What kind of mileage will the cummins turn in? What years to watch out
for, which are best? What about the tranny? Have they got that problem
fixed yet?

Luther,
I couldn't agree more! I've got an 03 Dodge Cummins pickup with a 6spd, and
I've decided to give it up for a pickup with an automatic since my wife and
I have a few different people who drive it (what a shame they don't give
blind people licenses hahaha)! I've ridden in the Ford Flowerchoke, the GM
DuraCrack and the Dodge Cummins trucks, and they ride the best, have the
best turning circle and, of course, LEGENDARY Cummins power! I believe that
the Cummins is the only one of the bunch that still has both a cast iron
block and heads. As far as cab room, Ford's got them beat in just about
every area. Yesterday, it was the Duracrack, and I must say that it sure
has a lot of power (350HP and 650 LB/FT of torque according to the
salesman). We were making a right hand turn with the pedal at about half
throttle, and it began to spin both rear tires. It could have smoked them
right off the rims if my dad had really stood on it!
