    New member from the Midwest

    Hey all,

    I finally signed up on the forums here. I'm in the market for a single/regular cab cummins and have used this site as a major resource while shopping around.

    I have previously owned a 2011 LML Duramax and a 1996 OBS 7.3 Ford. The LML was my first diesel and I was very happy with the 6.6L and Allison trans combo, but after months at the dealer with emissions related problems I finally threw my hands up and sold it. While the 7.3 was cool, it was like driving the carnival cruise lines down the freeway and I do a lot of driving so that had to go.

    I'm looking at a cummins in the hopes that it will be able to handle all of my unloaded highway commuting as well as tow a 25'-30' foot travel trailer from time to time during the spring/summer/fall.

    - Mark

    Here are some photos of the 7.3 prior to selling.

    Can't seem to find any of the LML right now.

    ~336k miles at the time of sale.
