2005 Dodge Ram 3500 Reviews and Ratings

I started *** after the Dodge design in the 90''s. The design just kept getting better. Then I bought my own Ram. I was only getting 16-16.2 mpg. However,since putting a canopy on my truck, my mpg has gone from 16.2 to 18.4. This is my 3rd truck, the others were both Fords. I throw rocks at Fords now. Everything about my Dodge Ram 3500 exceeds all of the categories offered. I can''t consider a different make.

Overall a pretty good Truck.
I have the 3500 Ram (Single rear tires)
Bought it used had about 200,000 miles on it.
Being a Diesel mechanic my self, I rebuilt the 24 Valve Engine as it had dropped both exhaust valves on #2 cyl distroyed the Piston and Cyl head.
I replaced the Oil cooler, Turbo, all 7 new Injectors, Water pump, Oil pump, all belt idlers, belt and all hoses.
My only complaint is pretty poor fuel mileage compared to my Duramax and my F350.

How much?

Review

I bought this truck new. Has become our primary mode of transportation. At 13 years old still very dependable. 22 mpg average: more on a trip. 14 - 16 mph towing fifth wheel. The only things I would change: mine did not come with a rear anti-sway bar or passenger power seat. I has been a very solid truck. How many trucks from that era can tow 16,000 lbs and get 22-23 mpg when used as family transportation. The 5.9 diesel is the only way to go. I would not want a new one unless its another 5.9.
