will there be a Glove Box light for 2027? Has any designer / Engineer actually sat in the trucks in total darkness with only the interior light on? Hope so. Cause it is very clear they did not for the last generation. (2022.5 - 2026) Those years are so dark inside.
I would take it to a very able mechanic/technician that you trust and have them plug a good reader into it, as well as evaluate it front to back, top to bottom. Check Carfax. Neither is a guarantee but it would be good to learn everything you can about its prior life.
Also, for that amount of money you can probably buy new, and if possible pick up an extended warranty. Then you'll be warranteed for several years and/or many miles.
Hey gang,
I’m in the market for a 2022.5-and-up 1500. My budget is $48k–$50k max.
I’ve been doing a lot of reading on the 5.3L DFM issues, and I want to make sure I don't buy a truck with pre-existing lifter damage. My plan is to plug in a DFM disabler the day I bring it home to help mitigate future issues. I know a plug-in disabler doesn't change the physical lifters, but I'm just looking for maximum preventative insurance.
Besides the obvious lifter ticking on a cold start, what other warning signs should I be looking or listening for during a test drive?
Are extended warranties worth it for an issue like this? This will be the most I've spent on a vehicle, so I want it to be worth it!
I appreciate any advice or insight!
I'd be interested to hear from a real user too. There are so many things the built-in screen does that I am sure they won't tell you if they break anything. Like trailering, for example. When you hit the turn signal with a trailer attached, my 2021 shows me a side view that is as good as an extended towing mirror. I would not want to give that up. Sure, the factory screen is diminutive by 2026 standards, but giving up functions like that would be a dealbreaker.
