"Great all around diesel truck"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The only thing I can complain about is the paint quality. After owning this truck for only a few months, I already had quite a few rock chips on area below the doors. Nothing major though.

General comments?

This is an awesome truck.

It functions as both my horse/flatbed hauler as well as my daily driver to and from work/school.

My 2500 handles well, is comfortable for long trips, and I've gotten up to 26 mpg highway. I average 18-20 mpg city.

I recommend Dodge Ram 2500s (or 3500s) to anyone who asks what kind of truck they should buy.

I find it hard to believe the mileage you get. In fact its impossible!!! I have the 5.9L engine and I get 10 city and 14 highway.

You must be driving a diesel to get that kind of gas mileage. My 360 dodge only gets 11 or 12 mpg.

Just because its hard to believe doesn't mean it isn't true I get 20-23 highway with my 360 motor.

I have heard from different people who have the Ram with the Cummins that they can get 25mpg highway without a load.

Reading his topic, its his diesel truck. The Cummins 6 Cylinder gets 20+ MPG when geared right and driven nicely. Diesel(fuel) contains more power per stroke, and the engine design is more efficient than gasoline.
