2004 Dodge Ram Pickup SLT QC 4x4 review from North America

Nothing! I drove it for 25k miles and only had to change the oil (Mobil 1), air filter, and replace the original tires.

However, I will say that around 30k miles I got the "Hemi tick". At idle you can hear a faint ticking sound, especially right after it's started. I googled it and apparently it is "normal" for the Hemi and will run on forever with the tick, but don't quote me on that. I never had any engine problems whatsoever. Some of the other folks who had it also used Mobil 1 oil so maybe there could be a connection there.

One of the baddest looking vehicles on the road. It was comfortable to drive with leather/power drivers seat. I added some Nitto Terra Grappler AT tires and then some sound deadening mat under the carpets and in the door frames to even out the extra road noise. Note the larger tires can add some bump steer when on the highway.

Factory Infinity stereo plenty adequate, though it sounds much better with an added sub. The factory speaks don't reproduce bass that well. I added an MP3 adaptor to it that connects to the factory CD-Changer input allowing the use of the steering wheel controls that otherwise might not work well with an after-market stereo.

I towed a 4000lb boat over 800 miles straight and kept up with traffic the whole way.

The ONLY complaint I have about this truck is the fuel economy. Now I never expected much, but as my living situation changed I started driving 3-4x as far to work and back (50+ miles round trip). Only then did the gas start to eat away at the monthly budget... I averaged about 15hwy/13city. I ended up swapping down to a Chevy Colorado with an I5/manual which should get around 23mpg hwy.
