I got a 92 diesel 4x4 w 350 and i wouldn't trade it for a new girlfriend...(better think about that one some more) It gets 20-24 mpg and will do 105 flat out and run all day at 80-85 with no problem.I've Zeibarted the truck and kept up with the maintenance and at 151000 put new leafs in the frnt springs and installed adjustable lower joints for caster. Brakes are always a problem with these trucks so I went to Raybestos pads and shoes all the way around and Monroe shocks because of the lifetime warr.Paint isn't worth a damn so i've had it painted Maaco $300 twice. Heater fan switch goes once a year and dash squeaks in cold weather. Steering link went loose I lost a rear u-joint. Front axel u-joints went because of non use and age of seals other than that I love the damn thing-starts everyday and works everyday best truck i've ever owned.Dodge dealer service blows big time but I don't go there anymore. All my work is done by locals or myself now.
