You can take what this ^^ guy says with a grain of salt. Research his past posts and make your own decision on whether or not you can trust his advice when it comes to RAM/Dodge/Cummins...
His posts regarding Ram/Cummins/Dodge are usually a 4 to 5 on the scale.

Are the injectors and turbo's a big problem with the 5.9's?

Only major cost has been a transmission rebuild at 154k,three sets of tires in 155k and a water pump for a grand total of $6200. That equates to $ 620 a year or $.04 a mile. I did not include oil,filters in this which are minor cost. JME.
All of the diesels prior to 08ish have seen some injector issues but I honestly don't think that is restricted to the brand of truck. My 06 was purchased by me with near 180K miles. I have had one injector fail open.
I now have near 200K and no other issues. The only issues were with the trans. The transmission is capable of handling only the stock engine. If you increase power you will without a doubt burn out the trans. How fast obviously depends on your driving style. My engine is stock but I know the truck pulled alot in its life since I know previous owner. Trans makes noise but still fully functional. When it dies I will rebuild it with midly upgraded parts.
