My first experience w/ a 6.2 about 4 years ago was I went to look at a extended 3500 GMC. Put $100 dollars down on it, Ebay deal. Drove from NE Ohio to St Louis only to find out it wouldn't start. Thought it would be good for hauling my llamas. Did get my deposit back.

Then I found a rust free 86 Econoline 350 w/ a 6.9 in NC. I could never keep that thing running. Whenever I needed it, it quit, left me stranded many times or wouldn't start. I found an expert that specialized in the 6.9 locally that was on one of the Ford diesel pages. He helped it some. It only had low 127K miles because it never ran.

The 12V trucks are great. Guys that haul love 'em, many make a million miles. Dodges are not light duty trucks they are medium duty. Cummins made 'em that way!
