The Killer Dowel Pin (KDP) was specific to the 12-valve 5.9s used in the first gen and part of the second gen run. Yours looks like an early 3rd gen, which would have the 24-valve 5.9, and was no longer an issue. The thing to watch for in it is for a "53" stamping on the block (from Mexico) which has a greater chance of the block cracking.

That 100 k mile stone stayed important into the 1980s when materials technology finally started to improve and machining started to become automated. There is a huge gap from the mid 70s to the late 80s where there are some car modules that can not be found today because virtually all of them rusted away or became unrepairable.

My dad owns a 2006 2500 Long Bed, and one of my best friends is a diesel tech, so I have been around these trucks quite a bit, and we all accepted that the truck will rot around the motor, those Cummins motors are that stout. Prime example (outside of Hoovie's example here) being the fact that my dad's 06 is at about 180K and the entire front end has been pretty much rebuilt suspension wise. That said, for a 48RE former ranch Truck, it was in fantastic shape and with a valve adjustment, runs like a top The 5.9 Cummins is a gem of a motor. Treat it well, add some additional fuel filtering, and 1,000,000 miles is not out of the question.

The Diplomat reminds me of my first car, a 1984 Oldsmobile. It had the same sort of ultra-comfortable plush velour seats, and sported a similar vinyl faux-cabrio top as was the style with fancy cars back then (with the added bonus of classy little opera lights about where the Dodge's trim-level badges are). Its only flaw was that it drank about as much as the executive who had formerly owned it probably did.

You're welcome Hoovie. Did a great job didn't my friends at Cummins? Yes, I do have friends and spent 2 1/2 years working for Cummins myself. They make some good stuff!! Ok maybe Dodge/RAM had something to do with the rest. I have full confidence that your 04 SLT Cummins RAM will hit 999999 and stop. Or will it? LOL Definitely go see if you can tour the CMEP plant in Columbus!! Don't forget to get your Cummins Million Mile Club swag!!

Unfortunately it was drummed into us British numpties a car is junk after 100k miles, which is obviously not true. The other problem is people do not want to spend any money on old cars either.

With the mileage on that engine, it helps to wait and let the glow plugs cycle on/off a second time before you start it. It should only take another ten seconds or so and it'll start easier.

Cummins motors in Ram trucks don't have glow plugs they have a grid heater which looks like a toaster grid on top of the intake manifold. It heats the air going into the cylinder instead of the cylinder.

The last auto accident I was party to, I was a passenger in a Dodge Diplomat. It was the "company car" for the business I worked for at the time. Wet pavement plus locking up brakes caused car to swap rear with the front right into a guard rail. End of an era, that.

If you are finding the truck rough driving, lower the tire pressure. Kinda start at 30-35 psi in the rear, and 35-40 in the front. Put more air in the tires when pulling a load. A lot of people run the tires at 50 front and 80 rear which is way too hard unless you're pulling a load near max GVWR. You'll cup out the center of your tires driving it as a car at those pressures.

I had a 1987 Dodge Diplomat SE back in 1997 it had 83k miles paid 800.00 for it in perfect shape. Mine was Chestnut brown with beige vinyl top with beige cloth int. Auto PS/PB cold A/C 318 V-8 mine was converted over to EFI Holley Tilt CC Power seats both sides power Moon Roof Power windows power locks wire hubcaps Chrysler Infinity II Sound with cassette and I added a 10 disc CD changer also had white wall tires. it had 88k miles when I got it and I had it for 1 year and half and it had 99k miles when I solid it for 1360.00 in November of 1998. These can not use ethanol based gad it will eat the hoses out and will run way better on 93 premium. I got 20 MPG city and 26 Highway with mine. I also had a 1987 Chrysler Fifth Avenue with the are 2 tone garnet red/silver and all power paid 2800 for it back in 2012 and hit a deer with it State Farm totaled the car with only 950.00 worth of damage. they paid me 6500.00 for the car. This makes no sense and it had 89994 miles actual.
