Just kicking tires with the thought of getting a cummins. Had a a couple questions for you guys. 05 SLT 4x4 quad can long bed, 5.9L, 236k miles, one owner all service records, newer tranny and tires. Asking 11 grand. Seems like a deal? I don't know that I'll pursue it, but it got me thinking. So the following is hypothetical: As a daily driver with the occasionally monthly 500 mile road trip, would this be a decent choice? (Or any cummins for that matter) also my main concern is cost of ownership. On any diesel no matter mileage, what have y'all's experiences been with repairs and such. Some I have heard say it's cheaper to own a diesel than a gasser, others claim service and parts are 3x more expensive. No, I don't tow much or very often, but I am looking for a lifetime truck that I can do anything anywhere with as my needs may change. Limited budget right now says that whatever I have needs to be fairly decent on the wallet as far as services and such. Where are he negatives to daily driving cummins ownership? Or am I better off sticking with my Hemi?
