Best:
1. That Cummins Engine--woo-hoo, love it!
2. The sound of the Exhaust Brake in Auto Mode while wailing down a 7-9 percent grade. Priceless!!
3. Better than expected MPG's empty/towing.
Worst:
1. OEM Integrated Brake Controller (less than 8 volts, works great; > 8 volts, not so good).
2. Higher maintenance costs than a gasser (my first diesel--no regrets though; going up, and down, those 7-9 percent grades makes it worth the extra cost of admission--lol!),
