Jason, I'm sorry but I don't think anyone else is going to do the leg-work for you that you haven't done already. We're in a world now that everything is available with a click, you just have to gather it all up and put it in Lehman's Terms for your friend.

Cummins was not invented by Dodge, and if you want to have fun with him, tell him the Dodge truck is nothing more than a low quality shipping crate for the Cummins.... LOL :freak:

 

(Please, Dodge guys, I am only joking, and do not take offence to that.)

Now that is funny.

 

The Cummins is a powerful diesel capable of superb longevity. The Duramax is generally mated to an Allison tranny which IMO is better than anything Dodge bolted up to. Some of the NV gearboxes are stout, but they will grendade long before the Allison. If you look at the resale price of a Dodge diesel and a GM, GM always commands the higher price. The used car values are not dictated by the manufacturer but rather the markets perception of value. To me a perfect truck would be a GM chassis with a Cummins Engine, Allison tranny, and Ford differentials. The Duramax can do everything the Cummins does as far as I can tell, and do it just as long.

Thanks. I am not a fan of Cummins at all, but I must admit the late 90's 24valve HO mated to a six speed was one sweet sounding and pulling truck. Almost 2 different engines empty and loaded.

 

Other than that, DMAX for me all the way.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      When I was there, most to all did not have an hour meter. They just did 5000 miles on regular vehicles and 3000 on police stuff. The modern oil change monitors should take into account engine hours, weather, etc. I don`t use the monitor on my stuff. I pull the stick, look at it, smell it, rub it between my fingers, etc. That`s my oci.   I have had many engines. Some bracket race. No problems doing things my way. I was in the mechanic business for 30 yrs or so. I still do things the old school way. Don`t care who laughs at me.

      I don't know how far back vehicles had hour meters, be it driver accessible or diag accessible but was wondering if there was any rule of thumb your shop came up with in regards to an hour limit on engine oil regardless of the miles on the oil.    I know with construction or farm equipment its almost always based on engine hours for maintenance scheduling as no other metric really applies other than a seasonal time limit that one self imposes on items like engine oil.

      I'm not sure what to say on that mess but I will say that is an odd thing for that mechanic to speculate on as per assuming its been run out of oil a few times as the odds of that engine having instead piled up with a complete seizure would be very high if such events had actually taken place. However there is nothing saying that the oil has ever been changed although once again, what filter was on that engine as that would tell part of the story if its possible to figure out if its a factory installed filter or not. Too many items unknown and a lot of speculation, but regardless of that its one fubared mess that is mind boggling to see for a vehicle that new and its hard to imagine how it ever made it that far in life looking at the top of the engine.    His scanners, I've watched him before here and there and I'd have to say if I recall correctly that some of his scanning equipment is one or two steps up from a child's Exo Sketch 😋

      I agree. That`s a LOT of sludge for 12,000 miles. I tossed that out here since this is an OCI thread. There`s tons of people here that do not post.   I used to work on a city fleet. That includes police cars and fire trucks. Lesson is, not to only use the odo for oci. A police car has a ton of hours on the engine for the miles it shows. And, not just idling, directing traffic. They beat on these things.   Course, since it is a Kia, they were gonna use the "100,000 mile warranty" for their OCI.😉

      Manufactuer's Defect - Paint Failure - Cherry Red High Country 2021 Suburban

      By AlVeron · Posted

      CLASS ACTION SUITS?  Does anyone know if there is already a class action suit for the paint - which was to have been fixed, changed in after the 2020 GM vehicles?  Does it look like this?    Just started 3 weeks ago - No help from GM as of yet - Dealer will not assist in speaking with GM on my behalf. Confirmed it is the paint they use along with the way the put it on that causes it to fail.  Clearly a Manufacturer's Defect.
