Hi all. I have been looking around on here for awhile. I am researching diesel trucks for an upgrade from my old f150. I see a lot of different views on which is best and why the owner thinks so but I am looking for a little more detail. I am looking for a 2500 or 3500 truck. What I have read is the Cummins is much simpler to work on than the others. I would particularly like to know of issues related to the engine, trans and t-case. Also, some tips when looking at used diesels. Thanks in advance for any help.

I like the 3500. SRW. 2012 in the ram started the DEF era? Ive read that the transmissions are the weak link. Also problems with the T case that has the full time mode. Have any of you experienced problems?
