I meant nothing other than sarcasim when I said that the 5.9 isnt alot of money and time consuming. I know you know your stuff and are a longtime ford guy, just trying to help educate others that may be reading.

And thanks for leading me over here...loving the site so far!!!
I know your not bud I just like saying "cool your jets top gun" I think it's hilarious.

And your right the 5.9 is one of the best, but they do have problems too. Nothing like the 6.0 but they do breakdown still, and at a cost of 8-10 grand to convert, i would just bulletproof the 6.0 and save some coin myself......but I am a happy 6.0 owner so that makes a big difference!
To me, if somebody wants a cummins, they should do what you did and just by a dodge, I think its far less likley to have problems that way.
Your right they are made by humans they are going to have problems. Not saying the 5.9 can't. I guess I'm just like a kid in a candy store again about the cummins cause I've never had one before.

Man it's great to have you here!! Tell anyone you can to come and join up!
