Post 8000 is a 231,000 mile update. Need to change the oil next week. She is still plugging along!

This.... why would you buy another that'll more than likely have the same issue? Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

I'd test the batteries to start, strange things can happen if they're going. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

No crank? Or cranks without firing? Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

It also helped that Ram fired off multiple pre production demo trucks to tons of youtube channels. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Great question, I dropped the pickup off for a rebuild not long after that post. After the rebuild, it had a leak on the trans/xfer case gasket, so it had to go back for that to be fixed (I had to rent a pickup for a trip I took while it was waiting to go back in). I have put about 2000 miles on it since then, and it is working great with no leaks or other issues! Total cost $1900 (plus $600 for the Ram 2500 Limited rental that I put about 1600 miles on).

Sad update for 222,222 miles because I missed taking a picture of it. Truck is going in next week for some much needed attention. New water pump, oil pump (and $5 o-ring), gaskets (oil pan, timing cover, front main, valve covers). New exhaust manifold bolts and gaskets, flush power steering. Finally, new passenger side ball joints after 222k on the originals. I guess I'm planning on keeping it a while longer, haha. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

I didn't realize anyone was run off. In general, this forum is the most tame I've ever been on. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

That is a possibility, but the body will rust off well before then. To be honest, I regret taking such good care of the body. I now have a straight, swirl free body with no scratches that is rusting from all the spot welds anyway. Still a great pickup though. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

If you wheel, I would step up in rating in the stock size. Plenty of people run C range tires with good results. I run E and haven't had a flat in 120,000 miles so I'll be sticking with them..... Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Just over 220,000. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

4L60? I just got mine rebuilt for $1900, but it made it to 218k. Surprised yours died so quickly. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

I have seen a few pickups recently with "shortbed" campers in a longbed with transfer tank in front. It is interesting that the camper specials manufacturers used to make haven't really been reincarnated. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

To be fair, tons of vehicles have electric trunk releases that work just fine. Sure, most of them have manual backups. Having a button only seems like a solution looking for problems. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

As long as it hasn't been overheated, a partial refill should be fine. I did mine every 30-40k miles. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
