we have 3 cummins trucks. mine a 93 2wd 250 10ft flatbed, dads 04 3500 edge 6spd 4x4 grandpas 77 250 4x4 cummins, all 93 cept the body and frame minus the hood...77hood wouldnt clear. the ride sucks in the first gens but with enough weight they ride fine haha. they pull anything you hook to em, the smoke from my "custom" 8in stack when i take off loaded from a stop sign, the abilaty to start at 20 below without cranking and cranking, the never ending reliabilaty, the looks everyone gives ya, the sound....everything is great about them..not one bad thing...the best part is the 250mph power windows hahaha

i love how anyone can work on it, there isnt much computer bull ****, how day in and day out, it still starts and runs better than other trucks, how it doesnt mind cold weather, how fun they are to work on, oh and finally how hot my girlfriend looks driving it =)

I like how you can keep a spare gallon of coolant and a quart of brake fluid, power steering fluid and trans fluid in the fenderwell next to the battery and still have room to put more spare stuff

What isn't to love?

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

So, I've been thinking about this and thought my previous reply ^^^^ needed something else, a little more meat if you will. So here's what I love about my truck.
i. It's paid for.
ii. It's easy to work on.
iii. I don't need a computer or EST in order to diagnose... or to fix.
iv. There's loads of space for extra junk in my engine bay!
v. There is nothing like it on the road down here. In other parts of the country there may be a good smattering, but not here. So, it's unique.
vi. It's reliable. It's never once let me down. Some things have broken, but not without warning first.
vii. It's mine!
