Us 12ver`s can buy 2 good sets or injectors for what one good set cost for them cost.
All the common rail trucks have crazy expensive injectors.

THere is a lot to be said that we don't need an electrical system to drive our trucks, just a little hill to start them...

[QUOTE=mhuppertz;2749145]Hey, I'm not happy about it either. I hope FIAT builds the crap out of the new "Rams" and puts them back on top in every way, but Cummins is in danger of falling behind big time. The factory horsepower wars are now between Ford (with the all new 6.7) and Chevy.
Don't get me wrong, there is no engine as good as a Cummins for torque and reliability. And my butt just doesne't fit anything else but Mother's best. I will probably drive my 1st gen and my 1941 Dodge Military Power Wagon until they take away my keys![/QUOTEyes i agree i have an m37 power wagon and a 91 w250 best dam trucks around
