When you say you haven't had the trans serviced, does that mean recently or ever? If you meant "ever", you've gone way too long, even though your average miles per year is low. With my Rams, I've found that getting a full transmission service every 15-20K miles keeps them running right all the time. I had my 96 Ram 3500 Cummins for 9 years and 127K - even with all the ...

I'm approaching 57,000 miles at 2 weeks shy of my 2005 Ram 3500's 3rd birthday. The 48RE trans has been flawless. kcram - Pickups Host Read More...

Yep, the "alarm" was made a recall for 2003-2005 and is standard on 2006-2008 trucks. If your shifter is indeed getting stuck in R, you definitely want to get the linkage checked. I've not had that happen with my 2005 3500 in 50,000 miles. kcram - Pickups Host Read More...

The dually fenders are attached with perimeter adhesive as well as the hard mounts... plus you have the clearance light wiring to deal with. Doable, but definitely not simple. kcram - Pickups Host Read More...

350 Hemi, High Output Cummins

5.7 hemi

Written by: hersbird on May 21, 2002 08:42 PM

I've read at www.allpar.com that the 5.7 hemi's manufacturing costs are lower then the OHC 4.7's! I bet they still charge more for it! I would kill to see this motor in the current style Dakota. Now that they cancelled the redesign (of the Dakota) I think it's a possibility, but not likely. Man I'd trade my 2000 R/T in on a 2004 or 2005 5.7 Dakota in a minute, especially ... Read More...
