Cummins Guys

[Whoknows4077]

I know there is atleast one on here I always see him talking about them.

My dad just got an '11 cummins
Truck is nice as can be... Sorry ford guys it makes his old 01 f250 seem like junk.

But I usually keep track of the family maintance on the vechicles so... Is there a website I can keep track of all of it or any kind of good info to read up on.

Truck is freaking great, remote start, touch screen radio, trailer sensors or something, 4wd, Great truck.
Just new to me.

And I do have a couple questions that will probably be dumb. But hey Id rather ask a dumb questioin than give a dumb answer.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks

I think its so nice Im going to post pictures of it once I get it cleaned up... But my dad actually uses his at job sites, so the minute he got it it was dirty lol...

That reminds me... can a 4X4 cummins fit through the standard car wash??? lol. Those new ones? anyone know? I know stupid questions but never hurts to ask.

My .02 is to delete that sob and get a tuner. Removing the dpf and egr will net big mpg gains and greatly extend turbo life. Work that pig hard. That's what its made for and it'll help keep the turbo and passages clean.

deleted my 08 6.7 and with the Smarty Jr on level 2, saw a 3mpg gain around town instantly. It does better than my old 07 escalade by 5mpg city and is even better than our 2010 Ram 1500 at both city and highway.

Love it so much we are probably going to get rid of the 2010 and find another 04 to 09 Dually for trailer upgrade later....that and not losing money on a truck that just sits all the time right now.

Look this is my dads truck... I just want to find maintance schedules and what not. a good site to ask questions if something were to go wrong. if you ask me this truck is my moms car on 4X4 its pretty new to me. lots of options. I learn they listen.

[Cooter]

Maint schedules are in the owner's manual

What cooter said and don't skimp on filters.

What does any of that have to do with a Cummins specific question?
And trust me, it's still a dodge.

Cummins or not, the engine size doesn't matter.

Call the dealer, get the book from them, it should be in the truck - it contains all service intervals.

[Whoknows4077]

I will call the dealer. see what they can do... rather a dodge than a ford. we have had nothing but trouble with our f250s. all have blown trannys. my dads old truck is like a old grandpa he knows the ropes but we have put about 10 grand in him. These trucks get used towing every day. the ford trans suck. at least from 01/02 I love my dads truck its a beast cant hear shit when your driving its nice lol.... all you hear is motor and turbo... his new DODGE you do not hear any of that... on the highway he told me to see how it goes... i hit 90 he said dont be a pussy... i said how fast do you want me to go... im at 90 he said "oh" slow down.

[Whoknows4077]

I loved ford diesels before but after getting in this dodge... ford needs to step its game up. Last cummins i was in was a beast... this one is better.

6.4 fords can be beast pretty easily... The 6.0 aftermarket is finally catching up and guys are making some good power out of them now also.

Your post shows your lack of knowledge and experience with both trucks. I've logged over a million miles in Dodges, I won't have another one. Their quality is shit, their transmissions are shit, their electronics are shit, the ONLY thing worth a fuck on a Dodge is the one part that ISN'T build by Dodge. Ford build quality is light years ahead of Dodge, their transmissions are night and day difference.

The 01 truck was essentially designed in the mid 90's, so the comparison isn't close. Drive a new Ford and get back to me.

My experience is after towing, heavy, for the lives of the vehicles, and experiencing all the nuances each has to offer.

Seriously? Have you driven a new 6.7 stroke or ridden in a tuned 6.4? Lol

I don't think there's a nicer truck made when it comes to a new loaded 6.7 SD
