times longer then ANY gas engine and normally with little maintenance. Diesels are the way to go "IF" you need the extra power and are pulling large trailers. Later DC [/QUOTE]
