    Eco diesel just blew up at 48k miles

    This might not be an option if it were me I'd at least consider it. Ask the dealership to let you trade in the truck. Their cost to fix the motor will be less than 11k. They may not give it to you but ask what their true cost is to fix the motor then have that adjusted off from the trade in...

    Shady business from the service advisor

    I went off road, just a muddy field and got stuck and when I was getting pulled out it bent the track bar. Took it to the dealership because I had an appt for something on going non related ABS issue so I had them take a look at the track bar and give me a quote. They called and said the front...

    Previous Rental Trucks

    There are a lot of people driving rentals and they don't even know it. It's really no different than buying any used truck unless it's from someone you know and know how they took care of it.

    V6 with 35" or 37" tires

    Just an update. I currently have 35's with the hemi and 3:21 gears and no complaints. Also I do not want 37's. The truck I was looking at was already built and it had 35's with the V6, 3:55 gears and the 8 speed trans. It was a sharp truck at a decent price I probably would have paid but it...

    V6 with 35" or 37" tires

    Anyone running this set up? I found a truck I am interested in but it's about an hour away so not real easy to run over and test drive. Before I take the time I'd like to hear opinions on guys running this set up. I currently have a hemi and 35" with 3:21 gears and have no complaints. I know...

    Looking to Trade up

    Am I understand this correctly? Is it a 3 year , 15k mile per year lease and you maxed out your mileage after give or take one year?

    Sirius XM class action lawsuit

    Funny this popped up because about 45 mins ago I got a email with a 2 month free subscription offer because my truck was at the dealership for a few days last week. No credit card or info required. They sent a "refresh" to my radio and boom! XM radio for 2 months. I expect them to continue...

    Yeah tell me about it. F'kn stupid. My lights were on all the time, I drove 2 months with them on and a non working abs/4x4 system while I decided what to do.

    Service ABS system, traction control, trailer break system etc.

    I do not know if it would be covered under warranty, mine was just out of warranty. The module comes in two parts that are sandwiched together. To replace both pieces plus both rear wheel speed sensors it was $2,000. I had a dealership quote me at $2,400 and got a 2nd opinion, both...

    Just had the dealer replace the ABS module and both rear speed sensors. Not cheap but I had the same issue that you do except the ABS, traction control, and service 4x4 system lights were on my dash all the time. Also no cruise control. It's only been 1 week but everything is good now.

    Spacers or bilsteins

    A quick update though since my post on July 25. He had a wheel bearing go out. Doubtful that it has anything to do with his level though.
