Kind of ironic, Ford owns Cummins yet doesn't put one in it's light tucks. Must be a long time contractual deal with Dodge before Ford bought stock in Cummins.

Nope.Fiat owns cummins I think
Can't be true. Cause there's nothin sexy about a cummins. They just work though.No, no, no... Marylin Monroe just bought controlling stock in Cummins. I know its true, because they're not allowed to put anything on the interweb that isn't true!
False.I was told that real diesel engines don't use glow plugs.
The problem with Dodge is the front suspension.You need to change ball joints on it more than the others,unless you buy high dollars aftermarket. Interior kinda falls apart,little by little.too. And the lift pumps suck,or should I say don't suck?
But still what a pain and a joke. This isn't 1955 anymore. Pickups this day and age, or with pickups like Toyota not having any issues, this is why people shy away from American made pickups.The earlier models, like before the mid 2000s, needed the front end treatments, the suspension, front axle and the steering box more than later models. You put all of those together and the trucks tend to wander. There are cures, but they tend to get expensive, along with the unit bearings (the front axle bearing on the 4x4s are replaced as whole units, which are at least $300 to $400 each side IIRC). Then there is the CAD (Center Axle Disconnect) which some people remove and replace with conventional hubs.
All of that together, you can wind up spending $3K to $5K on the front end.
The lift pumps, generally the later electric lift pumps seem to be the ones with problems. The mechanical ones (like mine) work fine as far as I know, and are easier to replace. They are like any other fuel pump more or less.
