General DieselDiscussion about diesels in general. All brands are welcome, please refrain from brand wars. Discussions about types of diesel fuel also go here.
Yep, complete with 274,000 miles on the truck. That truck was listed on ebay a couple times already and nobody has wanted to touch it yet. Theres a reason for that.

Yeah, I guess the truck must be falling apart around the engine.
Honestly, it probably hasn't sold because nobody knows the true quality of the Cummins install. I'm sure that quality varies widely between a do-it-yourself "chop job" vs a professional installer who does this for a living (Auto World of Montana, and others.)

as the owner of both brand engines, i can tell you now, i wouldnt pay no more for one over the other. i like both engines, and have worked the fire out of them, no compliants for either. as for as quality repoweres by autoworld, i'am sure they do a fine job, but not for my money. i have talked to them a couple times, good folks, but i cant agree with some of their prices or tranny decisions. i completed my gmc/cummins repower about 4 months ago, to be honest it was a cake walk. i will admit mine was a 12v, and shoveing something like a commonrail under the hood would be more difficult, there are aftermarket items that make it a more simple task also. i simply cant agree with the amount of money folks spend to do some of these projects..
