PLENTY OF POWER, DODGE SHOULD INVEST IN BIGGER EXHAST AND OFFER SOME OF THE GOOD STUFF LIKE A CHIP, AND GAUAGES FOR THE EXHAST TEMP, AND BOOST ETC. OTHER THEN THAT I WAS HOPING FOR BETTER MPG ON THE HIGHWAY EMPTY. BEST I GOT W/ 410 REAR END WAS 10-17 MPG RUNNING AT 65 MPH 2300 RPM. I DO PULL A 37 FT GOOSE NECK 12,000 GVW GOT 11 MPG CAN'T BEAT THAT.
Not your 12 valve diesel

The 24 valve diesel is underpowered and prone to very costly repairs due to the fuel pump problems. I have had to replace 5 lift pumps and two injector pumps. At both times Dodge stated that this was fixed. Only after I did some aftermarket add ons did the dead pump syndrone stop. The truck needs several improvements to be reliable. Lift pump repacement, bigger fuel lines, etc. And why is it so loud with so little power?

a strong reliable truck, very functional, though foot space a bit confinin for long trips, ride and turnin radius is very good for big truck. mileage is very good for power u get, value excellent if u need solid work truck but not luxury conscious, well laid storage areas also

I bought this truck to tow a fully loaded 34-foot fifth wheel camper in the Appalachia Mountians and she is a willing partner. The Low Range and 4wd make it possible to get the camper in almost anywhere. The 12 valve Cummings Turbo Diesel sounds like a big rig and when matched with the 5 speed manual transmission, you can putt down the highway at low rpms. 3rd gear will climb any highway mountain at 45 mph at full tow. A good contractors cap keeps the ride less bouncy when not runnig with loads. Diesel Fuel costs can swing more than gas. But if you need to tow heavy things, this is a hard truck to beat.
