I have two dodge rams 2500. one is a diesel standard and the other is gasoline automatic. The diesel with the manual has never gave me a problem but the gasoline with the automatic transmission is not so good. Ive rebuilt it twice so far. The mopar automatic is junk. Gas or diesel the tranny's are junk. Engines are good auto tranny's aren't.
Quality control? None.

The Cummins has proven to be awesome. No problems ever. BUT! The reliability and power of the diesel is overshadowed by the sloppiest body mechanics and workmanship ever. I am now on my 3rd front bumper, (held on by plastic bolts!) and it is starting to go, as well as the bed liner (factory), running boards, & tailgate. Can see the road through the hole in driver's side door.Too many defects to list. Anybody test this thing? I would never get another Dodge product unless it was built by Toyota. Also, unless you sand bag the bed or carry hay for weight, be prepared to have Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, as it shimmies all over the road. Scary.
Best truck on the market - period.

I bought my truck primarily for the Cummins diesel engine. I kept the rest of the truck as simple as possible. The result has been an extremely reliable truck over the years. My old Chevy pickup wich started falling apart at 69k miles could only wish to be as well built. So far, I still have no rattles, nothing coming loose, and am even still on the OEM brakes and tires after 93K miles. This truck will tow anything - no hill has ever slowed this truck down. Fuel economy is tops. I've logged a best figure of 23.7 on a hilly highway trip, maintaining a maximum of 65 mph. Towing loads, typically a double axle car trailer still give me 17 mpg or better.
wonderful engine surounded by junk

want a pricey truck that is junk from the factory but has the best engine on the market? then buy a dodge diesel. looking at 4 year old 2500's that are falling apart(no the engine or tranny unless its an auto)...just cant see spending good money on these poorly engineered vehicles. when is toyota or ford going to get cummins diesel engines in there truck? i guess i will just have to wait or by a gas guzzling powerstroke ford.
Dodges are great

I bought my Dodge last summer and I love it and would not trade it for anything else. It was the best purchase I could have made and I got a great deal on the truck price as well.
