I keep reading the old " Ram is junk, they have weak transmissions" or " All Dodge is good for is blowing up transmissions" blah, blah.
I did some googling and I have read people actually having transmission replacements at 80,000Kms, but I can never find out what is the issue?
It seems to be more of a second generation diesel issue more than anything?
Do the third/fourth generation Rams have the issue fixed? What exactly IS the issue? I would assume poor maintenance and over stressing the truck with Mods or too much pulling for the size would be a culprit.
I know plenty of GM products that have blown up transmissions, more so than any Ford or Dodge, and that's from experience. Just curious as to what the issues are, and if my 2005 applies to them.
