My cab and chassis had a birthday yesterday and is now 2 yrs old. It now has over 177,000 miles on it and is still going strong. I've posted any and all problems I've had on the board, so I won't go back over them. All in all for the type of work I do, (oilfield hotshot w/ 40 ft gooseneck) it is pretty much a perfect truck. Decent mileage, plenty of power, great transmission and a good ride with the long wheelbase. I am happy with it and would definitely buy it again.

any thoughts on bumping up to a 4500/5500 with the next purchase (assuming Dodge is still around for your next purchase) ?

I don't know. There are some advantages, bigger tires, wheels, and brakes plus different rear end gears and a higher gross wt. There are also some disadvantages. Less fuel mileage, rougher ride, and a 72 mph top speed. On some of the two lane roads, that lower top speed could scare you to death when trying to pass. I hope I'm a long way from even thinking about getting another truck.
