Emission problem at 57,000 miles.

Engine needed new heads at 60,000 miles.

Truck needs new rear end bearings at 69,000.

General comments?

What part of this truck does Dodge consider heavy duty?

The dome light works good.

The truck does tow very well.

However every time I tow something the truck has to go in the shop for a $1000.00 repair.

Dodge should lower the cost of this truck to $15,000.00 and call it the new Dodge Throw Away.

At 50,000 miles just throw it away.

That's OK if you make it to 50,000 miles.

My 2001 Dodge 2500 works harder than it was designed to every day. I have had to replace only the tack bar, tires, and fluids. I am very satisfied. It will out pull my friends chevy any day of the week.

I agree that Dodge can out pull Chevy, but not a Ford. The 7.3L power stroke is a work horse!
