My truck developed the 'death wobble' and I've spent in excess of $2500 trying to fix it. If you aren't aware of what the 'death wobble' is, Google it. There is a serious design flaw in the 2500 and 3500 models that Dodge has yet to address let alone acknowledge. Do not buy this vehicle or it can happen to you. Most people that have this happen to them sell their trucks because of the difficulty in fixing. I'm surprised no one has died (which is probably why Dodge refuses to admit the problem).

True power is found under the hood with
the new Hemi, of course with that comes
poor mileage but it is what it is. The
suspension is what you should expect in
a heavy-duty, stiff. The quad has ample
space for three in the back. The 20-4-
20 split works great up front. Great
pulling power. You will be surprised
how many cars you can smoke off the
line. There is a lot of "hop" in the
front end in 4wd mode with the wheel
cut all the way over, mostly because
the heavy-duties use true u-joints in
the front.

I love this truck. It's a real stump puller. Tows heavy loads great.

FROM THE BEGINNING, TRUCKM HAD WIND
NOISE COMING FROM HEATER BOX, AFTER THE
FIFTH ATTEMPT, PROBLEM WAS SOLVED USING
URETHANE TO SEAL THE HEATER BOX TO
FIREWALL. THE WIPERS DO WHATEVER THEY
WANT WHILE ON, PROBLEM WAS SOLVED AFTER
SECOND ATTEMPT.THE WEATHERSTRIPPING ON
DOOR IS TEARING DUE TO THE EDGE OF DOOR
DIGGING INTO IT WHEN OPENING AND CLOSING
THE DOOR. THREE OUT OF FOUR HEADLIGHT
BOLTS ARE LOOSE. AFTER FIVE MESSAGES TO
FIELD REP THROUGH CUST SERVICE LINE, I
RECEIVED A RETURN CALL AND WAS TOLD TOO
BAD, NOT DODGE'S PROBLEM. THEY ADVISED
ME TO PURCHASE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY..
