You will find very few people who disagree that the 5.9L Cummins is a bulletproof motor. In stock form it will easily outlast the Dodge it came in.

Nice to find people who are not biased. 
My 2002 is like new, inside and out. Front suspension has been overhauled right at 100k. Manual 6 speed gearbox is original and works fine.
Sorry you got what you feel is a lemon but please do not paint every other Dodge Cummins with the same brush because they are not all alike yours.
If you like Ford PS trucks then say so but cutting down another brand just to make yours look better is not needed.
