How many people have you converted to the Dodge/Cummins Truck

I am interested in how many people you have converted to the Dodge/Cummins trucks. I was converted into the diesel world back in 1991, by a friend of mine that still drives Cummins powered Dodges.

Myself, I have talked probably 5 people into trying out the Cummins and they all still drive Cummins diesels.

Just wondering how many people you have converted over to the Cummins?

Two for me and they both love them. Plus I gave one to my Dad and he loved it.

I have gotten 3 of my buddies to get them. One is looking at getting his second. A 4500 chasis cab. At least 2 or 3 other buddies have told me they want one real bad.

I tell my friends they are junk and don't buy one. I like driving a superior truck over them
But actualy I have converted 2 people to the cummins and I think another is going to take the leap

my nieghbor was the one who converted me, well it was my first diesel but he moved me in the right direction. And to think I was about to buy a chevy 6.5 before I knew any better. He'd drive home and he lives about 1/4 mile away and I could hear the rumble, lol. Now i'm the one vibrating houses on my way out.

My dad was sold after driving mine for two hours. Told me he made up his mind to go shopping for one on a Sunday and had a new truck by Thursday of the same week!

Uh. Like everyone here. It is a Dodge Deisel forum.

I would not expect to see anyone here that's converted to Ford Escorts.
