I think all cars and trucks are junk for the price you have to pay for them. I can't seem to find out way dodge front ends need to be replaced far to soon. Every car/truck should come with larger brakes and better suspensions. Audi a-4 front ends wear out in 30,000 miles. junk. what about the...

I could not get the oil filter off and I got on top and kept pulling and pulling until I slipped and put a hole in the air cleaner box. That cost me 75 dollars. After that I took all of my tools to my friends and said you can have these because I will never change my oil or work on my truck...

my 2000 4x4 1500 dodge was getting 15. My friends 1996 ford f250 4x4 was getting 10. Now he has a diesel and he gets 18. Boy, is he happy. I would never have bought a diesel if I didn't think I could get 18+. If my truck was only getting 10-12 I would have put a bomb in it, or ask for my money back.

when I first got my turbo 01 ram it was getting 18 then after 30000 miles and now with 70000 it gets 19-20. the over all average is 19. 6. Even if I step on it 5 times a day and go 85 on highway it still gets 18. I never had less than 16 and that was in stop and go big city driving all day...

I think i'm going with the ranchos. Thanks. I just put 5 sand bags in and they are going to stay there.

I just priced the caps and forget it. $1200. 00 what a joke. Even used $800. 00 is too much. The only thing I ever put in the back is 3 ladders,cleaning suppiles, and 5 sand bags. I think I will get a folding cover($400. 00). When my friend (who drives like an old man ) drives my truck he gets...

I guess I should do that. My dealer is in jail now for not paying off trade in loans. I have to find a different dealer.

I have a 2001 reg cab 4x4 diesel ram(auto with 3. 54gears) I get 19 mpg all the time. I drive 75mph on the highway for 70 miles a day then I drive another 20 in towns for work. Would a cap or bed cover improve my mpg? Every other dodge diesel owner I talk to says they get the same.

My 2001 4x4 dodge(diesel)has the heavy duty springs with the camper package. I drive On the highway all the time and could use new shocks. Do the soft ride shocks work good? I think the ad I saw was rancho. My back tells me to get a caddy with soft leather seats.

What is the deal with the a/c, when I drive my 2001 diesel in the big city (rochester, N. Y. )The temp gauge goes nuts and the a/c is junk. What can be done to fix this? It only takes 5 minutes go from one end of the city to the other.
