about 2000 miles on mine... no problems at all. Like this truck more every day.

I just traded my '02 for an '08. So far I am completely amazed at how awesome the '08 is! I was really reluctant to move into a third gen, especially in fear of the 6. 7. However at this point this new truck does everything I had wished my '02 would have done. The 6 spd auto with exhaust brake...

I bought a new 2001 chevy 1500 gas new in 2001. At the time, it was supposed to be a great new design of some sort. It was the biggest pos truck I have ever owned period! 2002 ram 3500 cummins was my next truck. I still drive this truck, and it has been all the way around far superior to the...

I wouldn't think it would be a problem at all.

One thing to consider is that the '08 come standard with an exhaust brake now. Adding an exhaust brake to some of the older trucks, to do it properly, will cost you $2,000 to $3,000 dollars. I know were paying more for the diesel now than we did a few years ago, but were getting more too. I...

I think it's like comparing apples to oranges. The cummins diesel is the best engine in a light truck on the road period. I would never go back to gas. As far as diesel prices compared to gasoline, Diesel is usually higher than gas in winter, and maybe slightly lower in summer. So let's just...

I have been driving my '02 dually for the last 6 years. Thought about going back to srw. Took srw truck out for test drive. No thanks! Even just driving the truck with no load or trailer there seems like such a difference in the feel of stability with the drw truck. I would never go back to srw...

Don't worry about the dog, beware of the owner!!!!!

Those look nice. I just ordered Dura Flaps for my '08 3500 drw. I like the duraflaps because there is no drilling required, and they got me an awesome artwork design for my rear flap!

This is what we all need to do in america, and maybe the fuel prices would settle back down. I bought a used car to drive two years ago. I use the car for everything except work. Then I use my 3500 for work, when I need it. I don't see how people drive these trucks as just everyday vehicles. It...

In my opinion, if you need to think about wether or not you can afford to drive a large vehicle... that probably means you don't need it in the first place. I use my 3500drw to make a living. I wouldn't own one to drive back and forth to a job that didn't require it's use. We need to be more...

I just ordered a 3500 drw couple weeks ago with the 6. 7. When will there be a smarty available for the 6. 7?

No, no upgrade on my 47re.

I have driven an '02 3500 drw with 48re auto for the last six years. I just ordered an '08 3500 drw with 6 spd auto! I thought about a stick on and off, but now with the 6 spd auto, I think it's a no brainer. And the exhaust brake will be amazing! Long bed = great ride and room for cargo.

I had a K&N in my '02. Was at the dealer one day for some work. The mechanic had noticed my K&N and warned me that he had recently been to a seminar or whatever where the specifically warned against the use of these filters in my truck. I think one of the issues is the possibility of excess oil...
