[QUOTE="Raido Free America, post: 3650975, member: 45328"] That was suppose to be my attemt at HUMOR! Lighten up, All the above are great diesel trucks,! At higher elevations these Diesel trucks just get better milage, and have more power! That is why you see so many in the rocky Mountains, I guess? I sold my '97, 3500 Dodge to my son in 04 when I bought a new one, Good truck, with 100,000 miles. The started went out, and he replaced it with one from China at a auto parts store. The eplacement starters would last a week, and then fail, he got another on warranty, but got tired of changing them once a week! He finally had to buy a rebuilt Cummings starter, for about $700.00 I think. A news communings was over $1000.00! Just a heads up, if you starter goes out, have the Cummings or likely the Ford, or Chevy Diesel starter rebuilt! We didn't know at the time, A Cummings starter delivers 24 volts initially, then drops back to 12 votes, to turn the Diesel engine over! [/QUOTE]
