^Yes^ :-D
Avoid the 24v like the plague, dodge did the lets make them with cracked heads on that one, like fraud. "unless" you get the HD version they put inserted seats in them & they magnaflux ok most times. The HD's were rare though, really the 04+ common rail with a stick would be okay.
The comment on Japanese engineering can lead you to a d-max though, isuzu's the main builder on that one. We had a 180'000 mile d-max , 6 strokes with a ck-10 & the cylinder was pristine again. They induction harden the cylinder in the top 2" of bore. Then you get a allison too. The truck itself is junk though, especially those flimsy quad cab doors. Its all trade off's. Dont go newer than 04 on your dmax as they changed to a weaker piston & they added to much externally balanced mass that "will" break the crank
Motorrad:
There are 6 Dmax between family and friends. and I cant count the times they have all had to drop $2500 bills because the injection goes to crap. (few of them, more than once)...
Honestly.. I really dont want to deal with all the diesel headaches.
what Im REALLY looking for.
is
(not sure the body style cutoff). but
2000? through 2005?
1500 Silverado / sierra, 4x4, 4 door, (half doors prefered), short bed.. 5.3L. with the nifty billet wheel package (LS package??) with under 100,000 miles, BONE stock.. no lifts, no wheels, no tires, no performance chips, no intakes... no Metal Mulisha stickers.................
that hasnt been "bro" ed to death..
not to be too specific or anything
Id love to have a 2500.. but they all seem to have come with the 6.0 gas pig

If you do get a dodge with the cummings make sure you don't get any of the years that came with that stupid blu tech engine........Very underpowered when compared to other years (I know this from towing experience, not because someone said so) and my company had to pay big bucks to have the exhaust filter replaced because the truck was idled for 15 min warming up on a snowy morning....dealer said, "oh yeah, if you idle these motors the exhaust filter gets clogged"..........Can't idle a diesel.....does this sound stupid to anyone else?? :|
