My first Ram was a 2004 1500 5.7 2wd. Awesome truck. 160k, the motor blew and I sold it to a local mechanic. I then bought a 2014 Ram 2500hd 5.7 4x4. It was a nightmare. Needed new ring and pinion, broken manifold bolts on both heads, one requiring a new head as the old bolt couldn't be removed, water pump went out, rust above the windshield, alignment issues as 4 shops couldn't get it right, and a faulty radio. The ignition switch was replaced 3x as you could pull the key out of the ignition and the motor would still run. All this by 55k so i got rid if it. The dealership would have the truck for weeks at a time as parts were limited.
You get a good one or a bad one and unfortunately, I got a bad 2014. Good luck to you.
