Ram 2500 5.9L Cummins

  • Automatic transmission
  • 229,965 miles

engine runs rough and noisy blows white smoke

OK, at first this looks like I'm whining about a motor that failed at over 220,000 miles, but stay tuned I have 7- 2004/2005 5.9 Cummins Diesel 2500 Dodge Crew cab Trucks. Of these all but 1 has had the same engine failure, this kind of defeats the value of Diesel engines if they fail at Gas engine longevity numbers.

I have been installing Jasper Engines and now one of them has failed at 60,000 miles, so I'm out of the diesel engine replacement business.
