Good info overall.
A few points:
There were cats on the 03-04 California emission trucks. 04.5 600 series was a 50 state legal engine.
2005 had a intercooler that was prone to splitting.
Thanks for the pointers Matt!
Thanks for your nice info-clip even though I'll keep my 12 valve Cummins with over 500K on the untouched (shut off solenoid replaced @ 400K) 300+ HP (4" open pipe and S&B air intake system) engine.
I am still running on the original injectors and the fuel consumption went down to about 22,5 mpg and it may be a good idea to replace them soon.
J - Thanks for the feedback! Also, thanks for taking the time to share your experience.
"10 - 4!"
Not all 53 blocks are bad and the bad ones normally cracked around 50,000 miles. If you run into a 53 block at this point over 20 years old it’s good. I have a 53 block with 280,000 miles with an edge tuner, 40 over injectors, air dog lift pump, hx35 turbo with wicked wheel, cold air intake, rear air suspension, aftermarket intake horn, NV4500 5 speed manual transmission swap with no motor blow by or leaks underneath.
B - You certainly are correct. Thanks for sharing your experience and insight!
I definitely agree with you …what upgrades do you recommend doing, I have the exactly set up as you….
Great video!!! I am looking to get an '06
Awesome, good luck with the search!
That's the same motor I have in my 2001 Dodge 3/4 ton 300000 miles bone stock doesn't smoke a bit. I love it. Should I be concerned about the killer Dowl pin
Rex - If you're at those miles, we would assume the dowel pin has already been updated.
Looking at a 04 5.9l ram 2500. it has a firepunk stage 2 auto trans and a fass fuel system and 150k miles. guy is asking $18k. if everything checks out with blowby, no leaks, no play in the wheels and shit, and no rust (i live in Texas) do you think that is a fair price? looking to tow a travel trailer with a very reliable truck.
Feels pretty reasonable for the mileage. Would just make sure it hasn't been beat to shit with aggressive tuning considering the built trans. Otherwise sounds reasonable, if it's overpriced at all it's by a grand or two max, so I wouldn't say you got a bad deal on it for that price.
@@8020Mediadecided to go with a different truck, a bit more miles but got it for 14.5, built manual trans (not tuned), airdog, and zero blowby. leaking a little bit of oil but i'm pretty sure its either the oil pan or the front crankshaft seal, it left a little oil over the steering rack and 2-3 drops of oil on the pavement after driving for 3 hours at 70mph and sat overnight.
S - Thanks for sharing your experience. Which one did you end up going with?
Kdp (Killer Dowel Pin) was still a thing on the 1998.5-2002
Andy - Thanks for sharing this insight.
I’ve owned em all. Hands down the best and most reliable trucks were the 03-04 6 speeds. My 02 was good too. 12 valves...over rated and have problems too.
Diamond - Both great engines. Thanks for sharing your experience!
