10,000 mile review
Just tripped 10,000 miles the other day and her's a quick review.
First 10k in 131 days, didn't get the hours reading. Two checks of the milage show 16.4mpg. Changed the oil at 7500 miles.
NO PROBLEMS
This is one SWEET truck. The other day I had a 12' trailer on the back with 3-10x2' box roller, 2' high of hardware stacked on them with 8 dozen pots of plants on them. truck loaded with 2' also.
25 mile to the new house and this truck can pull!
On all the hills about a 1/3 of the way up I'd punch it. with a steady increase in mileage.
Not much of a review but one great truck

Sweeper,
Glad to hear you are enjoying your truck. Mine just turned 36,000 on the way to work this morning and all I can say is it just keeps getting better and better

I just lost my bumper to bumper warranty this week. The only thing that I needed it for was the P/S hose with the vibration damper. I can get 20MPG on 2 lane roads and 16 on the "I" at 70MPH plus. Not bad for a one ton 4.10 4 X 4. I too love my truck

I love this truck too... Just turned 10k and the truck runs and looks great! I am glad I bought the dodge and the mileage is good to 16 to 18 with 4.10 and 315/70/17 with owner with a heavy foot....

I just turned 16000 and no problems except pulls to the right.
I LOVE my truck.Had a 95-3500 and had several prblems. I
think it is quite a bit nicer truck than my old one.
