Dodge - Diesel or gas?
Already know my new truck will be a 2014 Dodge SRW Crew Cab 4x4 with auto tranny. What I don't know is if I should go with the new 6.4 or diesel. Worked outthe numbers and the cost for my use of 15k...

Having owned a Dodge V10 1 ton then to a 1 ton Dodge Cummins I think I am "entitled" to at least my opinion on Dodge products?? I would never ever buy a Dodge truck with there gas pot!. The only thing the Dodge truck ever had going for it was the Cummins! certainly not there truck! They had all sorts of casting issues with the V10's & 360's in the 90's. Bad foundry's in Mexico so they said!.
My mechanic tells me that the Hemmi's of the 04-05 generation are the #1 engine being replaced in cars & trucks in America! He's replacing them all the time. I don't know, thats what he claims. I do know that my V10 went out after about 20,000 miles, Chrysler had to replace the complete engine.
In my opinion Chrysler always cuts corners, crappy gear boxes, smaller brakes etc, there always short of cash they just don't quite engineer it enough.
If your going to go with a gas pot I would stick with Ford or GM, or Dodge with a Cummins. I've had them all, sorry if I offend anyone out there, thats not my intention!
