[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1125221, member: 9096"] Remember that we don't live in a time where companies try to make quality anymore... they only design it to be a bit better than the competition, and sometimes they fail. Dodge started to engineer obsolescence with my model year.. the '94, more plastic in the interior, all clipped on, ball joints instead of kingpins, lighter duty tie rod ends, and a more complicated front end design in general. My dad's '92 has leaf springs and kingpins, and is a pretty cheap truck to maintain. The Cummins 5.9L has become a 'consumer item' as well, the head gaskets are now made in china, the block and most steel parts in Brazil, even my Bosch injector pump is made in Brazil. Some of the 24V engines had bad castings, but I compared 2 heads for the 12V, and can say I think the Brazilian one is better than the US one.. It corroded less, and the shape of the ports was nicer. No one makes a REAL medium duty truck anymore [/QUOTE]
