Just traded my 2019 Ram for a 2021 Denali with the 6.2. Both are nice trucks. Got a great deal on the trade and an even better deal on the Denali. I think the Ram had a better interior lay out and rode better. The Denali looks like a real truck and has much more technology. Having to get used to where everything is. The Denali has a build date of July 2021, so it’s really fresh. Looking forward to driving the new truck.

I also traded a 2019 Ram 2wd Laramie with 26,000 miles.  I was offered 45k for the Ram.  That is sticker price 3 years ago.  I had to pay MSRP for my AT4 minus $3800.

Here are a couple of pictures that I took at the dealership of my brand new, fresh out of the wrapper , Denali. The color is Hunter Metallic . BF3145DC-D7A1-4A81-8570-62549B78B495.thumb.jpeg.bbca487f451b975019f3a601246ab13c.jpeg2E5C751E-B042-4C6E-8C31-53A1E1386461.thumb.jpeg.101e8a3d877d0390cbdd6f4a3f690105.jpeg

I too traded my 19 Ram 1500 sport in for my AT4 and dont regret my decision one bit. What i do regret is wastinf money on thst Ram. I had a 2016 Ram with air ride suspension that kept shitting the bed every winter. So i traded it in for the 2019,ram which does look amazing but was the biggest piece of ****** ever. Spent more time at the dealership then on the road. Finally said **** it and made the jump. Love my AT4, doesnt look as nice imo but performs better and has better features. You will love the Denali.

Ugh my favorite color! I wish I could find one in my state! I settled for the tricoat white frost which I’ve come to love as well. Congrats!

 I really don’t think there is a bad color , they all look good to me. The selection and availability is almost nonexistent . The dealership where I bought my truck , have deposits on each vehicle. As soon as they are unloaded they are gone. I was on a waiting list, and I happened to call the manager and he told me that he just got off the phone with someone in Texas who decided he didn’t want the truck and he said I could buy it , but I had to jump on it right then. So I gave him a deposit and got the truck.

I also traded a '19 RAM Classic Bighorn 4x4. The only reason I traded it was the insane trade in value they gave me. I made over $7,000 from what I paid for it even after almost two years of use. Couldn't refuse it. 

 

It was a great truck with absolutely no issues but it was a gas guzzler. 

 

I now have a '21 AT4 Duramax and I love it. Drives smooth and great gas mileage. The Satin Steel Metallic color is beautiful. The only hiccup so far is one incident on "crank no start" at 123 miles. Fired up immediately after the second try.🤞🏻

 

So far the only mods are running boards and Gator soft rollup tonneau cover. 

 

Next I will upgrade the audio system. Will start with the speakers first. 

 

Beautiful Denali by the way!

I traded in my 2019 Ram off-road package as well on my Z71. Happy so far.

My Ram was flawless, it was a very nice truck. It was a Bighorn and was somewhat loaded up. It had 45,000 miles and that’s about the time I trade. The Denali had more features and was a nice upgrade from the Ram. These days, everyone builds a good truck, but none of them are perfect. There were things from my Ram and my prior F150’s that I liked and didn’t like. The same holds true for the Denali, it just happens to be the truck I have now so as far as I’m concerned it’s better then the others, at least for now.

      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.
