not dissing his medal of honor. He was one of the first japan/americans to fight in the war for sure..
all I am saying is once a senator or congressman gets in office unless he/she screws REAL BIG they are hard to get out.. the old devil you know vs the devil you don't know. Where do you think we would be if there were no term limits on president.. look at cuba, hati, chavis in Venezuela, lots of countries in africa to see.. we get the same thing he with senator/congress.. old dogs using old tricks when what we need is more forward thinkers.
NOW... getting back to towing.. in reading the "best MPG forum" it appears the older (pre 2006) cummins engines are the way to go. MPG of 26 hwy not towing and 14-16 towing.. with that said the price difference between gas and diesel will have to get real wide, like 2-3 dollars, before it becomes to much overhead.
I was looking at a 2001 dodge 2500 with 298,000 miles.. seem the first owner worked for International Tractor and did not like to fly so he drove this truck everywhere.. the guy that owns it is second owner and said he know the first guy and oils was changed every 5K miles using mobile 1..
the guy said in email he had the pump and several injector replaced recently a $1800 cost deal. The truck look like new from the pictures both interior and exterior. I always look on carcomplaints.com to see what are usual problems.. on this year pumps and injector are the issue.. he is asking 8K for the rig. there was something about transmission work at 191K but the widow was not able to remember just what was done.
is this a good deal or just a ok deal having to look at pump/injectors replacement is seems.
any you Cummings guys can chime in here..
