Dodge cummins models and reliability

Problem is that the engines are going into Dodge/Ram trucks so the "engine" may be fine but if the transmission, brakes, AC, cooling system, electrical components, or interior stuff like the lights and door switches and instruments have problems you will still be visiting the repair shop and paying out large sums.
Look at JD Powers and Consumer Reports to find by model and year the types of repairs reported by thousands of owners over the past 8-10 years and you will be usable information. If you get 20 replies on a forum there will be too few to be relevant regardless of the opinions expressed.
Regardless of the engine under the hood all the 2009 and earlier diesel trucks have been far less reliable overall than newer ones and all are more likely to need expensive repairs than gas engines.
