I want to know if a Cummins or Ford diesel is capable of a million mile before reringing engine.If a OM 616 can do it,why not U.S. diesels.
I plan on purchasing a truck soon.
Also if you have a Camper top,can you run stacks.

 

I would say I have run across atleast 6 or 7 1 million mile plus Dodge cummins on original engines. But I have never seen it on a Duramax or ford.

 

OK thats what I really want.

 

the ole man has an 86 ford with 1,26x,xxx miles on it and it was rolled back once or twice.. For about 12 years every time it started it was hooked to either a 30 or 32 foot steel livestock trailer.. tough ole batch..

 

i have 216,000 on my cummins got a long way to go but hope its a million mile truck

 

How reliable are the automatics.

 

My uncle has 2, 1st gens one is a 89 2wd dually and has close to 600k and the other is a 90 4wd dually ex cab and has around 500K they are both stock and have man trans, but he said reg maintenace and a couple of alternators, batteries and a water pump or two is all he has done to either of them and still runnin strong. Long live the CTD!

 

There's a lot a Cummins trucks on the road with a million miles on em and still factory motor. You just won't find them on this type of site cause they are mostly hotshot truckers that are livin on the road and they don't want their trucks bombed. They have to be able to have their trucks worked on at any shop along the way and be nothin but dependable and those two factors don't don't mix well with Bombin your truck for more power, smoke and fun.

 

Yeah I'd like mild improvements no exhaust restrictions,delete EGRs.Water methonal.Maybe chip.
