Hi there so like I said I'm a new'b to this forum and just had a couple questions about my new ride...
So I just picked up a pretty sweet '16 2500 Outdoorsman and I'm coming from a '20 Rebel EcoDiesel. Had to go to the HD truck as my Rebel was not up to the task of pulling my toy hauler.
Anyhow, so this truck has the 6.4 Hemi with 55k on it and what I wondering is, should I be concerned about the drivetrain reliability enough to warrant getting a 3rd party warranty? I could get one for about $1700 for 3yrs and 36k more miles but really I'm just wondering if it's worth doing? Are these trucks prone to major issues and if so what?
I have a buddy with a '14 PowerWagon and he had to replace the trans at around 55k miles which really shocked me, so is this a common issue on these or is that a rare issue?
I've also noticed that this truck really rides like a tank and I'm wondering if there are ways to make it smoother, maybe softer coil springs or shocks? Ya I know I'd lose some towing with softer coils but this thing is kinda overkill where my Rebel was just not enough.
Anyhow thanks for reading and thanks ahead for any wisdom that can be shared!
