Yeah, they tend to break the EVERYTHING all the time lol.

Diesel emissions issues right and left as well.

 

I had a fleet customer of mine purchase 15 of them... Within the first year they swapped all of them out for F150 5.0s

The regular gas Hemi trucks tend to be trouble free. I would also caution against anything Chrysler with the "3.6 Pentistar" engine

Gotcha. Seems like all the emissions control stuff they put on diesels tends to just screw them up. My original plan was  a Tundra but kinda liked the price and good stuff I read on the Ecodiesel.

I had mine 5 years and it had to go to the dealer once.   Like I said, I had the exhaust return turned off with my tune and it regenned a lot less than the stock setup so maybe that had to do with it, but I have nothing bad to say about the truck.   I got 30 on the highway and averaged 27mpg.  

I won't say there aren't some that had issues, but I think they have gotten a bad rap based on my experience with one personally.  I think when you go to a forum, it is typically for people to complain about something.

yeah, I think you are right about the forums. Most people who are on forums are not praising something just griping about how bad it is. If I do go with the Ram I will order the green diesel tune for it.
