Hey guys,
I am looking at potentially buying a 2500 diesel and wanted to ask a few questions. I'm looking for something about 2014 - 2017 with around 40 - 80k miles. I don't know much about Cummins and have been a Chevy guy so I have a few questions and am looking for some advice. I'm not necessarily leaving Chevy for Dodge, but with being a larger purchase, and I always hear good things about the Cummins, I definitely want to check them out.
1) What are the problem areas of these trucks and what questions should I ask?
2) When do glow plugs and injectors typically need replacing? How expensive are they, and how easy are they to DIY?
3) What other normal maintenance/wear and tear should I be aware on these trucks?
4) Are there any specific years, models or features I should avoid?
5) I'm in California, so unfortunately I have to keep emissions crap - what problems/things to avoid in that regard?
Thanks
