No personal experience but I know a guy that had one and he loved it. If its an auto and you plan on doing any towing, make sure you install an extra tranny cooler. Keep the tranny fluid clean and flushed. My uncles friend owns Cottman transmission in Eastgate and he says Dodge keeps them in business.

I had a Ford V-10. I loved it. Great power and not horrible fuel mileage.

Yeah dodge never got the transmissions down great but from what i hear the one tons are less of a problem than half tons, hopefully.

I have a Ford with a V-10 gas motor and 3.73 gears it pulls 10,000 pounds pretty well as long as you have it weighted right. I think you will like the V-10 unless you tow alot for work. I have a few electrical gremlins in mine but it runs great. Congrats on a new truck.

what year? 1997-2003's are nice! plan on 8-13 mpg's but they haul more than any other gas truck I have seen well.
