Hmmm, I figured someone wold yell at me for that comment, instead, I get agreement. I must not be the only one who wants a Chevy-Cummins\CAT-Roadranger Pickup.

Well, that torque converter thing in the transmission slips when i push the skinny pedal next to the brake all the way down, and i get this awful black smoke too!
Really though:
1) The torque converter does slip, and it drives me nuts because unless i drop about $1,000 on an aftermarket TC, no more power can come.
2)That A-pillar is like the titanic! Its huge. Whoever said you could miss a mack truck because of that is not exagerating. I have 2 gauges on the pillar, and i think that its about the same as it was without the gauges.lol It must be a mile wide.
3)There is this automatic feature that makes my foot mash the go pedal when another brand of diesel tries to pass, and they cant get around
Overall, i love my truck though. Just a few little aggrovating things.lol

65+mph driveline vibration that's not motor because I can put it in neutral at 75mph and coast down through the vibration speed and it's there in full form.
That and people who blow their noses in restaurants.
I really like driving an auto when it shifts right. I hate driving one that doesn't.
Hate to disagree, one of the best things about my Cummins is it's bolted to a Dodge. We have several Mopars in our families. They've all been great! I like Fords and Chevys too. But Dodge's have character.

Dodges have charachter all right. Incorrigible. My 75 Power Wagon never failed to leave me stranded, never close to a phone. I've had this one for 2 1/2 months and it's spent 8 days in the shop so far. I'm currently avoiding taking it in for the door panel buzz, the weather seal around the door gettting rubbed to nothing, and a squeak in the springs in the rear end. Sounds like the bed in a cheap motel when I stop.

People that drive 20 mph under the speed limit, and, when you can finally pass they speed up. People that think that you can't see that finger up their nose at the red lights. People that throw things, particularly cigarette butts, out their windows. People that don't use turn signals. Oh, by the way, I love my truck!

2 small things, when I use the windshield washer the wipers wipe 2-3 times then stop in the middle of the windshield. I only have 30k on the truck so I need to get off my butt and get it to the dealer. The other is I like to rest my elbow on the the arm rest on the door and hold the wheel at the 8 o'clock position. The stupid arm rest squeaks and is very annoying. other than this I love the truck
