Need some Cummins love!

[Ghetto Fab.]

Shouldn't be any hate in here, its the cummins forum!

I bought mine 6hrs north of where I live. Pretty much took off in the morning with an empty flatbed trailer that my 3/4ton chevy didn't seem to like. Got there, test drove the truck and signed the paperwork. It was a 2014 and had 25k miles on it. Swapped the trailer to the ram and loaded the chevy on the trailer. I had to figure out how to make all the tow haul and exhaust brake stuff work in Sacramento rush hour traffic. Fell in love with it on that drive home. It towed that trailer with 6k lbs on it easier than my old gasser chevy did. I was just thinking the other day that if I lost it somehow (stolen, or whatever), I'd probably replace it with another.

I have concerns with the cost of some of the electrical parts of the truck as it gets older.

Not a single problem with my bone stock truck.

2018 3500 DRW with 34k on it. No issues other recalls on the truck, not the motor. Pulls our 16K 5th wheel with ease and gets reasonable mileage.

My last Cummins made it to 750k before the water pump crapped out. The pump shaft broke and the cooling fan ate the belt just outside San Antonio. I was dead heading to Indianapolis so it was inconvenient to say the least. 8 hours later I was back on the road and made it to Indy with 45 minutes to spare.
