Awesome Truck
High Output Cummins backed by New Venture 6 speed manual transmission. What a great combination. 3.55 axle gears with limited slip rear end. Worst mileage to this point has been 17.4mpg running around town. Hauls my 600 pound 4 wheeler around like it's not there. Drop it in 6th gear on the highway and pass people without shifting. I was looking for this truck in a Chevy or GMC but I am now a Cummins/New Venture fan.
It goes on and on and on and on
This truck is real truck, a work truck and an everyday comfortable truck. It goes to church as well as it goes in snow. After 427k miles, the only real problem I have had is an odor of diesel fuel in the truck if I sit idling with the outside air on. It has been like this since new, and I have talked to many other owners who did not experience this problem. I have talked to many owners who had multiple transmission problems, but I have always maintained mine and after all these miles it still works perfectly. I like this truck so much that I am trying to buy another just like it, but with 400k less miles.

Best Pick-Up I have ever owned
The V-10 (488 CID) will out pull my 2000 Cummins. Its probably the best engine made. Only drawback is poor fuel economy. I have never had any problems with this vehicle in the 5 years I have owned it. The 5 speed manual is tops. Have only used the 4 wheel drive once, and it worked perfectly. Leather heated seats are a plus. I perform maintenance according to the owners manual.
2001 Dodge Ram Quad Cab V10 Stick
I cannot beleive the smoothness and unlimited power this engine produces. It cannot be beat for pulling a fifth wheel (5500 LBS>). Empty on the highway at 72 MPH I can get 15.2 MPG. Pulling the trailer about 8.5.
GO WITH ANYTHING ELSE!
Transmissions on the Dodge's are notorius for having problems and failures. There is NOT enough power, simple little things go wrong all the time. I had the Air Bag light come on and the cruise quit working right away. It makes strange noises. Trans and Transfer case do NOT like to work properly in the winter time! Dodge did a terrible job of protecting them from snow build up which causes problems. You need at least 500lbs in the bed before it will ride like a normal pickup truck.
