Best Truck Ever

This is the best truck I have ever owned. I have driven many many different trucks and I tell you without a shadow of a doubt this one takes the cake. It comes stock with an exhaust brake. It has plenty of room and more get up and go the it's earlier form the 5.9L. I was messing around with my cousin and we did a pull off with my truck vs his Ford and I drug him through the mud no problem. I love the best in class exterior design. no brick in the wind action like the Chevys. And the best of the best I can pull my 15,000lb trailer (even though it's not recomended) and still get 18mpg.

6.7 Cummins Diesel

the 6.7 is strong, bad thing is the diesel particulate filter stops up after time on normal driving conditions, not hauling heavy loads.

The worst vehicle I have ever owned

First this thing rides like a tank and just about knocks your fillings out over bumps (why would any manufacturer spec tire pressures of 60f/70r in a truck that is rated to tow less than their own 1/2 tons)to start this 38 trips to the shop in 23 months. 3 windshield wiper motors, 3 blower motors, replaced intermediate steering shaft twice, all the steering components once and a couple twice and the truck still drives like it's on marbles and just wants to wander around, I got used to that but try that with a 34 foot trailer out back. Cruise control works only when it wants to, replaced all the doors and motors on the heater box and then had to replace the entire heater box assembly and I won't

O2 Sensor Nightmares

I have owned three (3) Dodge Cummins diesel trucks. Until the 2008, I never had a problem with them and worked them all hard. This 2008 with the EPA emissions is a total nightmare. The O2 sensor has been replaced and/or cleaned five (5) times and still corrodes up about every 1,200 miles. My attitude is "If it's not broken, don't fix it!". Why Dodge took a great performing vehicle and screwed it up is a mystery to me. Diesel's have always smoked a little and the environment has never been the worst for it. I'm sure there have been complaints that have driven the EPA to place restrictions on diesel emission, but come on America, don't we have more important things to fix? Leave trucks alone!
