plus its a 2wd so you should def be able to get 18-20 at least if not more cruising on the highway.

 

You can always do what this guy did with his V-6

buy a cummins its my next purchace! ur truck will A: have ***** B: still get the milage C: blow smoke, well mine will...

 

thats pretty sweet looking thats one V6 that i would buy lol

 

If I had the v8 that would be great but it doesnt , im still satisified with it. Power wise it has a better power to weight ratio than what I have now so im not bothered by the 6 cylinder. Plus its only back and fourth from school for a full year.

Anyway.. since theres not many performance gains, are there any frequent problems with it?

 

if it has a limited slip make sure to change the fluid on time, it is a dodge transmition so enough said, and the upper ball joints only last about 70k but i do not know if it is a problem on the 03.

 

It doesnt have the LSD so im good there. It does however have at auto trans. So far so good with it, course it still relatively low mileage. I think the fluidneeds to be changed though. Im not sure how often its supposed to be but id say is past due or atleast soon. I wont be doing anyheavy towing with other than a 4 wheeler here and there tho so hopefully it will be good to me.

 

the tranny fluid is to be changed every 50k km's, i think 30,000 miles... about...

 

Well in that case its over 10k. Maybe I can get my mom to take care of that before I get it lol.

And about the upper ball joints, I read somewhere recently about a recall on that and I think its only on durangos and the dakotas with 4 wheel drive. EDIT: LOL As soon as I posted this and returned to the forum page I seen the post about that recall. So I read it on here apparently
