    Personally I wouldnt buy a dodge truck unless it was a 90's manual. Sure the cummins is a great motor but it has a shit trans behind it.

    See therin lies the problem. I dont know shit about diesels but I do know that I would need one to pull this toy hauler with any sort of power. My diesel experience is limited to my buddies dodge and I liked the way it drove the one time that I used it.

    Dodges DO look nice...but they will be the first to the mechanic for issues too.

    Any Diesel truck once you have problems get rid of em. The trannys are the only problems with dodges. I'd drive a dodge or a ford for diesels. I have several farmer buddies that have both with over 300k on both brands. I just like the look of the dodge more.

    Yeah, the more I think of it the more it just cant be done. Sure its a smoken deal for me, but it just doesnt make a lot of sense to unload my almost paid for Toy for a huge payment. Guess just gonna mob the Toy for years to come and keep on with my light wieght trailer and tent package :)

    Onto another topic, I havent gotten home yet, still in california but when I last drove the Taco I heard a metallic pop/click/clank noise in the front end when backing out of my driveway and again when i rolled about 50 feet down the road. happens both in the turned and straight wheel positions. Any ideas? From what I have read people said I need to check the torque on lower A arms or possible u joint or possible ball joint...and one answer was drive it till parts fall off, any ideas?

    This may sound odd, but check you're front bumper mounts. I swore up and down it had to be my lower arms, but turned out it was the bumper mounts.

    You are correct about the cummins being reliable. Problem is like all diesels, they require more maintenance than gas engines. They also require double the engine oil when changing. Diesel fuel also costs more.
    Not worth it to me. The trade for the toyhauler might be though. A Tundra 5.7 would pull that in style.
