I always liked them because when they were running well, you could not find anything better.

But that was in the early 80s...

And yes,,,,injectors could be a problem with any diesel, but I never saw one burn up...saw them wear out..saw cooling system failures..and overheating..

I’d say about 85% of issues with diesels are fuel related..

If you run one...you have to be a babysitter with your fuel. and filters.. if you do, they pay you back.

I also have a few acquaintances who run the Dodge’s...but before I make a decision, I will do the research.. I am not a Ford fan...just one of those things..

Yes they didn’t “burn” up that was poor choice of words on my part...either scored or melted pistons was my understanding.

I wasn’t riding with the guys but two of them were in one family and they’ve been running, like you, Dodge diesels since the 80s. The old boy lost a couple pistons and his son’s engine was completely shot.

Old boy got his repaired, I think, and the son got undamaged trade value on his for a gasoline model. Old boy was nearly tearful he was such a Cummins loyalist.
