I'll start... my 2006 has almost 87,000 miles on it, stock engine, all I ever have to do is put fuel in it and change the oil, and it gets 18-20 MPG all day every day. it's loud, shakes and vibrates at idle, is almost paid for and will be the first truck I've ever actually owned, and I want to keep it until the wheels fall off. the new trucks are mean looking, just for entertainment value I looked at what slightly used 2010s were selling for and

lovemytruck. that's all. 3rd gen Rams are the greatest trucks ever made. who's with me. only complaint is I feel like I'm working on a navy ship keeping the bumpers, axles, wheels painted with the PA road salt

 

Love mine, even though it sits in the garage most of the time now.

me too. Mine is paid for an I have no intention of replacing it anytime soon...

not too pretty, has a fair amount of dings and such... But has fresh tires and exhaust and is ready to roll for many more years...

Love mine too. I should have boght one many years ago - didn't know what I was missing.

So far, I'v had one trans issue fixed under warrenty. Otherwise I just drive it and do routine maint.

 

just recently i have been plagued with a abundance of issues. but all the issues are normal wear and tear. The past 4 months i have basicly replaced my entire front end (when i get my hubs done this weekend, it will be the entire front end) Other than that my exhaust brake blew the seam of my exhaust so i am in need of a new exhaust now.

But i have no intentions of replacing it, like i said, it has all been normal wear and tear items that have been failing. planning of keeping this thing until duct tape cant hold it together anymore.

 

Mine is the best vehicle I've ever owned, period. I wish it had a G56 and an exhaust brake, but at 210,000 miles it runs better than new. It has moved so much equipment around town and over the mountains, and gone on so many adventures, that I just could not be where I am today without it.

It would be fun to have a new one, but this truck will be with me for a long time to come. The thought of the new emissions equipment and reduced mileage, not to mention the initial cost, makes me like mine even more.

 

i love mine and dont plan on ever selling it, ive put about 175k on it. got it in feb 05 with 20k,plus it has a lot of sentimental value,it was my brothers and i got it when he died

 

Love the new style and interior, hate the smog crap and the $$$, is there a way to drop a '10 body/interior onto my '06 chassis? Mine will be MINE for in 10 months. 70k miles of fun so far.

 

I'm with you! I LOVE my 06. Just paid it off last week @38k miles. I have a feeling the body will rust out before the motor goes at this rate...

 

I am very pleased with mine as well. Still a little ways from being paid for, but I am looking to speed that up, then I can turn the payment money into mod money. In fact my only gripe is that they do not come from the factory with a complete set of gauges.

I lucked into my early 04 by chance and could not be happier. I really enjoy learning about diesels (mine in particular) and a lot of that learning takes place at DTR. In fact, just about everything I know about my truck has originated from the many thousands of posts on this website.

 

I love my 06 and in just a hair over one yrear it will be paid for. The money will then go to more mods when I found this truck I told the wife it is the last truck I am going to buy. I am 100% happy with it but like said above, some factory gauges would have been nice!

 

Plan on giving my 11 year old son my '06 when he turns 16 in 5 years. Then I'll look at getting something new again.

 

I LOVE my 06, would not trade it for a new truck or get rid of it for anything else. Runs better every day I own it and drive it.

I believe they are called gliders... you can order a truck with no motor/tranny/ etc.



I have way too much wrapped up in aftermarket... can't get rid of it now. I still have a lot I want to do with it. In the next year or so, it's probably not going to be my daily driver anymore.

 

Love mine. The best feature is that ti is paid for in full for a year now. Now I'm in the process of putting studs, injectors and a turbo on it so it will be good to go for another couple years without any issues.
