Its the Little Things!
Great BIG true truck! Great gas mileage with the diesel. Very comfortable. I'm 6'4" 290 and it's still roomy for me. The only problem I am having is with the Uconnect app on my phone and its interaction with the Pandora app in the truck. It keeps disconnecting and not recognizing the app on my phone. 6 calls to Customer Service and still not working.

Dependable and strong truck
This truck never gave me any problems. I only had to replace the batteries. I always got compliments on the truck. My family was sad when I traded it in. I needed a tax write off this year with a major expense. I know this truck would served me for many more years.

great truck as long as you dont tow a lot!
The Ram has a 68RFE transmission and it is known to have a bad valve body that leaks fluid and pressure into the overdrive circuit. It only shows up when you have a big load on the truck. when it does mess up you are stuck in 3rd gear. Problem will not show up on a typical test drive. I have the Cummins 6.7 in mine but it was not an option when I did the review.

Ram 2500HD 6.4L
2500 and 3500 HD trucks are work trucks so don't expect a ride like the 1500 series. I purchased to tow a 10,000 lb travel trailer and it does a great job in most terrain. Haven't been in big mountains yet and don't plan to. Currently looking to upgrade to Cummins diesel in the same level of rig. Mine currently has the 6.4L and it is a strong engine. Two things I wish they would do: Add the 8 speed tranny to the 6.4 and set the cruise where it downshifts like the new 1500's do. It drops 3, sometimes 4 mph before it downshifts. Brothers new 1500 changes gears at a 1 mph change. Much smoother. Basically, I'm a Mopar guy from the get go having grown up in a Mopar dealership throughout the 50's and 60's.
