Cummins is the most reliable engine ever put in a pickup except it gets put in a piece of junk dodge

depends on what year you're looking at
check www.dieselplace.com/

the 2001-2004.5 (LB7 motor) has the fuel injectors internal to the valve covers. this is a problem because the injectors crack and the seals fail causing diesel to leak into the lower half of the engine. the good news is chevy somewhat admits a problem and has extended the injector warranty to 200k miles. Otherwise it's about $4000 to have a set of injectors replaced, yea, 4 grand. ouch.

the 2004.5-2005 (LLY motor) has external injectors and evidently that problem has been corrected. they tend to overheat however

hey Dodges arn't junk, thats just your opinion and maybe no one wants to hear it. also I see Dodge and Chevy as Equal against the greater ****tey vehicles produced by ford. Have a good one and go Chevy and Dodge!!! lol
