Any problems with the redesigned motors yet? I would think not but you never know :)

Well, mine's only 6 weeks old and has 1700 miles on it, but so far so good. If it's anything like the other 3 Dodge/CTD trucks I've had, it will be fine.

No problems here. The engine has been great so far. The air filter monitor cracked at 2600 miles, but that was replaced.

Just about to turn 21,000 on mine. I had a driveshaft out of round when I bought it. Replaced under warranty. Other than that it's been flawless! Mine is a standard output with a 47RE automatic. It pulls our 10k plus 5th wheel very well but any heavier and the HO would be better.

Over 19,000 on it had to replace the old type alternator bracket, and get a reflash on the computer, marker light in the tailgate (dually thing) seal came undone.

that sums it up. It has been great so far.

Mine has been awesome. Almost 12,000 and getting better mileage everyday. 14-17 mpg around town, 19-23 on the highway. Mine is the HO/48RE. No problems, I love driving and towing with it. I really like the quiet. Has changed a lot of folks opinions about diesel trucks.

New member, first post. Had to laugh when I saw an option on the bottom of a page to ignore grayhackle. Hey guys, give me a chance. Anyway I lost a turn signal bulb 1 hour after delivery. After driving a 90 for 12 years, I am loving this ride. I will post a profile on the truck when I figure out how. It's just another new Dodge!:)

21k on mine now, no "major" problems yet. Just the usual stuff everyone has had to read about by now!

12,000 awesome miles. Only been back to the dealer once. Had them replace the turbo at about 500 miles. Found there was rust in the intake (like water was sitting in it at one time) Other than that... this is the best truck I have ever had. Gets better every time I drive it. :D Here is a pic of the replaced turbo. You can see the high water mark.
