Odd, I've owned four Cummins powered Rams and now a Hemi powered duplicate of my '03 Cummins powered Ram. There is literally nothing stopping me from trading the Hemi powered Ram for another Cummins powered Ram. Money is available and Cummins Rams are marked way down new and used. If my Hemi powered Ram was anywhere near as bad or the Cummins Rams anywhere near as good as described above, I would have traded for my 5th Cummins Ram long before now. It just ain't so. I have no more loyalty or emotional attachment to my truck than I do our Frigidaire refrigerator. It's not a part of me nor do I " just love it" and it's not "just wonderful" or any other silly affections I've read here of guys and their trucks. It's just a truck and it's been a good one. When it's usefulness is used up, it'll be traded for another. I have no agenda or any reason to lie about it. It is what it is and it does what it does well. The Hemi is very smooth and quiet except for a nice hotrod roar at 4200rpm up the steep ones. I remember the thrill of my first diesel and annoying my family and friends with the standard "I'll never own another gasser" line and all the amazing things it does better. 21 years later, I got over it. It's a pickup truck, not a semi tractor. :B
