01-10 Dodge vs GM, Here is my take: The Dodges started getting alot better in 03. 03-2010 Dodges are pretty much using the same fuel system as the Duramax. The rear diff is the same, the Front diff while one is a SFA and one is IFS they use the same gear set. The Dodge has a front driveshaft and axle joints that will need to be done periodically. The IFS will give less troubles than the Dodge Coil over with higher miles. The 01 to early 04 Dmax trucks have the dreaded LB7 injectors, the 01-06 Early build GMs have the early head gasket design that is prone to failure. Updated gaskets pretty much cures that and the 06s seem to have less trouble with the older style gaskets. I wouldn't even consider a pre 68RFE dodge with an Auto.
