    Run awayyyyyy, those cummins are probably going to need a rebuild. Made a mistake of buying two trucks with 2011&2012 Cummins in them both of them needed a rebuilt. One was a cascadia other was T660. Go with a truck that has a DD15 in it. That's why they are cheap and usually Ryder and Penske don't sell a trucks till it hits 800k.

    2012 cummins are trash. This is when the first of the EGR type trucks w/DEF really made their debut. Lots of problems. Dont do it.

    Wouldnt consider cm2250. 2010-2013 engines are miserable. Post 2013 engine such as cm2350 have less issues.
