Hoss50 Report post Posted September 15, 2014 Balljoints and steering parts are a known issue on these trucks. The trackbar bushings are pretty easy to replace especially if you have a blow torch and are only $20. That fixed about 90% of my steering wander & issues. I am going to do the steering box brace as well though. As for buying a Ford, no thanks. I did just have to do $3000 worth of injectors in my Dodge but my buddy just did $5000 worth of work to replace the top half of his 6.0L Ford. I'll take a Dodge Cummins with a stick shift trans over any other diesel any day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rageinthesage Report post Posted September 16, 2014 I had a power wagon and it had the DW, I honestly don't think there is a fix, there might be a temporary fix but from everything I've seen and researched if your truck has it, it will more than likely always have it no matter how much $ you spend trying to fix it. Although I've seen my bosses '06 stock cummins 4x4 with 250k miles and hasn't had one problem, go figure. I loved my power wagon and hated selling it but I felt it was unsafe and was afraid to even let my wife drive it fearing she may not be able to control it, so it had to let it go:( I will never buy another Dodge pick up again.

AZkiller Report post Posted September 16, 2014 The 6.0 is junk also. I have a 7.3, best diesel ever built. Never said dodge had a pos engine, the entire rest of the truck is garbage, the whole thing, all of it, junk. I cant afford a new truck but, the new chevy diesel is probably the best overall truck out there now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arizona Griz Report post Posted September 16, 2014 I'll take a Dodge Cummins with a stick shift trans over any other diesel any day. Exactly what I have. 2006 and never had an issue with it except for the speedometer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
