FWIW, I can tell when a Cummins is approaching nearly every time. Sounds like an early turbo'd John Deere. :-)

Probably not a coincidence since the original Cummins 5.9 B-series diesel was a joint venture development between Cummins and Case back in the early 1980s for use in agricultural and construction equipment.

They =are= very loud if someone has added an AM exhaust and/or programmer. I like the Cummins engines overall; my issue is that they're in a Dodge! :-)

To each his/her own, but I've been towing 5th wheels with long bed (to keep on topic) Ram 3500 duallies (V10 gas and Cummins diesels) since 1996 and have never been left on the side of the road yet. I've had fewer problems with my Rams than with most other vehicles that we've owned - exceptions being Hondas, Acuras and Toyotas, none of which ever required anything except routine service, batteries and tires.
