HUH???

I think he mis spelled it. He meant Cummings! Lol

I've just been stirring the pot a bit but I did take a rather interesting survey of sorts this morning. I went on a searchable classified ads website (Kijiji) and searched "new engine" under cars and trucks for Alberta. Then I hit the filter and selected diesel and got results. I further filtered the results by screening for 2010 - 2016 and got zero. So I did a new search to include '04 through '09. Here's what I got:

6 Fords with new engines installed at between 166,000 km and 215,000 km, There were a couple additional Fords advertising recent engine work.

The surprising thing was there were 5 Rams came up with new engines. Engines were replaced at between 130,000 km and 373,000 km with the others around 300,000 km

There were only 2 Duramax equipped trucks that came up.
One engine was replaced at 160,000 km and 265,000 on the other.

Probably less Duramax equipped trucks are sold is some of it but I was amazed reading through these ads at the amount of mechanical work that gets put into these trucks when they get some years on them. I think I'll continue to keep my truck new.
