Thanks for the responses guys. Sometimes a guy just gets worn out <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> That comment from the parts guy also had me pretty bummed. I just wish I could get a couple things fixed that no one seems to know how to fix. That cab leak has me perplexed. I've tried tracking it to up above the fuse box and patching it to no avail. It still comes in during heavy rains.

If I could just find a way to fix that and the road noise, I think I'd be much happier with it. I've even lined the floor and the back of the cab with poor man's dynomat, added two layers of carpet and added a nice stereo and it still drives me nuts. After a long day of work or a few hours in the cab I am so sick of the noise.

Would lining the top of the roof help alot?

As far as the Dodge, the Cummins diesel is one of the most solid engines ever made. Diesel repairs may indeed be spendy, but if you pick the right year Cummins they go well over 300K with NOTHING. Now the Dodge itself, might be another story, but I don't see how that is worse than what I have had to do to my Toyota. Make sense? Some of the Cummins are ALL mechanical. Even moreso then my 85 Toy.
