alt disco... get yourself a 12v cummins, only maintenance u need is rotella, and spray on rust reformer for the **** dodge frame haha... easier to work on then a lawn mower too!

 

And you can buy just half a truck like I did - Cummins with 13,000 miles - $750 govt surplus... real high rear end gear, rated to tug 80,000 pound aircraft and the brakes to stop it...

 

holy **** THATS A DEAL man! id buy 50 and strip the engines out, flood the market and theyd all go in a week!

 

keep the Mark 1 eyeball on govliquidation.com

 

Fortunately, I have two of the old 7.3L's now, and they are ROCK solid. Tow anything, get 22mpg if you drive them right, and with a few mods, will really surprise the ***** in the BMW on the highway....(It's atlanta - they can't help it)

My diesel guy does a lot with fleets and ambulance, and I get to see how bad those newer ones are. I almost bought one of the 6.0's, and am really glad I didn't. They are the communism of diesels - design looks great on paper.

I love the cummins 12v, only problem is that its mounted in a dodge......family member has one, and that truck is a POS, but that motor, man, they knocked it outta the park.

and Savannah - that is one awesome deal you got there! I'm going to keep an eye on that site.
