I bought two 2017 RAMS 3500 After driving for less then a year I had the truck engine going to 10 MPH on the highway numerous times I was told by the dealer PCM is not working correctly and I should Replace the crankcase breather - $330.00 Clean and desoot the EGR system - $399.95Replace the engine air filter - $73.00 Replace the fuel filter and water separator filter - $308 Perform a manual regeneration process and perform fuel treatment - $171.95 After performing a manual regeneration we would have to do an oil change afterwards which is $139.95 Also, the serpentine belt is cracked we recommend replacing it. The cost is $220.00 I did all of the above The next week same problems. The dealer told me I have to replace EGR system $5500 I did that and then the truck started to make a loud cranking noise I was told to change Power control modular (pcm) $4100 and truck is now back by the dealer making terrible noise Truck is a little more then a year old it is one big nightmare. Don't expect any customers service from them I tried to communicate with them but they were very nasty stay away unless you have a lot of money to throw out.

Bullet proof Cummins and smooth tranny coupled with great braking and precise steering are the things that brought me back to Ram. Only con is that with a sub under back seat takes away from lots of storage space. For a crew cab lack of storage in cab is disappointing but worth working around. Another negative and it can be real annoying, when pulling our 5th wheel from a stop and with aggressive throttle their is a loud reverberation through the driveline originating from what I have found out from others to be rear leaf spring issue. By feathering the throttle on start with a load the noise is pretty much null, but it's still a nuisance to know that engineering should have eliminated this defect prior to production.

Traded off a 2008 Ram 3500 Mega Cab for a 2012 Ram 3500 Crew Cab. Huge improvement over the 2008. Interior quality is much better. Seats are very comfortable and good for long road trips, leather quality is excellent. Audio system sounds great. Very quiet for a diesel and more quiet than the 2008. Feature overload, still have not figured them all out yet.

2016 Ram 3500 Limited 4dr Mega Cab 4WD SB (5.7L 8cyl 6A)

I Bought my Ram 3500 Limited Mega-Cab, w/ a 6" lift and oversized Nito's, new back in 2016, and 5 years 92000 miles later she still stacks up against any other truck on the road in performance, reliability and especially looks. I don't know exactly what makes this years 3500 so sexy, maybe its the way it's hood leans forward ever so slightly over the grill, giving it the appearance of a cobra, head back ready to strike. But even sexier than that is this trucks interior. Between the room, wood, leather, alpine sound system and touch screen center console, this truck rivals my MB S600 in Luxury. I've driven this truck all over the country for work, putting as many as 44,000 miles on it in one year alone and never had a break down or so much as a check engine light. At almost 100000 miles this truck still has more power than it knows what to do with and swear drives better under load. This truck wants to pull things up the side of a mountain and with its exhaust brakes down the backside just as easily. I've never thought once about trading her in and at this point think don't believe I ever will. This is my dream truck!

Purchased new from dealer, been in the shop overnight more than 30 days in less than 3 years and 40k miles of ownership. Very dissatisfied with the reliability of the RAM truck surrounding the fantastic Cummins engine. AISIN transmission has been repaired no less than 3 times. Problems with navigation, seating, electrical, ball joints, the list goes on and on. Also have had to deal with 5 recalls.
