Bought an 03 Ram 2500 with 95k miles on it for $5000. Ran badly. Spent $40 on an oil change and $750 on a tune up and it runs like new. Couldn’t be happier

This is an all around good truck. The 2500 hemi has lots of power but poor gas mileage. The only poor quality is the paint, which scratches very easy.

Diesel Engine Failure

At 615 miles the engine failed. Service dept. said #6 pushrod broke. Stated that Dodge techs knew where to look for the problem. It sounded like this had happened before.

Being a Chevy man my whole life this was a big change for me to buy a new Dodge. But I got an SLT Diesel 4-door 3/4 ton 4X4 for UNDER $30,000! A comparable Chevy was over $35,000. As a plus, I got a better warranty and the ledgendary reliabiliy of the Cummins engine. Granted, I only have 2,000 miles on the truck so far, but am extremely happy with it in every way. Fuel mileage isn't quite what I expected (21 mpg highway, 16 city) but should improve over time.

I've always been a "Chevy man" but when it was time to buy my first new truck, I couldn't look the other way when presented with the facts: -Twice the (powertrain) warranty -More horsepower and torque -Better mileage -Legendary Cummins motor -About $5,000 cheaper etc, etc. Looks great, handles great (for a truck), tows great. Stops on a dime. Couldn't ask for anything more. I'm am extremely satisfied with this vehicle. 21,000 problem free miles so far.
