I'm looking into the longevity of the 04-06 trucks. I've heard nothing but praise about the cummins but what about the truck it is put in? How did the truck hold up for the 4+ years you owned it. What sort of things broke. What sort of mileage did you get while you owned it? Your input and...

I'm moving from warm and sunny California to Michigan. How does a 2wd CTD handle in the snow. The roads are plowed pretty quickly so i would have to drive in 3-4 inches at the most. I drive a gasser now but will soon have a CTD. I would like a 2wd because it is lower to the gorund and gets...

I know they changed a lot for emissions on the HO engine. I've heard the HO getting 2-3 mpg worst. What are you experiencing? What year and what kind of truck do you have and what mileage do you get? What year do you think is best?

I got the money, the style and the years of truck i want but still need to figure out 2wd vs 4wd. I just test drove a 2004 2wd and a 4wd. 2 exact trucks on the same bad bumpy road. The 4wd jarred my back pretty good, but the 2wd was a nice ride. So i would like a 2wd if it can be driven in the...

I was just reading up on the differences between the 04 and the 04. 5. Does the pilot injection of the injectors or the extra HP of the HO CTD affect fuel economy? What has everyone been seeing?

I'm looking at 04. 5- 05 truck and know that i can tell if its an HO engine by the VIN #. What letter or number in what spot of the VIN means its a HO with a 48RE? Its easier to call a dealer and ask for a VIN # then it is to drive out there and find out its the wrong truck.

I just test drove 2 2004 2500 today. Both were quad cab short boxes. But on was 2wd, the other was 4wd. The 2wd had 100000 miles and the 4wd had 190000. I drove the same route over bumpy roads. The 4wd ride quality was much worst then the 2wd. It was uncomfortable for my back it so stiff. What...

Found a 2004 2500 2wd HO auto with 222000 miles for 13900. Is this to many miles for a reliable daily driver? Is it about that time where about of parts start wearing out and need replacing? 200000+ miles in 6 years has to be almost all highway. That's not too hard on a truck. What do you think?

I use my 2005 as a daily driver. It has an auto trans. I was thinking a boost, EGT and a rail pressure guage. Rail pressure beacuse alot of problems can happen from low rail pressure and that would be a quick way of knowing whats going on. Or is it better to have a diff guage or in addition to...

Want to fit bigger tires under my stock 2wd. Looking for a leveling kit so i can fit 285/70 17 under. Has anyone heard of issues having a leveling kit?

So I'm trying to buy this 2005 2500. In california to get a truck registered you have to get it smog. The problem is that he has an after market exshaust that has no cat. I don't think it will pass smog. Has anyone had to go thru a california smog test. Did they even look at the exshaust? What...

What size tires can i fit with out rubbing on a 2005 2500 2wd, stock suspension and auto trans? Looking at Michilin LTX/MS or BF Goodrich A/T.

I found a 2005 2500 quad cab 2wd for 17500. It has 125000 miles and is the second owner. It has the bank ram air, intake, exshaust and bullet. He said he changed the oil every 4000 miles snd fuel filter every other oil change. Is this too good to be true or does something not seem right? Said...

Other then a fuel lift pump, what kind of things have left you stranded?

I've looked into getting a 4wd but don't want to deal with all the suspension problems 4wd has. Have you ever had any problems with your 2wd? Have you ever regreted getting a 2wd? Ever get stuck? Mine will be a daily driver in Michigan. Only thing we have is snow, but 200 lbs in the back of my...

Do the 04-05 dodges have more big and little problem then an 04-05 chevy? (Balljoints, liftpump, trans, a/c divertor, etc) Or is it that TDR has just been able to document and identify any problems the dodge has so we can find fixes and the chevy doesn't have a magazine/ website as good to do...

Has anyone switched to carli balljoints? What kind of experiences have you had?

I'm looking into a 3rd Gen CTD. Seeing all these nagative posts is discouraging. Broken trans, death wobble, ball joints, lift pumps, injectors, front bearing hubs, etc. So if you have a good truck and never had a problem, talk about it. Lets hear those good stories! I don't particularly like...

So i've heard mixed info on how often these parts wear out and how hard it is for a DIY guy to change. Do other steering parts have problems as well? What has been your experiences?
