dodge ram vs chevy silveraldo

Recommended Posts

I am looking to buy a truck. nothing super nice. what are peoples experiences with the dodge. I have heard bad things about the trannies in them. I would like a silveraldo but they seem to be hard to come by in my price range, locally. also, the trucks I am looking will have high miles. how do each hold up?

I think the whole dodge transmission thing is blown out of proportion, GM trannies go out quite a bit too, but that's just expected.

 

Personally, I own a 91 Silverado, and would probably be happier with a Ram. I'd be more inclined to say go with the best deal you come across.

Both will loose the transmissions eventually. The dodges centerlink , pitman , idler arm and ball joints wear out faster as do the hub bearings on the dodge. Both have strong engine but the gm has dexcool and intake issues.

 

I would rate them nearly equal but would pick a GMC SIERRA. A 5.3 ext cab 4x4.
