I bought a 5.9 Cummins new in 2004. It now has 280 k with only new Bosch injectors and a couple of water pumps, total front end rebuild,rebuilt and upgraded R48E. It drives like new and the engine is stock. Your truck sounds great but is way too loud for me.

It is too loud for me as well! The five inch exhaust is entertaining for about the first 30 minutes of a drive, then you are ready for a muffler and a four inch! My truck drives very well for the age as well! How many miles do you see yourself shooting for with your truck?

@@johnramsayskier I’m mostly retired now so I don’t drive it regularly, but I’m thinking about 500 k. A new black paint job , seat cushions, sound deadening pads, etc, and a stereo with back up camera is coming in the next couple months. I plan on keeping it.

@@powerwagon3731 I am aiming for 500 as well! I am going to try and swap in a fourth gen leather drivers seat when my seat is a bit more worn, and I am going to put a flat bed on the back as its a little more practical for my use case.
