Just made the switch from gasser to diesel.

1998 Dodge 12 Valve Cummins auto trans.

First need is tranny rebuild as it has great difficulties with a load.

Thought it was really good choice as well. And less than $4K.

It has 180K miles but sems to run out nice without a load.

Hoping to swap out the 315 tires and wheels for stock wheels and 265 tires.

Welcome to the website! You got a good truck indeed! My 1996 Dodge CTD 12 valve is still the BEST Dodge Cummins Diesel I have owned out of the four that I have had. I have 310,000 on my 96' now.
