@josh1303 He must be one of those $10/hr mechanics.

[DodgeMan360]

@josh1303 Yeah, its a newer engine, takes time to work out the bugs.

[DodgeMan360]

What a beast

[parafleet]

I don't know about Ram trucks anymore. I saw on a commercial that you have to have a five-fingered salute from a man when you buy one. What is that?!

[MPLSTORM]

the HEMI never had problems when it first came out WTF are you talking about? None of my Cummins have ever had problems either.

[SuperMuise]

Maybe when it was just released in 07, the 6.7 had issues, but thats kinda the way it is when you release a "new" motor. Like the 5.7 hemi (when it was first offered), had a shit storm of problems, or the 6.0L ford in 2003.5 (which is the worst diesel out there)...I mean thats just the way it is. Cummins corrected the problems and NOW the 6.7 is a half decent engine.

Your theory (or this mechanics theory) that diesels "NEED" to be worked is false. They are designed to work, but dont NEED to be.

@SuperMuise

How so iv talked to many people who said they have had many issues with the 6.7L Cummins. Faulty turbos, injectors. Yes the 5.9L cummins is good but many people with 07,08 cummins said they had many issues.

Your an idiot!! You obviously dont know jack shit about diesel motors, especially the cummins! The cummins was designed to be a long lasting work horse. That doesn't mean you "need" to tow or drive highways with them. I know TONS of people here in alberta that use their cummins for everyday driving, drag racing, sled pulling, towing, and the general consensus is....its the best diesel motor hands down! Doesn't matter what your doing with it!!! Tell this "diesel mechanic' hes a dumbass

Dude, I own two cummins ram trucks.

I don't tow anything with them. I just drive them from job to job. I have 214,000 original miles on my 2004 5.9 cummins and I have 177,000 orininal miles on my 2007 6.7 cummins. These engines go strong whether you tow or not. Cummins engines are totally built to run for a long, long time! I simply own these trucks because they run forever and the resale value is strong with these engines when you have high miles.
