I own a dodge ram 2500 with the cummins turbo diesel 24 valve. with 140,000k miles. It pulls all that i have. Nice truck. Rough ride due to the straight axle up front. The seat wear out and tranny slips in o/d going about 50 mph. I love this ride and i'm considering getting a 05 with the cummins. I get 16.5 mpg all the time and 15.5 pulling a full size truck in GA. get the diesel better on gas and sounds like a semi.gas is poor when pulling and downs the gas.
Optional O/D when works

Tough truck overall but 5 speed manual transmission has serious design defect on models with diesel engine. Fifth gear retaining nut tends to loosen rendering overdrive inoperable. When everything works will pull my 9000 pounds travel trailer with ease. Engine noise is rather loud in comparison with other makes.
Generally a Great Truck

Overall, I have been very happy with this truck. I've used it to both haul horses across the country and to run around town. Always draws looks with its attractiveness, although the VERY loud diesel engine makes the compliments hard to hear! Only problems have been with electical/computer elements (sending units specifically) and I've had a hard time pinning Dodge down on repairing them under my extended warranty.
one good truck

98 v10 pulls a 10,000lbs camper and 2 four wheelers up the big hill west of denver with no problem. fairly good fuel milage, for a poor mans diesel. 11.5 empty,8 towing
Poor Milage
