Used Cummins Diesel Questions
Thinking about buying an older motorhome (100K miles or less) with Cummins but not sure something(engine) won't be masked at purchase to be a problem after writing the check. Internet sites list a lot...

Cummins is reliable, until something fails
Then the diesel parts get expensive
Several grands for a turbo
More for an injection pump
The least expensive thing on this Cummins was the water pump $54 plus labor, it is an itty bitty thing, everything else cost out the wahzoo
Cummins is one of the best engines around, but those unexpected repairs can really dent the pocket book if they happen
Do you really believe the hoses, filters, oil, are any cheaper than the gas?
try buying parts for a V-10.
my life time serpentine belt for the cummins was 28 bucks, I'll never have to buy another.
buy smart not often.
those are NOT engine parts, those are disposable items, that have to be replaced on a regular bassis
i had three gassers before this diesel, i have sunk more REPAIR money in this diesel than i did 'TOTAL' for all three gassers
drive train repairs for a diesel are a small fortune compared to avg gasser
the next one will be a gasser with a FORD engine
