MikeyB,

I read that article the other day. It made me wish my 02 was near death. Unfortunately, it has many, many miles left in it. Maybe, I need two of them.

Just read that article then the wife read it and said that maybe it's time to sell her 03' jetta and take my truck. That means I can get the new 600. I love my wife. Before I met her see was a goodie to shoe. Now she rides quads, drives our 69' chevelle down the drag strip and get muddy. First year we dated she spent every weekend in the garge or at the track with a bunch of hillbilles and never complained about. I told her if she wanted to be with me that were I would be. Ok I'm now getting off my soapbox about my wife.

Cumnhard,
She's a keeper!

My wife was so tired of me talking about buying a '03 Dodge Cummins she told me to go get one and don't come home without it!!!

another sizable customer base -- those rarely needing the enormous torque output, but liking the macho that accompanies the big numbers.

Anything wrong with that?

Texas Diesels

Interesting, 40% of HD diesel pickups in Texas are Dodge Cummins?

And the rest is Furds. I don't even think GM is a blink on the radar screen.
