Took the Plunge

Decided to take the Diesel plunge, purchased a 2016 Ram 2500 with the Cummins diesel. I traded in a Ram 1500 with the gas burner Hemi, but no comparison to how the Cummins pulls. Might have an issue with the height on the WDH but its only two inch's higher hooked up.

    Awesome! Going from 1500 gas to 2500 diesel your going to wonder why you didn't take the plunge long ago. When we sold our Chevy 1500 and bought our Duramax it opened up our travels. Your going to enjoy towing.

    Congrats! I love my 2001 5.9L which is still going strong with 266k on the odometer. Every now and then I get new truck envy, but the 01 has been so reliable I just can't get myself to let her go! Enjoy the new truck and let us know how it goes.

    Keep us posted on how well it works out for you. And, how reliable the truck is. It's always good to know these things.

    good choice, try keeping that smile off your face when towing in hilly areas.. !!
