I did have to replace the starter about 5 times but that issue was solved on newer trucks.
Key was that it was a c-code 6.2 and the harmonic never went
Most folks blow the crank after the harmonic breaks

Fair enough, I'm probably thinking of the 6.5's which also may not be as bad as once thought. There had to be some reason you could pick them up for 1/2 the price of a 350 gas powered Chevy all day and night.
I think this new Ram with a 3.6 may replace my Cummins. It will need to have about 1600 pounds of payload in a 4x4 crew cab version and at least 7500# tow rating. I had been eyeing the current version once they started using the 8 speed with the 3.6 but the 2019 seems to have upped it's game. Of course I will probably wait 3 years for some depreciation as well as for it to prove reliable. Adding the Pacifica's plug in hybrid system would move me to get one new but I haven't heard any rumors about that possibility.
