Faults:

The Stock exhaust had been replaced with a true dual setup and the only problem I have had is the Flowmaster Turbo mufflers had rusted completely out, other than that there have been no problems what so ever.

General Comments:

This Truck has never failed to get me from point A to Point B and it is one very strong workhorse in the mud and muck.

The 5.9 litre V-8 Magnum powerplant has more than enough power to get me out of any situation I happen to get in.

Faults:

My transmission gave out, found out later that there is a defect with the 1997 overdrive button that effects the trans.

Radiator had to be changed 5 months after I got it, but was told that it was the original radiator.

Cruise control and AC went out, had to change the vaccum hose and recharge the freon.

General Comments:

This truck is great for family weekends at the beach and camping.

Seats our family of 6 comfortably.

Interior is still immaculate, no wear and tear.

I have the total Premium package with tow package. It just makes driving totally enjoyable.

Faults:

Oxygen sensor went at 40k, some slight knocking, small transmission gasket leak at 65k. No major problems yet, knock on wood. Light in the rear. Windshield seems to attract rocks, and like others the steering wheel is crumbling on top. I paid $10,000, it had 13k miles. That being said, I drive it for a living, lots of power, smooth, ton of room, by the way, the passanger seat is the worst of any truck. too much room, its scary.

General Comments:

Seem to have bought a good one.

The best looking truck out there.

I'll feel bad reading all these horror stories, good luck to you people.

Faults:

This truck has gone through 5 intake manifold gaskets.

It's had the pinion gear replaced.

Now the dealership is telling me that I've got a transmission problem and that it's going to cost around $1600.00 to fix it.

When I had the brakes worked on the first time and that 3 times ago I was told that the brakes on the Dodge Trucks are GM.

If this is true then I think after reading all of these complaints from people that maybe Chrysler needs to get more equipment from GM and less of their own poorly manufactured products.

I wish Chrysler had have gone belly up then I wouldn't be writing this and looking at another lost night of sleep.

General Comments:

The Truck is suppose to be Heavy Duty give me a break it is so far from heavy duty.

Faults:

Serpentine belt breaks every eight to ten thousand miles.

Power steering failure.

ABS brake failure.

Explosion of fuel pre-heater.

Alternator failure.

A/C compressor failure.

Roadside assistance shows up days later and is incompetent. This truck has been flat-bedded six times.

General Comments:

This truck performs amazingly well in most repects. It is a wonderful hauler, it is fuel efficient and it is quite comfortable. Driveability is very competent.

On the downside, this truck is exceedingly unreliable. Long distance trips are tricky at best, roadside assistance is dreadful and many dealers are simply unable to properly service this vehicle.

The worst breakdowns have required weeks and not days for repairs. The longest down-times are as follows: 5 1/2 weeks, 3 weeks, 9 days, 7days, 6 days and several four day periods.

The worst roadside assistance times were

5 days (central Maine), 4 days (eastern Maine) and 3 days (New Brunswick, Canada).

The roadside assistance times refer to the elapsed time from the call for assistance and the time assistance showed up!
