Hello everyone from upstate NY (near Rochester). Just found out about this site a couple days ago. Looks like a lot of good info here which I need as I ponder a CTD to replace my 04 1500 Hemi QC. Had a 98 1500 QC before that.This will be no shock to anyone here, but the Hemi is a total gas pig and it does just so-so pulling around my trailer and compact backhoe.

After checking the prices of new CTD's (and almost having a seizure) I've decided used might be the only way to go. It won't be a daily driver so nicely broken in (100K+ miles) should be fine if I can find a nice southern one in good shape.

I'm used to taking care of the little Yanmar diesels in my JD tractors, but I know I have many things to learn about the Cummins. I also need to sort out the pros/cons of the different gens of the engines and trucks.

Well, thats all for now.

 

I used to be a Yankee from NY, let me know and I will help you find nice southern truck!!

 

Welcome to the DTR!

You've come to the right place to learn about CTD's.

Be sure to check our classifieds, as there are some good deals in there from time to time.

Good luck.

 

When i was looking for mine there were several dodge diesels on dallas craigs list for resonable prices. you dont have to worry about rust .just us rednecks beating the **** out of them and telling you there cream puffs.

 

I'm not worried. I was told DTR members only drive their trucks to bingo on Saturday nights and to church on Sunday mornings

 

Welcome to DTR!
