P.S. We work on those way too much! They are not nice vehicles.
Was waiting for someone to start ragging on the dodge, The new Dodges are far better than the old dodges, front end is tight, This has a Mercedes Transmission in it, instead of the shitty dodge ones. The truck shifts great. AND I dont have to worry about any of that shit for a while note: 4yr, 48,000 mile warranty bumper to bumper. So yeah it covers all that shit. So in essence, this truck is way better than the earlier generations.

I have had 3 or more of those in my inspection bay with 10/12,000 k or less and the tie rods have been junk already. Another 2006 had a hemi blow up because of the wrong oil used in it. The ball joints, wheel bearings, tie rods don't last for shit! They are just as bad as all of the other dog's made before them.

Another show Lady- Why does your car say Corvette on the engine? We have a Corvette and your car doesn't look like one. LMFAO

Nice truck man, but I work for Chrysler Jeep Dodge and as long as you keep up on maintenance then your good. Take advantage of the warranty

Thanks guys, and no matter what I bought, ford, gm, dodge, toyota..... Everyone has their own opinion and will bash one or the other. Im pretty set on never buying another GM truck again, that truck was so problematic its rediculous. I like ford too, theyre great trucks, but they suck ass to work on. I hear the new Tundras are pretty good tho.

The company truck i had before the one i have now was a 2500 hd dodge 2007 with a 350 hemi went good for heavy truck had some recalls on the front end steering parts. The only thing i didnt like was it loved gas i was only getting at best was 11 mi to gal lol. Just change the spark plugs at 30,000 mi intervals theres 2 per cylinders. Make suee you get the right plugs because theres a big difference from 07 to 08 lol.The truck i got now is another dodge but its a 1500 with a 4.9 what a pig lol.
