A/C freezing up/ they said it was low on charge @ 30,000. I'm pretty sure this is a common problem w/ these trucks so I will live w/ it. No other problems.

In 10,400 miles on my 05, I had reverse lights go out on 6spd and a speed sensor goe bad which caused my abs light to stay on. Still waiting on parts. Other than that, everything has been awesome.

No repairs yet but planning on having some TSB's done when I do bring it in. I currently have 9000 miles on 2005 QC SWB Auto.

Upper Door seals, 1 gone bad but not really bad.
Lower Door Seals, not bad but gets dirty, I hear TSB for that.
High Idle settings, I haven't done the TSB for the Cruise Control feature


I usually try to do my own maint on the truck.

Love the truck so far.

2 for me.. both dealer warrenty items.... one map sensor as dodge calls it [i call it intake air temp sensor, the one on the airbox???] and a fan clutch [i hadn't noticed any problems with it but there was a code and they did it at the same time as the map sensor]

24,xxx kilometers on it

42,000 km on the board and replaced one injector and one lift pump (just last week)

This truck hauls, tows and pushes snow without complaint!

I've had 1 control arm, pretty much the entire AC system, and the TSB's for door seal and white smoke done. I've been putting off getting a new door seal for a while, got that little shudder when taking off, and still have the annoying squeak under the truck that the control arm was supposed to fix.

35,000 miles, occasional pulling a 3 horse slant load trailer. I've had ZERO problems with this truck, haven't been back to the dealer since I signed the papers.

All I've done is change fluids & filters -OOPS - I need to change the tranny fluid. Lucky my brother-in-law owns a tranny shop. Also, did I mention one of my nephews works at the Cummins dealer in Louisville??

TSB for poor mileage which helped slightly.

Parking brake light stayed on with parking brake released. Switch contact fell out. Self-repair.

2004.5 11,000 miles

50,000 miles. Alignment went bad early on, was fixed and hasn't gone bad since. Weather stripping TSB, ECM flash, that's been it.
