One lemon does not indicate that all diesels are bad. And you aren't even complaining about the engine. My experience is just the opposite of yours, in 6 years the truck has been in the shop for 4 hours or less total. And a Dodge gasser might use the same transmission, and that has been their weak point for a long time.
I totally agree. I have simply had way too many problems, and now I can identify which transmission is which. My alignment is off and they can't figure that out, we have a horrible loud whistle that sounds like it comes from the upper right windshield/window area, but the dealer says it's in the wheel well and wants to take out the entire dash to put sealers in. Main rear seal cracked at 9k miles, now having issues again. The truck is only a year and a half old. No problems with engine, no, but it's one thing after another. AGAIN - I love it regardless and will have another Dodge.
I also drive my daughter to school every day, and it's two hours roundtrip twice a day. We live on the east coast, so our mountains don't compare to those out west. I just simply don't know if I NEED the diesel to pull the Jayco - was hoping to get by with gas. I prefer diesel, they're beasts, just not sure it's completely practical. I was hoping for some insight from some of you who tow. Thanks.
