Half million dollar Earthroamers are built from similar Super Dutys with that same powertrain, so it must not worry too many people.
Invest in high-end fuel filtration, and use a good fuel additive to add back some of the lubricity lost in ULSD
Enjoy your truck, they're so pleasant to drive...
Easy. Fix the odometer.
The idea that you don't know how many miles are on the truck when you buy it (or sell it) is the only piece of the puzzle you need to consider. In the example where it broke with 300K miles, who cares? It wouldn't be worth any more with 275K miles, or any less with 325K...

Follow the link and you'll find a 2003 Ram Hemi with 312,518 miles in good running shape. There are six Ram Hemis on eBay right now with over 200K miles...
Are you referring to the closeout 275/80R20 MPT81's? Versus the 335/80R20 MPT81?
The considerations beyond cost are gearing, load, and road manners
The 275s are 10.1% smaller in diameter and 9.2% smaller in rotational circumference than the 335s. This means that the 275s rotate 50 more times...
You'd be an idiot NOT to buy that truck. Use it for a while and see what you like and don't like about it.....all the while continuing to search for the right 1st gen Cummins. When you find your Cummins, then perhaps the good parts/attributes of that gas truck will be of value to the diesel. For...
Congrats!!
If your Sub is cranking over but not starting right away, I doubt it's your fuel pump itself....usually they either work or they don't. I'd bet money that your fuel pressure regulator is failing. When they age/wear they tend to bleed off pressure so when you go to start it there...
Pure to their roots?
You mean like tractors? You do know that Lamborghini was a tractor manufacturer for 15 years before making cars...
Or are you referring to the LM002 that Lamborghini produced 27 years ago?

That Black and Yellow Veyron belonged to Persian designer Bijan (died a year or two ago), and is still parked outside his boutique on Rodeo in the same spot every day. Google it.
Your statement(s) reinforce my minor point. It's the perception, not reality, that full-size domestic US trucks aren't every bit as capable or durable overlanders as any other stock 4x4, save Unimogs.
We're fixated on the vehicles we can't easily get, or don't see often -- the objects of lust...
