Default First diesel

Thanks for a great forum. I am really enjoying it. I'd like to get a stock diesel pick up. I don't want to modify it, just enjoy it. I don't have a lot of financial resources so I'll be sticking with something a little older.

What are you're recommendations for a stock-but-well-maintained diesel? I will not tow, haul, and just make runs down to the farm about 50 miles each way. In other words, it will be my toy.

Thanks for all your responses.

I enjoy my 95 Powerstroke. Not cheap to build power but reliable and long lasting.

Cummins makes a hell of a motor, it's just a shame they wrapped the motor with a Dodge...

Cummins is amazing, i love mine, never had any problems either, but if you want an awesome stock truck. 06-07 LBZ duramax, those trucks can scream at the stock level.
