from my experience with dodge, ford, chevy & toyota, they all have their issues, and honestly, over the long haul, none is worse then the other.
But I'd buy another dodge over ford/chevy/toyota.

i voted yes, only because neutral was not an option. i really dont know if i would buy another dodge or not. so far i have liked the fit and finish of the truck. however i also have only owned it for a month. unless dodge drops cummins (i doubt that will happen) i may buy another dodge.

At my house we have a 92 diesel (mine), 94 caravan, 96 ram 1500, and they all have over 100,000 miles and have had no trouble what so ever
You bet I will buy another what ever keeps me away from ford

I think the results are going to be biased due to the placement of the poll (pretty slated group), but I'd buy another 12 valve right now if this one got wrecked/stolen.
I went in looking to buy a used diesel truck between $6-15K to run on wvo. After doing (literally) months of research, it had to be a CTD dodge. I wanted a manual but this one was to good of a deal. Between the (considering) great mileage and the sheer ease it towes with, I couldn't be happier.

I'm sure it will, but I have a theory that I'll post at the end of this poll, if everyone will behave themselves and not get it locked. It's not revolutionary or anything, just something I happened to think of the other day.

I'd always get another Dodge, whether it was gas or diesel. My current Dodge is at least as dependable as my old Ford, and far more than my old Chev. Working on all of them daily, I see problems with all of them, and I think I'm getting off easy.

I have owned Ford, Chevy, and now Dodge. This was my first Dodge and my first Diesel. I haven't had any real trouble with any of the 3. But no doubt I would buy another Cummins powered Dodge again!

Were it not for the Cummins engine and an entirely non-Chrysler drivetrain, I would have never bought a Dodge in the first place. I would buy another Dodge with a CTD and an entirely, or at least mostly, non-Chrysler drivetrain.

. There is nothing on the trucks that is made by dodge thats not junk for the most part
(bet that gets some mopar people bent out of shape). Just remember that about the only thing made by Dodge is the body and electrical
and what are the two biggest probs with all these trucks? You guessed it.

It's just an old habit
I had an El Camino and a Ranger. Soon after I became the proud owner of a primer gray 1980 Dodge 4x4 with a 318. It burnt oil like crazy and I darn near ran it dry a few times. It would ping and knock like crazy, but I'd fill it back up with oil and it wouldn't die. My buddy bought a 67 Bellvedere with a slant 6 with the intention of putting a 383 in it soon after. With a couple of othe (T)opar buddies trailing, we drained the radiator, and drove it from Sacramento to Modesto (about 70 miles). It made it home with out being destroyed or even warping the head. He decided to never change the motor. Other than a few problems here and there, I've been happy with all 6 (T)opars I've bought.

Came over from GM for a 2001 CTD. Never really liked the "Dodge" but the motors I knew were proven. That was about 2 years ago. I now have a '98 and a '06 and the '01 (only 'cause it hasen't sold yet). I'm having the same issues as I did with the GM trucks (SERVICE SUCKS)but the trucks themselves are very nice/fun to drive.

Hate the Dodge part, love the Cummins/NewVenture/AAM part.
Overall yes, I would but another. Of course, If Ford was still putting in a 7.3 PowerStroke instead of a 6.0 or 6.4, I would get a Ford over the Dodge.

I would buy another Cummins powered Dodge. My 03 had a engine/tranny. The only issues I had were ujoints at ~45k, ac condensor replaced after a few months, and the rattles before 50k I don't think it should have had. My Tundra at 100k had less interior issues, but I love the Cummins. the 94 I just got needs a little work, but it has 223k on it and still runs great.
