Being that I need more power for uphill pulls, I am probably going to locate a Duramax turbo diesel.
The dodge has been good, but time to move on.
I will keep you all posted. You all have been great here and thanks for all the help.

To be continued...

 

Don't let them swindle you! And get a Cummins.

 

+1 on the cummins... good luck to ya

 

I know alot of people who have owned both dmax's and cummins and they all have said cummins is far superior.

 

I would just get a Sct Tuner and regear , it will be good to climb hills plus its cheaper

 

Ok. after looking a little today, I keep coming back to the
dodge.
I also getting spooked by the price of diesels. I am leaning toward 2500 HEMI's now.
I do not want to underrate my TV because maybe I will upgrade trailer in future.
Is there any problematic years?

 

You looking to get a manual or auto?

 

03 is the bad year for hemis being the first year , a lot of valve problems

 

Just remember to run a minimum of 89 octane in a Hemi or you will end up in the position my old man is in with number 4 and 6 pistons melted

 

you may want to look around the 3rd gen section. from what i have read they tend to have a lot of front end failures due to non serviceable parts being used. if you do buy one you may be looking are replacing all tie rods and ball joints if it is not covered by a recall.
