Fuel economy takes a hit being that it's a 5.2L, but even for that engine, after some basic mods, the mileage isn't too bad. Very powerful, 4x4 will get you out of anywhere, handling is sturdy and takes bumps and holes no problem. Definitely recommend this truck to other Dodge lovers, the "older" styles are the more solid built of the Dodge's.

This Truck has lots and lots of power. I Have never toped this truck i have had it 120 plus... The disadvantages about this Truck is that it likes to suck the gas. I put 75 Dollars in gas and i can go to Lonoke and back and us half a tank of gas.

this truck was outstanding till I came up on 100k miles. Well, the dash cracked at like 40k but so did all of them. I hit 100k and the ECM fried on me and took the alternator and engine harness with it. so $2400 later and about 4 months the ECM burns up again. I got it replaced for free this time. Then a few months after that the rear diff decides its gonna eat itself on my way back from Amarillo. By the time I got the rear cover off there really was no teeth on the ring gear and the pinion was a nub. Huge chunks of metal came out. That cost me around 1300 to replace since I needed to get a whole new unit. Acording to Dodge, around 15% of the ECMs that they used for all of there vehicles in the mid to late 90s and up to 2001 had problems burning up and as for the rear end, it was a bad bearing that they knew was made incorrectlly but lasted longer than the 36k miles thus relieving them of the warrenty issue and having to fit the bill to fix. The contract with that bearing manufacturer ended in 2001 and so late model 2002 trucks have the newly designed bearing in the rear end.

i have owned around 15 differant trucks but they dont compare to the one i have now with the ram you get alot more for your money and i wouln't trade it for anything.

its a badazz truck. Had a few problems with it though. I've owned it for 3 years and have put 12K miles on it. I have so far replaced...3 rear U-joints, brakes and rotors, 2 O2 sensors, brake lines, 4 tires, ECM. and other regular maint. stuff. Truck drives fabulous but is a money pit. Is my first chyrsler product and most likely my last. Overall the truck will do anything you want it to..but be prepared to pay for it.
