I have had a 77 m-886 Dodge for 5 yrs now , & have a friend with a 1010 CUCV ambulance , after many hours working on both , an exmilitary mechanic attached to a cav unit, my opinion is that on the Dodge , parts are common , its easy to work on & always starts, the GM , welll in all that time my friend has owned it , it has ran 2 out 5 yrs , due to various electrical problems due to an overcomplicated system & & various troubles & expense of diesel parts,
ask anyone who likes to drive more than spend money & repairs & being stranded , theyll tell you to get a Dodge
