I like the common rails You should be able to find one in your price range no problem!

 

common rails are way better to work on..jmo i still have my vp44 in my 01 ,,but i dont like it thought of the ppump but i think thats a waste of time ,just need a good fass

 

yea i thought about a nice 24v or a CR... if i can fine a nice one with a decent $$$$ range

 

that's the tough part......finding one that's not beat all to crap, over 300,000 mi or price to the moon. I looked for over a year before i found mine. but now that i have it i won't even look at gasser...

 

ya i no it iv got a buddy who owns a diesel lot and he deals mostly in dodges but crap even his prices are high...

 

not sure where you are located but keep an eye on southeasttexas dot com and craigslist in the houston area or san antonio area. i have been buying common rail trucks from 7k-13k depending on the truck and problem. one of my last trucks i bought was an 06 3500 lonestar 6 spd 4x4 had busted comp rings in #1 and #6. i gave 13k out the door. drove it home pulled the engine and was back in a running truck for about 2k in parts later. i keep an eye out down here and they are alot of diamonds in the rough to be had if you are willing to grease up a knuckle and work on them.
