Right. I'm not sure if the stuff I was reading was issue related, most people were saying they were going back to the dealer to see if there were any issues with the DEF tanks or something.
IDK.. I'd rather get a 12' rip all the emissions stuff out, Chip it, Intake it and a few other smaller mods and get awesome MPG's with it. Some guys running these 12's and other Cummins are pulling some awesome MPG's without all the emission stuff.

My dad's F250 with turbo back exhaust, intake, DPF delete, and a tuner can pull 25+ on the interstate all day.

I have several buddies with diesels ranging from a '97 12v to a 2010 6.4TT powerstroke. Almost all of them can pull at least 20mpg and some up to about 26mpg if they keep their feet out of it. For the extra price if mods you can easily increase your fuel economy to that of a crossover SUV despite driving a 7500+ lb truck

Kyle, that cummins would be pretty cool to have! It's a slick truck! Optioned pretty nicely too!
Morgan, I would hate to see the power wagon go but the diesel power magazine test drive reviews of the 3.0 diesel half ton are great! Awesome towing capacity too. It's not exactly a rocket from the factory but there should be some aftermarket performance parts coming out for it before long

The power wagon is far from a rocket too. Lol. The 3.0 in a 1500 would definitely be quicker.

Yeah... I think I said to much today to Emily today.. I think she knows something is up... My plan was to tell her I'm taking my truck up to the dealer to have them fix the recalled part (My truck was apart of the recent recall) and now she is on to me because I keep talking about a Cummins lol
