Q: the new hemi is about 475 hp and it takes high test gas! high test sells for $2.30 a gal and this monster gets only 7 to 8 miles per gal. thanks but no thanks. i will stay with my t-600 diesel! diesel fuel is only $2.12 a gal and my new2004 gets almost 17 mph average!. the new cummins diesel is a lot quiter. cummins redisigned their engines in mid year 2004. the new diesels have more power better millage and not as noisey as before. i get approx. 16.6 miles to a gal on my 2004 ram 2500 diesel off-road 4 x 4 with a 4.10 rear end and 5 speed automatic. this was a special order to get the new engine & 5 speed. my truck has a 1 ton rating! i heard dodge is coming out with a daytona truck with a bigger hemi than the standard with about 425 hp. maybe that would be better than the cummins i myself dont like the noise from the diesel. wife has a hemi 04 durango. its got lots of power!!! tbone wrote gotta have some help here. if i buy a cummins it is about 5k more than the hemi. given the difference in fuel costs and taking into consideration the mileage difference as well as maintenance costs i figure to be approx. 125k miles to a brake even point. does that sound right to you folks i spent some time driving a 05 hemi powered 2500 4x4 last night very impressive truck. a couple of you own them or just sold one please jump in here need all the pros and cons. also the same truck with a cummins very impressive truck as well. guess it comes down to need vs. want. will i be doing a lot of towing in the next couple of years probably not. will i be plowing snow it looks that way. gotta find out how these hemis plow snow anybody have a blade on one roy your payback miles sounds about right. i figgered mine to be about 100k. keep in mind that with the cummins you get about $2-$3k back for the diesel when you get ready to sell it. which if he follows his current path would be in about 2 years - ----== posted via feeds.com - unlimited-uncensored-secure usenet ==---- http//www.feeds.com the #1 group service in the world! 120000+ groups ----= east and west-coast server farms - total privacy via encryption =---- .

if you dont put fluid in there it will ruin the pump. on thu 10 mar 2005 233203 gmt toller toller@yahoo.com wrote our 2001 grand caravan suddenly is very tough to turn when going slowly.= i=20 checked the fluid resevoir and it is empty. is is worth a try to put in more fluid or does there have to be a leak=20 somewhere that would make adding fluid a waste of time. the nearest = auto=20 parts store is 10 miles away so if there is no chance of it helping to = add=20 fluid i would just as soon get it into a shop as fast as possible. thanks. my wife is recovering from surgery so my son has been driving= it;=20 so i dont really know if it came on suddenly or not.=20 1997 sfa 60920 199819992000200120022003 ama 602785 due to e-mail spamming bots my reply address is incorrect. add a - between mr and wizard this is what we have to do to prevent spamming sucks doesnt it .

the new cummins diesel is a lot quiter. cummins redisigned their engines in mid year 2004. the new diesels have more power better millage and not as noisey as before. well the quiet diesel came in 2003 with the introduction of the common rail injection system among other things but its the pilot injection of the common rail that did the most to reduce the noise. the 2004.5 wasnt a re-design... it was a couple of changes different turbo addition of a cat converter and some ecm updates to make it 50-state emissions legal. and because of that fuel economy went down from the 03 and 04 engines. diesel off-road 4 x 4 with a 4.10 rear end and 5 speed automatic. this was a special order to get the new engine & 5 speed. my truck has a 1 ton rating! boy... somebody sure sold you a bag of $#!t... there is no repeat n o 5spd automatic available now or in the past behind a cummins. the only 5spd auto that dc currently makes is the 545rfe and that is exclusive to the 5.7l hemi. its not nearly strong enough to hold up to the 600ft.lbs. of torque or 610 if you look at an 05 model that the cummins puts out. there have only been thw auto trannies offered for the cummins since the introduction of the hpcr high pressure common rail engine - the 47re behind the 235hp and 250hp engines and the 48re behind the 305hp and 325hp engines. both are 4spd autos which is why they start with a 4. there will be a 5spd automatic available but not for a couple of more years. and as far as the ratings go if you have a 2500 you have a gvwr of 8800lbs. depending on your trucks actual configuration your payload capacity is somewhere around 1900lbs. now while thats close to a ton comparing your payload to an actual 1-ton truck a 3500 srw with a gvwr of 9900lbs. and payload of around 3000lbs. or a 3500drw gvwr of 12000lbs. and a payload close to or just over 5000lbs is a bit misleading. .
