Default Hate my truck

Dodge=JUNK! What a pile of crap. 22,000 miles now I'm leaking antifreeze all over the plus. Seriously, this has got to be the biggest pile of crap ever made. I wish I would have never purchased this truck as it has been nothing but a nightmare since I've owned it.

Blew the HG quite common and not that bad to fix. Id say take it to the dealer but you kinda already burned that bridge with the mods What else is going on with it?

a coolant leak gives you the idea that its the biggest POS ever made? dude, seriously? wheres it leakin from? it might just be a loose clamp, or an over torqued clamp that cut into the hose finally rubbed thru....and also, warranty coverage is at dealers discretion....mine has 95k on it and only been in the shop once for the egr valve being clogged...it had all the mods done to it then...they covered it under warranty...find you a good dealer, not a stealer.

Hey Cummins Control. The fact I have a coolant leak isn't the reason it's the biggest piece of crap ever. The reason it's such a piece is 22,000 mile and been in the shop 13 times. Does this sound like a reasonable amount of times for a $48,000 truck? Didn't think so! I have a right to my opinion and if I'm sick of having to spend money, that's my prerogative.

well, that being said.... go trade it in on a "real" truck like a ford.. not tryin to bein an a-hole....but theres always 1 that has probs...i dont care what year, make, model it is. i had an 04 and put 3 power steering pumps on it, and 3 drive shafts...2 of them cause of the crappy 2 piece design with a carrier bearing....that didnt make me holler and call it a POS...you know, there is a such thing called a lemon law if your not happy with it.

Sorry guys! Didn't mean to come off so strong on my post. I hope you understand I'm just frustrated with this truck. I believe it is the water pump and my dealer is going to fix it under warranty.

DUDE! I feel your pain . water pump on that thing takes all of 30 min. to replace. Dodge did mine once, and I've also replaced it once. If I could do it for a living, I would-easiest h20 pump ever.
Aside from the coolant leaks, how's that 6.7 run? More displacement = more air/fuel. does it rip, or what?
