Allison has the highest warranty cost? You can get a Dodge with a Cummins for 10 grand less than a Ford or Chevy? I sure wish I lived where you live! On the east coast it will cost you (at sticker) $47000 for a loaded Ford, Chevy, or a Dodge! If you go to the web sites and "build your own" the...

I'm sorry,I am not trying to bust your balls. The post I quoted did not mention the reasons for your transmission failure. It is obvious you have had good luck with your transmission and bad luck with the Allison. What amazes me is that every Dodge truck list or forum (2nd and 3rd...

Here is another quote from another thread

So you can use 5th while towing. Dodge just tells you to not use overdrive when towing... and believe me, they mean it! I also think it's a shame to have such a great truck with such a worthless transmission, I really hope Dodge finally gets it right. Keith

I was at the Chevy dealership today talking with a friend who is a Duramax mechanic. He had to answer a call and it was from the Dodge dealership... the mechanic had a question about the Allison transmission! The Chevy mechanic told me that they had just started using them in the Dodge! :--)...

I have been getting 19-22 in town and 22-26 on the road with the best being 28. 5 between Williamsburg VA. and the DelMarVa penisula. (I just fill it up whenever I feel...

What are the symptoms of a cracked spring bucket? I have a '95 4X2 with 200,000+ miles, I have a "thump" in the front end when I come to a stop and when I pull out. I can feel this "thump" in the steering, brakes, and by the "seat of pants". I have had a local alignment shop look for the problem...

Try to find company's that use Ram's for work trucks. They will have high miles, but lots of history and maintainance. Usually they will be priced to sell. I found one for less than $7500 and all it has ever done is carry a 1200# tank, it has NEVER towed anything. K. Whitlow 1995 2500, auto...
