We have the 2006 5.9 and LOVE it! We are on our second dodge and loved both of them. The only issue that I have with dodge is...... THEY NEED TO MAKE A BIGGER HEAVIER BUILT BALL JOINT!!!!!! The front ends don't last, the dodge ball joint is the smallest one compared to ford and chevy.  |

The front ends don't last, the dodge ball joint is the smallest one compared to ford and chevy. The main issue on the dodge front end is that it is a straight axle not independent you get good and bad with the straight axle. Less moving parts tougher. Bad rougher riding and front end wears out faster |

Mrs dianna, go with the moog upper and lower ball joints. they are true life time warrenty and greasable. i had an 06 4x4 with the 5.9 and i went through 3 sets of tire rod ends, drag lin, pitman arms and 1 factory set of ball joints. the tire rod ends and drag links were moog and i bought the news, took them bck and got a refund on them, no questions ask at o'rilleys. when i lifted it, the drop down bracket for my sway bar was to thick for the carppy bolt that was sent with the kit and the factory bolt. i got a grade8 1/2" bolt, hammered it on with my impact and that took the death wabble out, stiffened my steering and made it a better ride. due to the slop in the sway bar bracket and the death wabble, i went through all the steering components, to include 8 factory steering stabilizers, and even put a dual steer stab kit on it.
if the rear end hadnt been goin to crap, i woulda kept it. i only had 3000 left to pay on it, now i got a 2012 1tn with the 6.7 and 6spd auto, but it gets the same crappy mileage that my lifted 5.9 did (14-16mpg).
any1 know any mods or programmers that are dealer authorized? the dealership said they would do a 6" lift, certain programmers, exhaust systems and cold kits and still keep my 100,000 pwrtrain and 75,000 bumper-bumper warrenty, as long as the dealer installed the items.

Nice truck Eric, some tires and wheels are going to make that ride look a lot better . I feel ya on the seat belt tone too, it is very annoying! I have owned a lot of different Dodge trucks over the years and my most recent is my favorite hands down. I bought a late 2011 3500 4x4 last november with the HO motor that come in the 2012. This motor has gobs of power and if I am just driving around I get 16mpg and towing I get 13. To me it just runs a lot better than my 08 6.7 did and it gets better mileage. |

Justin why would you even think about gettin rid of that truck r u crazy? Which one?? The grey quad cab?? .........because im an idiot!!!! That truck never gave me a single problem, i bought it with 16miles and sold it with 77,000 and had zero issues even with it sittin on 42's. It was a great truck but work was forcin me to drive out of state a good bit and a 1/2 ton on 42" military tires aint exactly comfortable on 12-16hr road trips lol. I still miss it, it was a blast to drive. |

Last I saw any trace of it, it was on autotrader being sold as a "one of a kind custom monster truck" lol, it was just a 6" 3" combo susp/body lift on the biggest tires I could tuck lol. And yes that was a 3 wheeler, honda big red to be exact, also one fun little buggy! |
