I think I'm done with Ram. I have a Ram 2500 diesel and really like the vehicle, the problem is my local dealer is a piece of work! I will never go to them again and this is the reason for my changing vehicles. I think it is about time I upgraded trucks. I've been wanting a 3500 and I'm looking at a Chevy with the duramax engine. I actually went to the dealer to look at a Ram 3500 while my 2500 was supposed to be in the shop, but the service writer got very smart with me and I just walked out.

There isn't another chrysler dealer in your area??
There is a dealer in town. BUT I detest that dealer, so I drove 45 miles, over an hour away and bought my Hemi. Even a small road trip can be good. But just IMHO .....

I had a durmax for a few years. It was a 2011 chevy 3500 dually, and that was when the DEF stuff was new, it screwed up and left me stranded up in Michigan while towing my RV once. At that time the truck only had 9000 miles too. Came home and traded that next week. Having had both I can honestly say the cummins pulls harder and better than my duramax, at least on my 12000lb RV. But I could do a chevy HD if the interiors of their trucks wasnt all black plastic.

Actually part of the reason we have two mopar vehicles is because of the local dealer who is great for service. And also super close. I hated having to drive 30 minutes to the Honda dealer and their service was so so and that drove us to get the pacifica instead. I get where the op is coming from and if you're rural the next nearest ram dealer may not be that close.
