Tows my piddly 16,200# 5er all through the mountains effortlessly...One of the best looking trucks on the market today, inside and out, but all that is just my humble:), opinion...The truck is a towing animal...wrapped in the lap of luxury :)
I would highly recommend one based on my experiences with a 2010, 2012 and the 13' in my sig.....
What do they say........."Third Time Is A Charm" ;)

I like it.
My truck was built before Fiat even knew about Chrysler, and before the emergence of the RAM. I will keep calling it my Dodge, best truck I ever owned.

Do you mean a 14 or 15 or just anything new to you? My 03 had a bad tps... a DYI cheap repair. It's definitely a keeper and I wouldn't trade for ANY of the new diesels. My FIL has a 07.5 with all the emissions. It had a few reflashes and it's been golden since he started running the ebrake all the time. I wouldn't be afraid of the new ones if I didn't already have my 03. Craig
Craig,
Just curious about losing the TPS, what where the symptoms?
I have an 03 Cummins as well, which I will take to the grave;-)
