We used to have a 2nd Gen Dodge w/ Cummins, tough old beast for sure. I currently have a GMC w/ Duramax. I drive the highway and enjoy the easier ride of the IFS. My son and I have done a good bit of work to the truck. It has 500RWHP, 1000 ft/lbs of torque and can run a 13.25 in the 1/4 mile. On the highway, I get 24MPG,19MPG in the city. I am toying with the idea of putting CNG on it. From what I've studied, it should drop my fuel costs to ~$1.50 per gallon. I will offset a good bit of my investment w/ fuel savings, but do it mostly for a hobby.
