[QUOTE="xjmarc, post: 443967, member: 2494"] My 95 Powerstroke, which I drove off the lot, was great when it was running which was less than half the time. Something to do with the glow plugs was recalled years later but dealing with the dealer who said I didn't let them warm up was a pain in the ass. Ether became my best friend even in the summer. I currently use a 97 12valve Cummins and I like it. It's a little cold natured but there are no electronics so you just let it warm up a couple of minutes and you're good. It's got an auto but from what I hear it's the pre 95s that were the worst. Mine is about 200 miles short of 200k and the tranny works fine. Guy I got it from pulled a 36' camper and I pull my jeep so it's been a tow pig all it's life. I hear Duramax is great with programmers but why buy something you have to upgrade to make it perform like other brands stock. My neighbor has a 05 Cummins that I've used a couple of times and it pulls better than any other I've used. Side by side my uncles 03 7.3 I walked off and left him on hills, he could get me on take off though, both pulling simular trailers. [/QUOTE]
