dodge diesels

14 Ram, too early for problems, only 3500 miles. As for the drive and fuel mileage I could not be happier. Health combination of hey, city and towing I get 16mpg avg.

Water pumps fail
Injectors fail
Front end fail
Tranny fail

All issues that I have read about..........

Only thing I have experienced is the water pump peeing like a cow on a flat rock at 85K

But it still puts a smile on my face when hooked up to 5vr, cruise set to 62 mph and going up 6% (+) grades. Tractor engine wrapped in a DODGE skin

I had a 03 since new, never a problem and the guy that bought it loves it. My 14 is like a BMW wrapped up in a truck. The power and just everything about the new ones is just another world. I loaded the 14 and am glad I did. Tows my 31 ft, 7K+ pound TT like it isn't there. Yep, there is smog devices but they don't bother me. Test drive a Laramie and check out the inside. Enjoy.

I have a '98 Ram 2500... And it's had some issues.,,but not worth complaining about. I love this truck. If you want a list...the sensor for under the center seat that controls the shoulder harnesses went bad. I replaced it myself. The throttle position sensor has gone out twice...I replaced it. The 5th gear on my NV4500 transmission came off the shaft, I rebuilt the main shaft with a kit from quad 4x4...works great! I've gone thru two a/c compressor clutches...I replaced the compressors. I have had two leaky evaporators, which I've replaced. I'm over 220,000 miles...and I suspect I will need to replace the clutch at some point... not yet,,,knock on wood. I replaced the radiator when it developed a leak. Other than that...It's just been filters, oil, braking components, shocks, tires, batteries, and a fuel boost pump. All in all...I'm VERY happy with this truck. I expect to get another 10 years out of it. I will buy a New 3500 diesel when I retire. I can only hope that it's as good as my present truck.

I'm on my 5th Dodge/RAM, 3rd diesel. They have been very good trucks. My '12 just turned 3 years old, and 36000 miles. I do not plan on buying an extended warranty.

I think all 3 of the brands have good diesels right now. Personally, I like everything that is wrapped around the engine as well. If I were buying today, it would be another Dodge/RAM.

Any problems?
No, no "Dodge" truck has ever had any kind of problem. :R

If thinking new or newer like late 11 HO and newer they have been extremely reliable.

Question is new or used? New the emission issues are pretty well covered on the new ones. Used how used, we have a 2001 bought four years ago. still strong at 275,000 miles, no diesels are with out issues but Cummins are very reliable.

The body on mine is just as good as the engine, Laramie SLT fully loaded and it all still works.

You are a few years late for getting a Dodge truck, since they no longer make trucks. But, Ram Trucks makes a pretty good truck with a Cummins Diesel engine. Just look at how many applications use the Cummins ISB Engine, Between Motorhomes, Ram Trucks, Ford MDT, School Busses, ETC.

With respect, but you pushed a button: So, Ram is not a Dodge? Where were they built? In Dodge factories. (I know some assembled in Mexico) Where are they sold? At Dodge dealers. Who does factory service for them? Dodge dealers.

I have never seen a RAM Factory or a RAM dealership.

I own a Ram, but it is a DODGE at heart, regardless of the name on the truck. Kinda misleading. Kinda like putting a Chevy badge on a Ford and pretending it Chevy. Just does not compute with me. Never will.

That said, My Ram is the best truck I have ever owned, ever.

What year(s) trucks are you looking at? Brand new, third gen, second gen. You are going to have to give more info.
