#194 of 198 Re: 2006 mega cab 2500 hemi [blue06mega] by stanoski Jun 23, 2009 (5:20 am)
Replying to: blue06mega (Jun 22, 2009 9:10 pm) I have an 07 RAM 1500 HEMI Laramie. Only had 2 minor problems since new (within the 1st month of ownership) and they were both something related to an idiot light sensor problem. First time they couldn't locate the problem, second time they found it and fixed it. They replaced a sensor part and nothing wrong since. Warrantee paid both times.   Had truck since Oct 2007 so 20K + miles of NO issues what-so-ever since. Sometimes, you just end up getting a "bad" one for what ever reason. Kind of like kids, you get what you get no matter what you hoped for.   Good luck on the truck!   Ski in TX

For those of you who have a 2500 with the Hemi, How do you like it? Would you purchase another? Is the Hemi enough engine for towing ~7000 lbs of tall camper into a stiff head wind?... I currently have a 96 ram 4X4 with the 5.9 gasser. I like the truck but it's not quite up to pulling this trailer. Heading into a stiff ~35mph wind the other day pulling the camper the truck could barely get up to 45mph in second gear. Decision, new truck time. Also, Between the Ram and GMC which gas truck be the better puller? I mulled the diesel but for cost of ownership (long term) I cant justify the higher up-front cost or down the road repair costs associated with diesels. Thanks for your replies, much better to get them from the people that own them instead of listening to the bull the salesman tries to feed ya.

Also, have to ask if improvements to the transmissions in these trucks were made for 08-09 model years? Seems like the trannys are the weakest link in these trucks, comes from personal experience and what Ive read in here. Thanks again!

Replying to: arvman (Jul 18, 2009 1:32 pm) Well, my '03 Cummins diesel Ram is still running just fine - only tranny trouble I ever had was a few years ago when the switch that completes the ignition circuit when the clutch pedal is pressed went out. I've never towed anything, but I took that truck cross country a few years ago and it's been nearly trouble free the entire time I've had it.
