Dodge-Nissan collaborating on Pickups?

They ARE NOT JUNK when used for what they were built to do, NOT for a hardcore rock crawler. But if only the weekend warriors who try to compete with the hard core crawl rigs would realize that......

The do an awesome job crawling thru' 3 feet of snow no problem!!

Yep, I agree. they're not made for rock crawling and they are not junk at all.

I see them used at diesel truck pulls all the time with 700HP+ in front of them. They seem to hold fine and they sure blow away the Ford & Dodge rears in traction!

Actually, I pull with my truck and have seen one give up. So they are junk on occasion.

I'd still rather have a G-80 11.5" true locker instead of a Ford 10.5" pathetic limited slip or Dodge's version of the AAM 11.5" rear.

Even if you saw one blow up at a truck pull......

I mean even the best breaks once in a while.

I've seen them all break. I've owned them all too, I am not blinded by brand loyalty, IMO that's a wast of time.

I want my stuff to be reliable, and fairly easy for someone like me to work on

I have had to repair a busted diff in a 7500 kodiac dump truck, everything breaks and 9 times out of 10 is operator error. lack of maintenace and shock
loading tears stuff up no matter who makes it !!!!

Sterling has Chrysler making 1 ton trucks for them presently. I saw one at farm technology days. 100% Dodge cab, cummings power, and their own grille / logos produced at the Canada Dodge truck plant. They wanted a small series truck to get better name recognition in the larger truck series. Personally I wouldn't buy one if the had gold name plates...... A dodge is still a dodge. You buy it ( gas versions ) and you own it for life. They were offering 13k off list on the gas trucks and I bet that didn't cause a rush to the showroom. Lets not forget about the 2.99 gas credit.

It is kinda funny how a lot of the Dodge guys will call their truck a
"cummin(g)s" and not a "Dodge".

The 5.9L Cummins is my favorite light truck diesel, but it seems most of their owners are very proud of the other 2,000 parts on the truck made by Dodge.

had a newer cummins on the drive the other day, i was amazedhow i could hear myself think when standing next to it, they have come along ways.

We have many with over 400K on their old dodges, they might rust out but they never let you down. Mine's a 98.5 and it's just a baby with 118K on it.
