Very Nice.
But I like mine, can drop the trailer in the home owners driveway so I don't have to lug my tools back and forth.:D

Thats a good one.:lol1:
Yep, I like the Cummins, nearly 300K on mine, uses no oil and still gets over 700 miles a tank (22 mpg). :)

Davy, I went back to the Cummins. I know we spoke a few times about the Sprinter. After a month in the shop, got me a real work truck. It has the 6.7 Cummins. Lovin' the feel of some power to move the big rig down the road.

Davy, I bet that Cummins does use oil. Check your owners' manual, it'll say for sure and how much to put in. There's probably a dipstick under the hood, too.
:D

Mmmm... Mumph..... mmmmm....
Naw..... I'm not gonna' say it.
Opie..... wha' happen with the blue truck.... that was a nice rig.
Maybe that's why it doesn't use any oil, no dip stick to check.:crazy:
I change it myself, I've never added any between oil changes. I think Cummins recommends a rebuild at 350K. I've had several guys say that you can't hardly wear them out, the rest of the truck will fall apart first. I knew a plumber that had one, it had 750K on it, he died, the truck is still running. :shrug:

Ive had good luck with my 05 RAM Hemi..........I dont haul much with it beyond tools.......Still have the Chevy 2500HD if i really need it.
Shop delivers Big jobs in a truck with hydraulic lift gate etc........small jobs like tub splashes or bathroom floors are pretty insignificant weight wise.
Dodge gets 16 mpg avg city/hwy and I get around 18.8 at 70 mph when I head to Texas basically EMPTY( would get around 20 mpg at 55 mph )
The DODGE Cab is well laid out and I Dont think I would ever want to be without my OFFICE DESK ( center flip down is a DAILY Joy to live with ;) )
I do like the looks of that NEW Ford F350........ahhhhh well, will have to leave the one to the Masons & Brickies I guess ;)
