Thinking of buying a 2000 dodge ram Laramie 5.9 gas engine 410 gears auto and overdrive. Need to upgrade from my 1500 for towing. Are these good trucks. Any info good or bad would be greatly appreciated
Pulled a 68 Charger from Denver to Seattle with our 5.9 Durango, 3.91 gears out back. I know it's not a pickup, but that thing was an unstoppable beast until my brother drove it into a ditch.

If you get a chance... post a link to the programmer, thanks.Good truck but get a programmer. It also changes the trans shift points and helps prolong trans failure. That is the biggest problem with those trucks. The shift servos are set to conserve fuel with early shifts and slow down shifts.
The programmer acts like a part throttle kick down and the truck will hold the shift longer under a pull and also downshift with slight throttle pressure. Big difference.
My friend just installed one on his 02. I talked him into it and he is glad I did. There is so much you can do with it such as speedo calibration,Fuel ,and timing. Beat bang for the buck with these trucks

I have bully dogs in my Diesel's. My friend bought this one for his 360 gas. He is running a tank through so we can get the mileage. I will post it . His was 11mpg at best.Too bad they say it won't work on a 96.
Reviews say it's best for diesel.
