I have about 84,000 miles on this truck since purchasing it in March of 03. I have a few problems, but nothing that made me hate the truck. The Cummins Diesel engine was my prime reason for the purchase. The realibity of this engine was a huge factor over a Ford or GM products. The Automatic Trannys in the previous Dodge truck had proven to be less then realible, but mine has been great, and the news are better yet. Besides, getting the tranny rebuild to be billet proof is far less money then replacing a diesel engine! Dodge makes solid truck, with better brakes than Ford or GM, better turning radius, and to me better looking. Thats my two cents!
