Oh yea, Season's 1 and 2 featured a GMC. Chuck still owns that Dodge though, seen him around in it.

Dodges are ugly IMO....with the possible exception of the brand new body style, that one's growing on me a little.
And everyone I've known that had/has a Dodge Hemi pickup was lucky to see 13 mpg out of it.

I do believe Cummings is one of the most clean burning engines. Apparently the EPA thinks so, I work for Kirby inland marine and let me tell you we have a lot of fuel barges which a large majority of them have Cummings engines. There's a picture I put up. Most are usually IL6's on a 30,000 barrel barge.

I've been thinking about doing a 5.9 swap on my '90, just cus. 6.7 seems like it would be a fuel hog to me.
Gotta admit, I love my ford, but I do want a cummins work truck. The '90 will probably end up my play thing, 1500 with the 5.9 my work truck, and then some sporty little economy car.

I have no clue why I love the Dodge body styles so much. I really wanted one of the 94-02 3/4 tons as a first vehicle but someone ended up giving me my 02. I will say that after the 9th gen F-sereis, everything else has had to grow on me. I'm just now to the point of kinda accepting the 11th gen.
My grandfather had a 02 Ram that got 20mpg with his 5.9 Hemi. Now he has a 2011 Hemi and still gets 20mpg. My father had a 2000 Dakota 4WD with the 5.2 and got 19 with it. Now he has a 06 Cummins that got the same mileage as an EB new, and now that it is broken in it blows the EB out of the water and rivals some of the 4 door sedans. It's still stock too. Cummins does state they are some of the most efficient and cleanest engines in their class. Even the guys I know with the first gen 12 valve engines still get 20 mpg. I guarantee that some of it has to do with the fact the B series are I6's in a world of V8 diesels. But the general thing we all seem to be agreeing on is that the diesels will all out pull any gasser on the market, correct?
