I have only 116K on my Cummins and it needs to be replaced to to their technician's ineptness that ruined my motor; the corporation will not take responsibility even with service records going back to 70K miles of trying to resolve... that said,
To the OP: RUN, do not walk, run away from the Dodge truck.
I believe the late 5.9’s were bulletproof (dodge spec’d fuel lift pump issue already resolved), so I don’t get your complaint with Cummins especially since by your own admission it was a technician's ineptness that caused your issue... My 2004 5.9 was amazing, as was my 2007.5 6.7 , though I did have first year (dodge spec’d) 6.7 bolt on emissions equip issues...In contrast, my 16. 6.7 has been trouble free thanks mostly to DEF treating the emissions chemically, primarily within the exhaust tract rather than underneath the hood via massive amounts of EGR...
I very much prefer the uber minor inconvenience of DEF...
