Thumbs up

Had the CP3 replaced under warranty for leaking and yanked out the reciculating door myself, 78000 miles and going strong.

20K on mine with no problems... use only to drag RV and car trailer. CTD is rock solid and pulls ... but the Dodge seats suck - anything will leave a stain and that means anything, including water. Also poor cushion for long hauls. Frustrating that Dodge put so little thought into seats. Tip: Order Fleetguard fuel filters and change yourself rather than getting ripped off at dealer. Adding a Jake to an '06 with auto tranny is an expensive add on, but worth it. Were it not for the crappy seats, I'd be 100% with this truck.

Here's the text of the TSB: http://dodgeram.info/tsb/2007/21-009-07.htm

Basically, they replaced a pressure sensor and pressure solenoid.

I love my 06, no issues, but only 20K, but highly modded. I am at a conference now and can't wait to get home to drive it again. Also my first Dodge, and so far the best and favorite truck I've ever had. Also hope I didn't jinx myself too. First new truck I've ever bought too. I don't go to dealer,since I obviously have no warranty with mods. Only went on beginning for some kind of reflash? that I don't think I even needed.

i'd want to start the truck when it's cold (been sitting overnight), and see if there's any hard starting, stumble, or white smoke- known injector issues. is this truck from a dealer, or is there any warranty left to transfer?

this truck only has 39k on it and is for a low price at a gm dealer so i'm a little curuios about it they only want 24,8 for it and its loaded even has leather. I have had plenty of ctd and iknow the motor cant tow with anything else but it but since my 07 problems i'm just a little nervous about them newer ones. its got the g56 with the lower overdrive ratio i believe i just hope it will still hold up like my 03 when it starts to get the crap worked out of it . thanks for the responses
