low budget and cummins do not go together , 3rd gens are going for 15k+ unless its a real clapped out xxxx. im sure you can find a deal out there , but most people know these trucks hold value due to the non emission stuff

look for a mid 2000's chevy gas with 6.0  could probably get one real cheap if you look hard enough , few yrs ago i purchased a standard cab , bare bones 2006 HD w 6.0/80e  for 1200.00 192k miles no rust , super clean 1 driver company truck it had a bad direct clutch piston in the 80e , cost me 700.00 to rebuild the trans with new converter. i load the heck out of the truck and is just a work horse even with high mileage .

i do also have a 03 cummins w 6spd ill use for longer trips , but i prefer the chevy for local stuff ...... with diesels costing so much you really got to determine if its worth the extra cost to buy one just for occasional use.

Mr Froggy:
Occasional or everyday, diesels are just fine.  As for the Cummins and low budget....A half million miles with routine maintenance is well worth the cost

12 and 24 valve 5.9 Cummins are work horses with good fuel economy.   Consider the fact that the 5.9 Cummins was originally built for a Case Backhoe.

 
Tractor engine durability with good fuel economy......its a no brainer.
