Have been a Dodge fan for a long long time. Had one of the first models with the Cummings engine. Only problem I have ever had was the linkage for the foot pedal for the fuel. Fixed it with dental floss to get the next 40 or so miles where I was able to pick up a new one and install in about 20 minutes.
They did have tranny problems (automatics) early on but seems alot of that was due to excessive load and / or trying to accelerate 0-60 in 100yrds with a load.
After a few years without a truck when I got the 06 one of the things I looked into was how much of a problem this still was. Dodge of course says it is not a problem, but some of the other forums and talking with individuals who seemed to know the problems still exist under the above conditions. If you are going to overload and / or gun it off the line you could still expect to have a problem. Reasonable driving habits should serve you well with the Dodge.
