[QUOTE="sjeffery, post: 393996, member: 6480"] I am on my second Dodge Ram at this point (1998 1500 4x4, 87,000 miles). The previous owner (my father) babied the thing. It had to tow a trailer once in its life. All service was done at the dealership and all maintinence schedules were followed. At 81,000 miles the transmission blew with no warning. From what I can tell, bad transmissions are relatively common with the Ram series. I'm not saying that it is a bad vehicle, only that you need to keep it in mind. The only other common issue with the Ram that I know of is a high failure rate for the cats. There was a DoJ settlement (not a recall, so most dealers will not acknowledge it) where most of them will be replaced for free. You would have to do a search to see if yours is/was covered. [/QUOTE]
