I have a single stack on the cummins it is cool for a few min then it just gets to be too much. but other than that all my truck does is tow my toyota and the daily driver job. well I hope for your sake that it comes in and you get ahold of it I think you will be happy with it.

Yeah me too. I always get pumped about stuff and it never happens, but this one seems pretty solid

Hey man, welcome to Dieselbombers. I think you will be fine with this truck. There are a few other Jeepin members here as well.

Just buy it. You won't be sorry. Everyone jumps on the early injector problem like it was some kind of plague. It's been fixed for a while now. They're great trucks with very few problems with any part of them.

If you want, PM me the VIN and I can possibly run it for you. I'd be able to tell what's been done under warranty. The injectors have most likely been done though.

What types of things should I look out for that could be in my near future and could be pricey. Mind you, since my dad has a shop, parts, and labor are cheap. Im on the fence between this truck and a 1998 toyota tacoma. Obviously I want the chevy, but I know that the yota will be problem free up to around 200k and it has 100k now. (the 2 trucks are within $2500 of each other) I know deep down that I should just sack up and get the chevy, because I need something to tow my samurai


Maybe this should be in a different section, but its pretty noob-ish
so I'll just leave it here

Not sure about the yota going 200K but I can tell you that out of the 11 DMax's in the two freight companies in my family, 8 of them have over 250K, 2 of them have over 350K, and one has hit the 500K mark. Not one blown motor yet and they get run hard.

If the one you are looking at has 180K then it's probably already had the updated injectors installed.

Click on my garage link in my sig to see a single stack on an '05 crew cab.
