Why did you choose a Dodge Cummins - Page 3

RigMover · 02-12-2008, 10:59 AM

Yeah, I gotta go with Cummins - have had too many larger Cummins that treated me well. I bought the Laramie with as many doo-dads as I could but the others top of the line looks/seems more comfy. Nevertheless, I think my engine will still seem like it just got broken in long after theirs have just broken.
For the record, 1 year of ownership this coming Friday - 29k miles.

i got mine cause it was a cummins.... but i was choosing between mine and a 7.3 ford at this one dealership, and the looks and mainly the stacks sealed the deal.... but now that i know a lot more about cummins than i did when i bought it, im really happy i got the cummins

I can't yet answer why I chose a Cummins because I don't have one yet, but I can tell you this:

- better than 10mpg in my HEMI
- we're a Dodge family

It's a Dodge, the Dealer, the Engine, the service department, and the price was good too.

I got it all
