I've owned my 89 Dodge-Cummins (4WD, 5 speed Getrag) since 1997 and I'm as fond of it as any of my diesel Benzes. Historically, it's usually the newly acquired Benz that rides home on the trailer behind the Cummins.
She's got a beautiful color sanded black paint job, cab lights, chrome 94 wheels, and a cab high cap. When not in use, has a place of honor inside the carriage house. Not too much fun around town, but get her out on the highway with a load, and she's pretty impressive.
Rarely use the radio, love the sound of the engine!
Not that I like it better than my Benzes, but it's got all the simplicity and appeal of a W123 240D with a manual, and I cannot see any reason I'd ever want to part with it.
