Hmmmmm, there's an educated statement. So the Cummins Rams are junk? I guess you had better tell that to the millions of people who have and love them; including the numerous ones with over 1 million miles on them. Might want to think about your statement!
Engines are fine, rest of the truck is junk...
Sorry, those that track reliability put Chrysler at the bottom of the barrel. And they have for years.
When I bought my 98 RAM/Cummins I bought it for the engine figuring the truck would fall apart.You are so wrong and so was I. That truck at 400K still has the original tie rod ends U joints and it's rattle free and the dash is not cracked. I broke the rear pinion gear at 300K doing a 20# launch, One ball joint was showing signs of wear so I replaced them all along with the wheel hub assemblies and front U joints since I had gotten 300K and all was easy to replace at that time.
The interior looks new the body has no rust. Awesome dependable truck!
