My box is the only part NOT rusty. My doors and rockers are long gone.
im in the exact same boat as you... rockers and inside of doors are shot... my 24 2002 6 speed extra cab is a good truck after i replaced the lift pump with an in the tank automotive style push pump i never had a fuel injectore problem again... but that was a 5k fix...
i don't know how everyone gets such good mileage on their trucks but my 24v i tow a small trialer... atv and sxs with a trunk full of gear... im lucky to be getting 17-18 litres per 100 km on the meter... empty i get about 14... with a small load it eats diesel at a good pace... i only have exhaust 4 inch all the way and cone air filter
i have 12v 1994 with 92 000 km in the garage at home... only problem is it hasn't been started in 6 years and its only a regular cab...
if i could re do the body on the 24 which has 340 000 km on it i'd dump the 12 valve in it and be happy forever... not sure that could even be done but worth looking into...
i love the dodges as the cummins is a great engine but boy has the 24 valve nickle and dimmed me to death over the years....
i read a saying on here once, can't remember who posted it but he said, "i tell everyone i bought a cummins not a dodge"
