My wife and I pulled the trigger on a 2011 RAM 2500 Cummins Crew in September, I have only ever owned Dodges, but in my current line of work have driven all shapes and sizes of the big 3. This is the third Cummins I have owned. The first was a Gen I (1992) club cab. I had 271,000 on it when I sold it and bought a Gen II (2000) quad cab. both of these trucks had over 100,000 when I bought them and I put another 100,000 on each of them. The only thing I did to the first one was replace the auto tranny at around 175K. The second I had a programmer, cold air kit, exhaust and injectors in. Replaced the injection pump at around 160K which was the second replacement according to the guy that did it then added a FASS and a new clutch. Fit, finish and ride were much superior to the '92. The 2011 is a whole different animal, great power, ride, and really quiet...was... even though it had great power any of the new emission laden diesel are so choked up they get horrible mileage..in the mid 14's empty...so an H&S Mini Max, 5" TBE, cold air intake and Sinister EGR delete we are now at around 19-20 mpg, not all that much louder inside...I love this truck!
