Your Cummins experience parallels mine (without the blown head gasket). A few mods, dirt road, almost the same tow weight, daily driver, snow driver, fun driver, etc. No rust (low humidity)...good maintenance, so hanging in there...and my dog, Charlie, prefers the truck for going bye-bye.
A pilot for fun and means. Soon to be just a pilot for fun.
