Poor engine for vehicle
2001 Dodge Ram Magnum V6 bought new. Gets about 11 MPG and engine is dangerously weak. Continous knocking in engine. Extreemly poor breaking system.
Ram
The Ram is a overall good truck, its reliable, gets me were i need to go and gets me unstuck through lots of places. The only problem is The dash cracks really really bad and the trim around the gauges.. other than that its a nice truck.
Ram sport
Very happy with this truck. The ride and handling are great. The styling is excellent (better than the new ones). Overall size and function are just what I wanted. Not impressed by the gas mileage, but it is as good as Ford or Chevy at least. It seems well put together, no squeaks or rattles. Nothing falling off, no minor glitches. I had a 1997 just like this one and it was also fun to drive, trouble free and gave me no reason not to buy this one, I only switched to get one with lower miles and the newer sport styling
I love it, but beware!
I bought the Dodge 1500 Ram SLT Laramie in March 01. No problems until this year Feb 04, with 1 month left to go on the waranty and 28500 miles the trans began to slip. The truck was tied up for two weeks at the dealer before they finally agreed to repair it. The front tires wear on the outside even though i rotate every 3000 miles and had the front end adjusted at 12000 and 20000 miles. The front wheel bearings will be next I guess.
Thomas' Ram Opinion
I would have preferred the smaller V8 engine, but to get leather interior and all the upgrades, the only one avail was the 5.7 V8. Two issues have developed, one there is a 'creak' in the suspension that evades remedy and a transmission power module failed that took three visits to the dealer to find. It was repaired under warrantee. No other issues.
