SHOPPING for another low mileage RAM 2500:

What year Rams should we avoid?

I was hoping to get 200,000 miles out of our 2004.5 but
it is starting to nickel and dime us; ECM, Injectors, Fuel Pump, U-Joints, Ball
Joints, Bearings plus the usual batteries, muffler and so on.



When we were towing our RV; folks on the road used to tell
us not to upgrade due to the poor fuel mileage of the new RAM Diesels.

What year Rams should we avoid?

Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

Kamper

I went from an 2005 to a 2007 6.7 after they finally got the computer programed properly (I Bought used) they have been trouble free. Have about 84K on mine now. Around town unloaded 17.5 to 19.1 on the highway when towinf the fifth wheel I will get At 55 to 60 12 mpg faster than that I get around 10 Same as the 05. But this is a heavier truck is the Mega cab. At this time I would not be afraid on any of the newer trucks. You will love the EB, and I got mine with the bluetooth It really come in handy when backin up with Janet help. Before All I could see was arm signals taht changed with wind..Now She will say now go this wayOne of these day I will inturpet what she mean by this way
