5.9L?
Maaan I want a 3rd gen dually so bad but have zero use for one.
Blasphemy!!!!!
Yes sir.
I bought my 3500 QC with 336k miles on it from a guy who pulled a flatbed with skid steer for installing mobile homes. His employee jackknifed the trailer and crunched the passes her side of the truck destroying the doors. I got the truck for $5k and the reason I did it is because he has paperwork that the engine was just rebuilt 10k miles ago ($7k) and the transmission was rebuilt 20k miles ago. I’ve put about $10k into it and it’s my baby. Runs like a top. The 5.9 is the best diesel engine ever made. And I can say that because it’s not controversial and won’t get any ford or Chevy Neanderthals upset
It's true, I want one but basically daily drive empty and when I do pull it could easily be done with my 1/2 ton if not my Magnum. I've been "responsible" and talked myself out of a dually several times. Had a 03 2500 5.9 4x4 for several years and even that was overkill. Only ever pulled a half ton truck with it LOL.
I hear ya on mostly overkill if not needed!
I use them to strictly pull. We recently sold a beauty 06 Mega Cab 2wd and tried a Diesel Motorhome. We disliked it, so back to a 5th wheel. I won’t make another mistake and let this one go, the low mileage Gen 3s are getting like hens teeth and to find a 4x4 Dually in great shape I just got lucky. My other diesels I retired to farm use, two of them still work.
If they would have just put the 5.9l in a Ford Super Duty I would have owned one. Never could figure our why Cummins wanted to be exclusive to the Ram only, they could have cornered the market with Ram and Ford using one.I bought my 3500 QC with 336k miles on it from a guy who pulled a flatbed with skid steer for installing mobile homes.

I was definitely being facetious. But they are now doing them in Nissans right? But the 7.3 was a tank!
