Bought used in 2000 with 40k, 120k miles now. Rarely tow. V10 gets worse mileage than a diesel but is a lot quieter. It runs fine, no engine or trans problems. Uses a teensy bit of coolant- not worth fixing. Replaced radiator and A/C clutch way back. I'm in northern California so the only rust is on top where the sun has burned off the paint (driving it around Death Valley in August a few years back probably didn't help). Put in LED headlight bulbs- massive improvement. Added cable-actuated selector for 4WD since the vacuum-actuated system is unreliable. Also added a backup camera and a home-made cupholder because the factory one is so absurdly bad. The truck is handy for when I need a truck. The rest of the time it sits out back under a lemon tree with the battery hooked to a trickle charger. Book value is almost nothing, so it's not worth selling. At this rate it will easily last another 20 years.

Outstanding. Wouldn't consider any other truck. A diesel Ram is the way to go. On the older trucks be careful of the automatic tranny. Other wise, outstanding
not bad

What a great truck with the 12 valve diesel. I did the adjustment with great results. I did sell this truck with over 380K miles still running strong and getting over 22mpg and 16 pulling trailer. Tranmission replaced at 180k. No problems with the motor at all. This truck was very easy to work on and very reliable. I wish I still had the truck.
Disappointing Experience

Drive train major component failures out of warantee but under 80,000 miles in light duty operation, costing over $5,000, makes this the most unreliable, costly to operate truck I ever owned. Looks good and handles nicely but not a vehicle you can depend on for reliable, efficient operation.
