As an idiot who's owned three Dodges before I learned my lesson, GOOD LUCK!

Apparently you haven't been on the goat forum. They have many issues. Anyway, adiós bud ?️

Talk about putting words in my mouth ? I didn't say "all GM trucks are perfect and have absolutely zero issues."  Speak for yourself.   I CAN speak for myself when I say I gave Dodge wa

Running a fleet of Fords now....problem free since 2015.  I'll probably lose an engine now... ?

We got 2 ford E350 box trucks in our fleet, been damn good since 2015 as well. Heck we just did it's first spark plug change at 262,000 miles on one of them. The tech said the gap was .110 but it still ran okay LOL. It was only more than double the spec but hey it's alright......

There's no need for you to justify yourself, dude. My Sierra has been problem free, but I can remember having my '14 Silverado that developed the notorious driveline vibration issues that just sucked. I wanted to love the truck so much, but I just couldn't. Every time I drove the thing I just hated the experience. Luckily, my dealer made me a good deal and I decided to give GM another try. My '16 Silverado was also problem free and I enjoyed every mile of ownership. I seriously considered going back to Ford though, and if the dealer hadn't done me right, I probably would have. GM corporate was of very little help. 

 

Like I said, enjoy your Ram.

While this is a great forum and network I gave up on my silverado this week. After the roof leak and the transfer jingle I've decide to part ways 10 months and 4k miles later. Thanks to everyone on here. PS don't go drive a Ram limited when your mad at your silverado....

As the owner of a Big Horn, welcome to the dark side! You'll be back here though from time to time, like me, creeping around, just checking out what the competition is doing. ?

I'm in the same boat over my 2019 Cheyenne RST 4x4. I am looking to buy a new 2021 Ford Lobo 4x4.

I wish it would handle better on rough roads, I encounter a lot of that in Mexico.

Putting in aftermarket shocks is a lot cheaper than losing your shirt trading for a new truck.

Good luck with the Ram.

I was at a Scout function with my soon-to-be Eagle Scout this past w/e. 

Parked my son's truck next to a brand new Ram.  Man...those interiors...really something to be said about how much nicer they are than the GM's in my opinion. 

I don't have an opinion on their durability or how quiet they are...but they do look nice. 

Glad GM is updating the interiors on these trucks.  Not that ours are bad...but you put them side by side...wow.

As a non-brand loyal person, wish you the best.  I've owned all 3.  The reason I chose GM this round was because the cost vs features vs durability.  I feel Ford is the best reliability-wise but unfortunately, equally optioned out, cost ~10k more.  The Dodges I've run (with the exception of older diesels) have been constant money pits

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By richard wysong · Posted

      I had an 88 K1500 with a 5.7 that had those symptoms, I know totally different, it ended up being the ECM. Once you get the fuel system fixed if it still runs lousy you may want to investigate that. it didn't set any codes, stalled ,ran rough at times etc

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      By James Beyer · Posted

      Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-

      Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
