Ok i know this has probably been listed a million times but i have to know, i am a gasser as of now but am really in the market for a Cummins, what is the average life span on miles? like should i steer away from a CPD with around 200k? or is that just getting broken in?
Thanks for all the advice.
If you look at any cummins, and the owner says "its just getting broke in" or "its not even broke in" yet...
Walk away while calling him an idiot.
That has to be my biggest gripe with MOST cummins owners, is that one ******** line...While the cummins will go a million miles or more if properly taken care of, You have to remind your self, you arent going to be riding JUST a cummins engine, theres a dodge truck under it...
Any fool who is selling a truck with 100/200/300k miles on it, and says its barely broke in, needs to be slapped very hard, right across the face. I dont give a damn what ANYONE says, you start getting up near 200k miles, and its ALOT, you had better be prepared, and have money saved for upkeep and repairs.
I love my cummins, it does everything a gas truck will do, but better, and with better fuel mileage. Only real complaint is the engine is loud, which makes daily routines kinda annoying(drive throughs, talking with truck running and standing outside etc etc)
