Dodge & Cummins have had about 4 years advanced warning of the new emissions regs ... the "1st year model with emissions" excuse has worn too thin. Four years is more than enought time to design and test ... but obviously the time was not well spend by either company. Once again the customer is left holding the bag it appears and only hurts Dodge/Cummins in the end.

I am seriously considering trading in my 04.5 which has left me stranded in the past 75k to an '08 with the 6.7L for the mere fact that I have no warranty left and now the expensive stuff is starting to break.

That is a bummer but I think as already mentioned, they are all having issues. I want a new truck so bad, but it isn't happening. As a matter of fact, I am going to start looking for a spare 305 motor when I get back from Iraq for the one I have now just incase something eventually happens to this one.
Hope it all works out for your friend.

I don't believe recurring manufacturer engineering issues should always be dismissed to "they all have problems".
I hate to say it but my wife's Toyota Tacomas never had any problems over the years running all over our rugged back country ranch. With every new product launch it's impressive how dependable and trouble free their vehicles are.
As for the dealerships, I believe it comes down to who actually works on the truck. When I find a good tech, I surely remember him at Christmas.

Yeah, yeah yeah!!!
Just turned 68k on my girly man grocery getter poorly designed Dodge Ram with it's fake Hemi engine and other than a condenser fan that I replace myself, it has been 100% trouble free. Not even a hint of trouble. Hasn't seen the dealership since I bought it 2.5yrs ago. It's not a Dodn't problem. I really don't think it's a Cummins problem either. I firmly believe it's a LSD fuel, cheap fuel, dad always used leftover heating oil so I do too, fuel additives that aren't needed but I just gotta do something, too much idling because big rigs idle a lot even though Cummins recommends they don't idle for long periods of time either, it's a cruiser that never sees a load but compensates for my small man syndrome, I only drive three miles to work so I need a truck that will last a million miles... I bet if a guy bought one and used it for it's intended purpose, fed it the required fuel and oils and, left out the snake oil and gimmicks, it would be fine.
Sorry, just got torqued about the cheap Dodge, precious Honda post.
