Heck, Even when I haven't had a CTD I've had a gasser 1st gen. Nothing but trouble with the 2 GMCs I've owned.

None of my Dodge trucks have ever let me down. They have all been great to me.

Beside my only other options would be.... well there aren't other options, lol.

Ahh...I thought it was the other meaning of FTW... was wondering why I had seen that posted a bunch lately...

Id drive Dodge even if it didnt have a Cummins. Of course Im extremely glad Cummins is sittin under the hood, but Im diehard Mopar...hands down the best muscle cars (really, what did other manufacturers have that even compared?? NOTHIN!!) and the best trucks IMO.

Lucky Choice

I was looking for a 4x4, 4 dr p/u but it had to be a stick. I learned to drive at 10 yrs old on an International Harvester p/u with a V8 and 3-sp on the tree and I've never gotten over having a stick if I could help it. (The Caddy CTS with a 6-sp stick makes me drool.) Anyway, GM and Ford made it really hard to get a stick in 2005, but nearly every Dodge dealer had a stick or two. I liked the 1500 and V8 Dakota, both with the 6-sp. However, they didn't have ABS with the stick. The RAM 2500 did.

Eventually, I settled on a 2500 HEMI laid out the way I wanted. When the Employee Pricing started it made the CTD pretty cheap. I decided that I could either buy the diesel or wait until the pricing program ended and spend the same bucks on a HEMI. No brainer- $32000 + T&T for the one in sig block.

Cummins was a big reason, but I do like Dodge as well.... I had a Dakota before. When I was looking, Dodge was most willing to deal and they had lower prices to begin with - made my choice kind of easy.
