I noticed that my '08 ram 3500 megacab seemed to have about half the power of my '05 3500 ram. giving it benifit of doubt because it only has 20K on it and they get stronger at 36K So far no problems used as commercial vehicle towing 30 foot goose neck. dodge has the most uncomfortable seats make with out question. engine brake should be on steering wheel not on dash. Not sure what idiot decided to put it on the dash. i would have preferred dodge leave the 5.9 in these trucks. It's bulletproof all the power in the world. the '08 is a a bluetech is a very clean burning diesel. My exhaust pipe is still as clean as if had never been started. Never smokes under any circumstance.
Do not buy this vehicle!

We purchased this vehicle in Feb, 3 days after we bought it we were having to be towed, a hose broke and all the antifreeze ran out, got that repaired, check engine light came on, took in wire harness had to be replaced, 2 weeks later check engine light came on again, they had clean the EGR vlv and EGR Cooler, replace the particulate filter and do a mobile sute cleaning. exactly one month later, same thing, same repairs, one month later same thing same repairs. We only get MAYBE 14 mpg. If Chrysler doesn't do something about this truck they will see it in the middle of their show room floor SOON! From what I hear, this is a problem with all these trucks!

I traded in a 2000 ford with the 7.3 diesel. It was chipped and had after market exaust, intake and after market 4r100 trans. This is my 2nd Dodge (had a 72 PW) So far I'm liking this truck, the ford was much faster from 0 to 60 but the 6.7 Cummins has better low end torque and pure pulling power. It handles a 14,600 pound 38 ft toy hauler very well(in the mountains of Oregon). The 6 speed manual allows me to keep it in the power band on hills without much effort. The milage is not great yet but I am hoping for improvment (14.5-16) empty and 10-12 pulling. The over all build quality isn't what the ford was, only time will tell if it all holds up.
Resistol Package a head turner

I'm really enjoying my 3500 Dually with the Resistol package. Read the manual, waited 1,000 to tow and it pulls my 3-horse 26 ft trailer like a dream. Tip out mirrors a must for towing. Exhaust break a little rough on the horses but it will whoa the truck down in a heartbeat. Only complaint so far is engine light goes on and off - apparently I don't drive it hard enough and the turbo is not able to work properly. Was told by the dealer to drive it like a race care - much to my wife's chagrin. Very comfortable. Ride a little stiff - it's a heavy duty truck so I expect that.
Folks, it's ALOT of truck!

I guess I've been lucky. I traded my '06 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab on a '09 Dodge Ram Quad Cab. I was not impressed with the '09 at all! Talked myself into trading for a leftover '08 Dodge Ram Mega Cab with the 6.7 liter. (Planning on buying a 25' + boat or a 30' camper within the next year). I LOVE the room and as it's the 3rd diesel I've owned, I'm impressed with how quiet it is. Only has 3800k on it to date BUT I've had no problems. I've run 100mph wih it and it runs like a watch. I will admit, for a turbo diesel, the mileage stinks but according to the owners manual it should improve after 6k. Listen folkes, it's a heavy truck! Your NOT going to get 25mpg+ out of it, BUT tow,tow,tow!
