why is this person even here at the DODGEFORUM why don't you goto a fix or repair daily forum or something like that.</P>

 

He is just trying to start stuff with people that can go to where he is and put him and the Ferd crap in their places.

Just let him be, if he wants to act like the rest of Fords customers let him. Just sit back and enjoy the laugh!

 

Lets see. What company's engine did ford use to power their first vehicles back in the early 1900's. Chrysler thats who.

I dont own a Ram but my dad has an 02 ram 1500 with the 4.7, and i got stuck with his 96 s10.<edited><editID>Spyder</editID><editDate>37957.6496412037</editDate></edited>

 

actually my dodge was well taken care of. oil was shell rotella 15w40 with wix filter changed every 5000, fuel filter every 15,000, the tranny every 50,000 and the rear ends every 40,000. truck was super clean and never rode hard it ran great until 100,000 miles then it just all came at once. and to the comment about the fix or repair daily forums they dont have and because you dont have that problem. i will admit every make has their lemons and i probally had one but my dad has a dodge with a cummins and its a bit weak but funs great with no problems but when it hits a hill you can forget getting over 40mph and its a 24v.</P>

 

But Cummins aren't built for speed... they are built to tow and haul... I hope you have a better experience with Dodge in the future!! Ever consider trying another sometime?

after what i went though with my last one it will take a very long time to consider having another one. </P>

 

well what people have had to go through with FORD, so I've heard,they may never go back.

 

I have an '03 Ram 1500 SLT. It's a regular cab, short bed, and 2x4. It's got the 4.7L V-8 in it - pretty quick but it's no HEMI or Lightning. It is silver with the 17" rims and tan interior. The truck is bone stock. My dad has an '03 Ram 1500 SLT Sport. It also is regular cab, short bed, and 2x4, but hes got the HEMI and 20" rims. His truck is gunmetal with black interior. The HEMI is pretty much stock except for dual 4" chrome exhaust tips and a chrome Dodge hitch plug. The exhaust system put it from 345HP to 360HP. You can hear the thing from a mile away it's really neat. Personally I think the Sport package looks better becuase of the body-colored bumpers and grille. We are interested in sending the HEMI to Performance West Group and having it turned into a Rumble Bee, but we havn't heard how much that will cost yet. We are getting rid of my Ram and getting the SRT-10 in January. </P>


Hey bluemoose89, I had problems with my Ram too but not nearly as bad. I was on my way home from a friend's and the engine temp went above the red line and it started steaming. I stopped to check it and I couldn't see anything wrong. WhenI started it up it clanked and sounded almost like a diesel, I made it about 2 miles further and it slipped out of gear so it was acting like it was in neutral when it was still in drive. The the power went out and the engine shut off. I managed to get it in a parking lot about a mile from my house and got it started-this time worse sounding. I got 2 streets from my house and it completely died. This time whenI checked under the hood the coolant had splattered out all over the place. It ended up in the shop for 2 weeks. The same thing happened to my neighbor's Durango twice. </P><edited><editID>vHiEpMeIr</editID><editDate>37962.1608101852</editDate></edited>
