RonA's logic makes sense to me for why they are disappearing and the prices are going up. It also is almost to the letter why I love my 2nd gen. Stole it for 1500 dollars, added a few parts and a lot of my own work, and it runs like a thief in the night. It gets 21 mpg around town and has whipped a few 3rd gen stockers.

Hmmmm. When my truck had 80,000 miles I told the Service Writers at Cummins Power South they should repair my Killer Dowel Pin for free because it is so obviously a design defect. Every Cummins employee behind the counter immediately laughed out loud. But they did acknowledge the KDP is indeed a problem and they volunteered to fix it -- for $512.

Just to confirm, these engines are NOT guaranteed for 1 million miles.
