A fellow I work with has one of the newer Dodge 1500 diesels. Seems to like it. Have to admit, my 05 dmax was nicer than my 96 GM 6.5, which is nicer than my 92 Navistar with an IDI 7.3........The MB sprinter I drive at work is real smooth and quiet too. Better than the dmax, then again, about 8 years newer too!
Im sure this will be a winner for its intended useage. Then again, I too would like to see something like this as an option in an 8lug 8600-10K SW 25 or 35 series rig. As like many of us, I do not need a 400+/1000 ft lb torque motor. Something with 250-300hp and 500 lbs of torque is ample for those of us for the most part moving just the truck at gvwr, hauling upwards of 2 tons of material in the bed, and trailers into the 10-12K range, be them bed or bumper style mounting systems!
