It just kinda bugs me when I go on hilly roads the speed just drops, sometimes downshifting helps but doesnt always allow me lol maybe I'll learn to drive it better. My glasspack gave me a pretty decent gain, I could really feel the difference.

It seems that if one part goes you have to basically change everything to actually figure that one part out unless you know exactly what is wrong with it.
And the parts are not cheap, you spend a lot of money trying to figure things out for these trucks!!! Dodge could have done without all the sensors, a couple would have been fine, if they were easy to get to and change, and let's not get me started on the front lug-studs!!! Maybe what this Dodge needs is a HEARTBEAT!!!

i hate the reach for the cup holder and the smallness of it, and the hard to find 6 lug wheels. I also hate the fact that its done yet. But do love the truck all around.

I love my truck and how reliable it is and how my 3.9 is bulletproof, buttt, I hate how i have to crawl in the passenger side door because my lock linkage is broken i hate that they dont sell the rear window locks seperatly. I hate the lack of performance parts and the rarity of other parts, hate the price of tires, and ohh the lack of lift kits available. other than that my trucks great
