2001 Dodge Ram Pickup SLT 5.9

Summary:

A Great Truck!!!

Faults:

Occasionally the 'Lamp Out' light comes on, cycling the light switch remedies the problem.

General Comments:

Though built in 2001, it's a 2002 RAM 4-door SLT model with the 5.9L gasoline engine and automatic transmission. It has the trailer towing package, but lower (numerically) rear end ratio. I'm extremely satisfied with the vehicle so far, no problems to date.

2001 Dodge Ram Pickup Ram 1500 Standard Cab Laramie Magnum V8

Summary:

Very awesome truck!!

Faults:

The radiator was leaking and took into dealer to get replaced, as it was still under factory warranty. I have not had any more problems with it.

General Comments:

I have an after-market muffler and it sounds kind of like a boat hum.

My Ram is very spacious and find that I have a lot of room to put my gear.

My Ram has performed very well for me and has been very reliable on long trips.

Handles very well on the freeway on cruise control.

The seats are very comfortable for me.

The center console is very roomy and find I can put a lot of stuff in it.

Behind the seats proves to be very reliable in storing stuff out of the way and unseen.

2001 Dodge Ram Pickup Sport XLT V8 5.9 Liter

Summary:

Good truck for the money, at least I think so

Faults:

The side mirror (glass part only) on the passenger side has fallen off twice. The first time was on the lot it was a lot damage and the dealer fixed it in order to sell it to me. The second time was when I was on 635 in Dallas and it scratched the side of my truck. Dealer refused to fix scratches.

General Comments:

I think overall it is a very nice truck. I have heard of others having various problems with the truck, but I think that is true with any vehicle.

Avoid with a passion

Faults:

Continuous minor engine knock.

Windshield cracks repeatedly due to it's size.

General Comments:

Automatic transmission is continously searching for overdrive or just drive, at speeds around 35mph to 45mph.

After owning this vehicle for such a short period of time, I would have been better buying a Chevy Silverado.

I have one and it is great. The real question is does the truck fit your lifestyle like mine does?

2001 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 V-10

Summary:

Pile of crap

Faults:

The outside of bed dented with a load of hay 1000 lbs under the payload. Dented on the outside, not the top rail.

General Comments:

The dealership has been a huge hassle to work with. They pass the buck on a warranty issue to Diamond Chrysler, then drop off the face of the earth without leaving you with Diamond Chrysler contact information.

2001 Dodge Ram Pickup 5.2L

Summary:

End of year close-out, power, style, and great customer service - Get one!

Faults:

No problems to report.

General Comments:

This truck has stylish looks. Sleek design inside and out.

Plenty of power for daily driving and towing. The torque really "shines" through.

Lots of space in the cab (Regular Cab).

Transmission shifts very firm, which is good.

Factory stereo is "adequate", but is easy to upgrade.

I used to be a die-hard Chevrolet person, but the Dodge Pickup has turned things around.
