never get a 94-01 slush box dodge, cause another one just bit the dust today on a friend of mines.

 

So since your buddies died there all junk? I'm sure plenty of Fords and Chevs have died. Good conculision, very educated and unbias

 

the 94, to 01 are a slush box. I have driven a 5.2L? Magnum the truck sucked huge. My V6 is more capable. had just under 50,000 and had major tranny problems, took it off roading one day with my bud hit a nice jump and when we came down lost contol of the truck was slding all over and the tranny mounts broke, and the tranny was latter to be repacled must have got a rock chip haha.

 

That has nothing to do with diesels. My dad had a 99 magnum and it was a tough truck (woods truck) , but I do agree with the tranny issues.

 

Dodge autos are junk. I just bought a stick to put in mine today.

 

There only 3 or 4 years old........

 

So...there was a 03 Cummins with 520k on ebay last week....wheres yours

 

there was a 03 6oh on there a week or two ago wiht 450k whats your point?

 

point is superdutyuntouchable implied there were none...im sure there are...theres trucks of every kind with that kind of mileage, just more of some than others

 

I don't know if I see the point in any of this. Today I got behind an almost brand new Dodge 3500 towing an empty flatbed gooseneck trailer, although it was probably heavy judging by the tandem axle dual wheels, my 86 Ford with a 460 of all things passed him on a 1.5 mile long mountain that all the locals use to judge and compare their trucks and left him behind. I was towing a stoll 20x7 cattle trailer with one cow in it so I would say the weight was about the same. I doubt very seriously the Dodge was letting me go, I know if I was in the Dodge I wouldn't dream of it. As fast as he was coming down the other side of the mountain I would say he was giving it all it had going up. My guess is the truck was stock but so is mine. Maybe it was the MegaCab slowing him down?

 

we have a 99 dodge magnum with 447 k miles on it,super truck, but we also have aearly 90's f150 with 787k miles with just a tranny rebuilt,will my 06 powerstroke last that long, doubt it, but thats bcz im an animal behind the wheel and im not stock.Dont bother me any though, something goes, something gets replaced with aftermarket! just like my HG blew the other day, my fault i was ******* the SH$(# outta it for a long period of time with a super race tune in, new hg and arp headstuds..now im good

 

ok then why are you saying my opinion is biaised when you said it urself? dodge automatics from 1994-01 are junk i can name over 20 people i know of with bad ones right now.

 

Because theres no reason still not to get one, that would be like saying don't buy a 6.0 powerstroke because so many have flown apart. Like I said earlier everything has its good and bad qualities. But personally I would rather ebuilt a tranny than an engine.

 

good reason to go with dodge diesel-rebuild tranny maybe but never engine

 

Never the engine??????? Why do you think they are called ***-a-parts?????
