I bought this truck with a lot of of forethought. I have 50+ on this truck with only 1 significant problem (steering linkage) replaced and upgraded no problem. Yes the check engine light comes on when my wife drives it around town too much so I take it out on the highway and get on it ,no problems have come from it so far yes its annoying but the trucks positives outweigh it so far. Good mpg 18 all around. Did great 4x4 through death valley and 395 through a blizzard. Love the excellent brakes. Still have a good 50+ left on the front and more on the rear. I may not have as many problems with the soot in sensor issue due to the manual tranny which allows me to do the thinking not the computer .

I own a 2008 2500 quad cab4x4 s/b I love the look and interior of this truck but have had problems with a thunk in the steering wheel dealer has replaced the front end totally and the problem still exists.I was told today that this is normal for This year and to expect a death wobble possible on the highway at 70 mph if you hit a pot hole or bump the truck will jump out from under you well this happened 3 months ago and never crossed my mind there was a problem till today when told of this . I want to know why Dodge will not fix the problem but the dealer service guys give you a link to aftermarket parts to fix the problem. Government needs to step in we need dodge to step up to the plate.

My truck has a 6.7 liter Diesel, which is very thirsty. I get 11.5 - 13 mpg, even with the tailgate down. I hate to say it, but my '06 Hummer H2 does better than this! I did have a '99 Dodge 5.9 Cummins which averaged 18 mpg on each tank, long trips 21 - 24 mpg were normal. Besides economy, this thing has immense power, I have 35 inch tires on it and the torque abounds. I hope this tranny can handle the power better than the '99s. I will definitely upgrade to leather seats, the copilot complains there is no heat and limited adjustments on the right side. All the storage compartments are great & make good use of unused voids. Style beats Chevy & Ford. No problems with vibrations.

As a highly satisfied 2002 Ram 1500 SLT Quad Cab owner, I was ready to upgrade and looked at the big 3 including multiple reviews (internet, magazines). The Dodge had the best ride of the 3 and although I preferred the interior of my 1500, I still felt the Dodge was most modern (GM's still looked like it hadn't progressed since the 80's). The dodge also had the quietest diesel (especially cruising at highway speed) and the cleanest with essentialy zero soot exhaust. In the end, my satisfaction with 5 years driving my 1500 sold me on the Dodge and reputation sold me on the cummins engine. The truck can be used as a daily driver, work truck and capable off-roader.

Crap

I have had this truck for 6,000 miles and now on my 3rd oil change. I just got it back from the dealer because of of exhaust build up and they had to change out the turbo and the sensors. A service person gave me the lemon law paperwork and told me to keep a copy of all of the work orders and they would see me in a few weeks to fix it again. Not what I wanted to hear after just getting a new truck.
