Hi, I am new here so I apologize if this topic has been covered before. If so, please point me in the right direction.
I am wanting to buy a new used truck. My 2011 Ram has become a basket case of problems revolving around failing lifters and engine rebuilds. I use my truck to daily drive, haul car parts, tow my project car when I move, (with work I move on average once a year) and go to the beach. I have no plans to modify my truck, I just want it to be reliable and dependable.
Which leads me to the topic of discussion. What are the common failure points on these trucks? Example: on my Ram the lifters frequently fail and eat the camshaft. Replacing the components requires removal of the cylinder heads. Some things I can live with some I cannot. What things should I look for when buying used?
