Been watching autotrader and Craigslist mostly out of curiousity, dont see any CTD's on any dealer lots?
If this house Im waiting for doesnt come thru I've got a hard on for a CTD especialy after seeing the Powerstrokes fuel milage droping and breakdowns are growing with every year (6.4 didnt fix anything by the looks of it).
i have buddy that wants to get into a 2010. he has a 2005 or 6 with 36,xxx miles. it is the last year of the 5.9 whatever that was. loaded laramie, black, brushguard, cap, nice truck. will see him this weekend and ask what he is going to do.
That place by my house on 76th and Morgan has a 3/4 Dodge on the lot. Didnt catch if it was a CTD or not but one way to find out...

I would tell your buddy to keep his 05 or 06...
Lots of people are not happy with the new 08 and up Cummins/Dodge. From what I understand, the new emissions crap with the filter and the "recycle" to clean it has been nothing but problems. Basically the Computer dumps tons of fuel into it whenever this cycle happens, enough to get unburnt fuel into the exhaust so it burns in the exhaust and "cleans" the filter. Couple of people I know with them are getting terrible mileage (like 3-5 MPG less, 15-16 instead of 18-20) compared to their previous trucks, and theres a lot complaints on the web that it is so bad its getting fuel into the oil, etc....
Also, there are aftermarket ECUs or flashes or whatever to remove that cycle but of course that voids your warranty.
yeah, i told him to keep it. i sold another buddy the identical truck but with the 6.4 or whatever and he has lots of problems. gotta have the new thing though.Quote:

I would have to finance somthing so I would be limited to vintage. Older the better, every emision diesel I work on is a peice of crap, Ford gets worse every year and I HATE putting Isuzu injectors in chevy's, it sucks.
The Common Rail 5.9 isn't an emission diesel by any means...the 03's - 05's don't have cats or anything.
Yea I work on those as well, Im all about any non DPF'er Cummins.
Production numbers of the trucks and whats on lots says people like the 24mpg CTD's.
I love mine, I guess the really only complaint is the tranmission...which works just fine if you don't beat on it lol
Found one I can get even if the house finaly closes, 4x4 Dodge Diesel!

$1500 CTD in town.....thats my luck!
we took a beauty in on trade, a 2001 2500 longbox quad cab, 80,000 miles, its mint. they will probably ask a ton for it though.
That could see $18k still on a lot! The older dodges hold so much value. I should flip mine with 96k mi... well maybe not its payed for.
This is like the sister truck to my 360 gasser and more my price range.

Have big intercoolers ready to go for the early style truck.
