The reason you don't like the replies is that you are getting mature advice, and rolling coal is neither mature nor smart.
That being said, my '94 12 valve Cummins with 300,000 miles is a bargain. Mine has never had any engine work since a new injector pump at 40,000. If you can find a 12 valve Cummins from a city owner it has never hauled a load (maybe a few miles with a travel trailer), never been on rough roads or off road and never been stuck (I mean really stuck) and will have lots of miles left in it. I prefer automatics, they were de-tuned from the factory so they naturally last longer. Your statement of making modifications for more power is, however, totally senseless and only for rich guys that have money to burn. You "enjoy" more power then you really enjoy more engine work after you spin a bearing or throw a rod. Good 12 valve Cummins are still available pretty cheap but not for too many more years.
