Hey Guys,
Just looking for some input I have a 2008 Ram 1500 with the 4.7 in it. It just hit 152k (had truck since 90k) and runs good aside from a new P2098 code that just popped up. I’ve pinpointed it to be an exhaust gasket leak at the block however the exhaust studs are definitely going to be a pain to get out in one piece from the it’s life in the northeast. This is probably out of my personal ability to tackle and would involve me having a shop do it. Downside is this won’t pass inspection if I don’t and I would have to move on.
I was just wondering what you guys thought the life span on this truck is and if it’s worth it to sink the money into at 150k. I’ve read it going both ways on this forum with this engine. The body is in great shape, but the other thing that will pop up in the next few years would be the oil pan rusting out as the rust is increasing.
Thanks for the input in advance.
