2012 Hemi 2500 to 2013 Diesel 2500

Joe's 2500 · Oct 2, 2013

Well gang I crossed over and went Diesel after only 10 months. I liked the HEMI but loving a manual 6 speed! I averaged 16 mpg at best on highway and after the first trip on the same route I got 23 mpg- savings $24.00 per weekend traveling. Nice part is the new one is same color as the old with similar interior, went from SLT bighorn to ST Tradesman. I lost a few trinkets but gain a back up camera. I also was able to sell my engine add on for extra cash to the new truck. Here are a few pics.

I will to change my signature to the true blue CTD!!! :patriot:

Sweet truck. You should check out the turbo diesel registry too (TDR), they live and breath Cummins like nobody else. I do miss my Cummins, I like my Hemi but perhaps the next one I will go back to diesel. Next time you go on a hill do me a favor, slowly let the clutch out and give it no gas, dang I miss doing that. Those trucks are truly the best available, but I drove my brand new 4x4 Hemi off the lot for 24k, more important for me this time.

Burla that was AWESOME, never did that before only heard about it. My daughter loved it also and said to her Mom "it had a mind of its own"...lol. I am extremely excited about the truck and the manual and plan on posting a lot of my adventures with it. Right now towing a car and trailer- approx 4k lbs to help with the engine run-in according to the manual, its going well right now.

Diesel is the only way to go. Power with good MPG's, the 2013's are doing better.
