I have an 07' 5.9L, Original Owner, 100K miles, Big Turbo, Decent Chip, Big Tires and some other junk, I Drive my Truck like a Truck, have 800 to 1000 lbs in the bed at any given time, I drive muddy, rutty, two track dirt roads daily, and haul an 11,000 pound boat (through the mountains) occasionally. I aint never had a lick of trouble with my Transmission or My front end The Truck is in the shop religiously every 3k miles for scheduled maintance, (oil change, Rotate tires, fluid checks, ect) Parts are going to wear out, trannys are going to break, and engines are one day going to just quit running no matter which make of truck you go with. Just follow some propper maintnance schedules and take care of your truck and it will bring you many years of honest reliable driveing.

If you're looking for a Mega Cab I would get an '06 with the 5.9. I dont like Dodge'es autos so I always say get a manual. Thats all i have ever driven in my Dodges. I like my truck to feel like truck and row through the gears. Id rather put a good clutch and not have to worry about it again. Every Dodge has its issues but every truck brand does. The most bullet proof one is a 12v. The nice thing about the Dodges is that any problem has already been identified and there is an easy fix for them all. The great thing about the Cummins is that every motor has parts from the last. Its not like Ford where they change the motor every year with something completely different from the last. A 12V part could bolt to a CR or even the 6.7 and vice versa. I have 6.7 parts on my 24v. I love my Cummins and I will drive them both til I die.
