My toy
I think that I paid too much for the truck, but it has been a good performer and after I put taller rear ends in (3.54)< I began getting 20 miles per gallon. This is better than my wife gets with her Jeep GC Limited.

In stock form it was a slug. Add injectors and a turbo and you have a fun to drive truck. MPG 16 to 20 empty. 12 to 15 towing. Auto trannys need to be upgraded with power upgrades.
Horse Hauler
I pull multi-horse trailer when the truck rolls. I could not be more pleased with the power and fuel economy.It has never failed to start and run well. The secret is doing the maint. ON TIME. Keep the fuel filter changed ON TIME abd you will be happy.
Amazing Dodge Ram 3500 1995
Since I purchased it in 1995 no repairs has been done. Gas mileage has not been excellent, but I have the V10 model.
3500 Ram
This truck has worked very well for me. I am a contractor so I use my truck every day. My mileage is about 11.00 with the V10 gas engine but its worth it when I am towing. I will definately buy another Dodge
I love my truck
I have a Reg cab 2wd 3500 dually diesel with an Auto. I Have 178k miles on her and I just rebuilt the Tranny and had a mild upgrade done to it. I added 4" exhaust and a cold air filter other than that its stock. The truck fires right up in a split second. I had to replace the steering box...at 170k...no biggie...for the most part it been a great truck. the dash cracks as everyone knows... Yes I would get another one!
I love my truck. It's a pulling King!
I'd like to point out this article is flawed from the jump. There was no 5.9L turbodiesel V8. I have the 5.9L turbodiesel, 12 Valve Cummins. It's a straight 6. That being said, it's well beyond 300,000 miles and has yet to be rebuilt. It's down for a clutch right now but even just sitting there it's a sight to behold. Damn I love my truck!
