my dad has had dodge and ford, I have had a bunch of ford and chev, 150, 450, brothers ones a ford guy and one dodge, see a lot of issues, for example though all of the ones after 2000 have had the bearing issue, I have to fix my inlaws (older couple low mileage) 04 hemi that has had ALL the common issues 1k bcm, 1500 wiped cam, every fluid leaks, axle seals million times and when you have the bearing separate with no noise it takes out the brakes and brake brackets and axles so it was about 1k in just parts(chev is 120 and gives you a month notice), 4wd rarely works because the stupid cable freezes, know a ton of people that have had all those same issues, friends every one a half ton gas. most have gone to chev, when you see what to common issues are on chev its way less, the trans depends how you drive mine have allways gone to 200k, cluster is 100 to have it rebuilt exhaust gaskets are cheap too, I have no reason to buy something bigger than half ton. all the issues people complain about(all brands) have to take with a grain of salt, never had one ign issue or weird shift, people complain about the diffs too but I never had one go and I overload it a ton. the
I have one of them.
