Obviously I was given some wrong information. I stand corrected. Thanks. I'll stand by my assertion though that Dodge Diesel engines have a great reputation for longevety and service. Hard to find them used, (as compared to gas engines), and that in itself is an indication of their desirability. In all cases, since we now know it's a Hemi, it's a moot point.

The trans behind the 4.7L and HEMI is not an issue what so ever CTT. The DODGE trans issues was with the 4 speed OD trans from the late 80's to about 03. The 45RFE and 545 RFE that comes behind the 3.7L, 4.7L, and HEMI is a whole new design of trans without the old trans issues and the OD unit seals blowing out. I would also question him about it having a brake actuator and only towing jet skis. The milage wouldn't worry me, but his price seems to be around the middle to upper end I think.

you guys have to understand that around here thats a pretty good price. kelly bluebook wants $11,800. for fair condition. this thing has its dings and pings but i'm not gonna baby this baby. its gonna get its a$$ kicked. i know theres more of a market in florida and trucks are more readily available but i've been doing quite a bit of research and this truck for this price is a keeper. i just wanted to know if anybody knew anything about this tranny issue i heard about from more than one person.
hey maco, if i do buy this truck i think my first road trip is gonna be up to monkeys a$$, massachusetts to kick your a$$!

Like I said, I wouldn't worry about the trans if it was me. My DAKOTA I had used the same trans in it, and I wasn't worried in the slightest about it. The trans behind the 3.9L, 5.2L, and the 5.9L was a COMPLETELY different trans that did have issues with lasting past 60-70K miles. Most of the newer ones seem to go well into the 125K+ range from what I have seen of them. Some have failed, but they normally fail around 30K or so if there is an issue with them.
