Replying to: pb2 (Jul 22, 2004 10:48 pm) PB,   After '98 all Dodge auto transmissions received changes that addressed marginal lubrication issues under extreme temperature conditions, as well as a new designed solenoid shift pack and more reliable electrical connectors in the transmission circuit. Still the vast majority of Dodge truck owners DID NOT experience premature problems or failures. I've seen many go 150,000 miles and more and never been touched. There is another problem that doesn't show up in the statistics: using Dexron-Mercon ATF in a Dodge will cause a number of performance problems and eventual failure. Unfortunately, Dexron-Mercon was used in a large number of these reported "failure" cases.   I ran the following type of truck in through the Kelly online book:   1999 1/2 ton chassis Club or Extended Cab small V8 auto transmission 4x4 top trim line 60,000 miles good condition air, PS, PB, PW, PDL, tilt, cruise, AM/FM/Cassette/CD, dual front air bags, sliding rear window, towing pkg, premium wheels   Here is are the Kelly trade-in values for my area (northeast):   Chevrolet - 11,150 Dodge - 9,540 Ford - 10,425   In 1999 the F150 Lariat cost approx. $1600 more than the Dodge SLT   In 1999 the Chevrolet cost approx. $3100 more than the Dodge SLT   In real terms, all other things being equal, the Dodge retained its value better.   Regards, Dusty

#129 of 393 Auto or manual? by densher Jul 26, 2004 (3:26 am)
I am considering an o4 Ram 2500 Diesel. Would the 6 spd manual would be better than the automatic tranny? I think the Jake Brake can only be installed on the manual. Any opinions? Replies to this message: dustyk (Jul 26, 2004 2:49 pm)

Replying to: densher (Jul 26, 2004 3:26 am) Den,   I'm sure a jake-brake can be installed on an automatic version, it just wouldn't be very effective since on decceleration there is so much uncoupling in the drive line.   For a lot of reasons a manual six-speed makes more sense on a diesel light-duty pick-up, especially if one makes the assumption that the truck's use will justify the cost-up of the diesel package. A manual allows better maximization of the power and torque of the engine, as well as the economy and reliability potential.   Interesting to note, though, that the six-speed New Venture manual is heavier than the automatic transmissions.   Best regards, Dusty

Does anyone know when the 2005 Dodge Ram pricing comes out? Are there any insights to improvements from the 04's?
#132 of 393 by kcram HOST Aug 08, 2004 (12:33 pm)
2005 pricing will be released to the public in a week or two. Only real changes to the 05s are trim specs and the new power moonroof. New "models" are the Quad Cab version of the SRT-10 and the Power Wagon 4x4.   kcram Host Smart Shopper and Wagons Message Boards
