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 first are you gonna keep it to 125k second i prefer using a gas over a diesel when plowing. it sounds petty but the initial throttle response is better with a gas and i like that when plowing. i know a couple of guys with the 5.7 that plow and they both like them. both are under 20000 miles but have been trouble free so far. denny cmbba .
