But again just anecdotally, I saw two videos where 2019 Fords with low mileage had the death wobble. One was a factory out of alignment job at like 20000 miles but the other was worn parts at 40000 miles.

Also I saw a 2019 Ram w the normal Cummins where the tranny had failed due to the driver not using tow haul and not locking out the higher gears. I know mine has to be in fifth while towing not sure about the 8 speed. The good think is Ram still stood behind the repair.

I know nothing about the upper comments but I call BS on the last paragraph.

AISIN or 68rfe?

Ahhh well it was the 68rfe and I was as surprised as you. To be fair, they didn’t know the full diagnosis and they were pulling it into the shop when I saw the truck.

Every once in a while someone thinks I’m full of bull malarkey and I might be 50%. Haha. But that story is a true one, unusual to be sure.

Unless they changed things, tow/haul does not lock out the higher gears in the 68RFE. Mine tows in 6th with tow/haul all the time.

FISH you are so fill of BarbraStreisand.

These 68rfe issues you are claiming are a result of people adding tuners just like the head gaskets you like to mention.

The 68 needs to go the way of the Dodo bird. Lot's of problems with them.

These folks would never lie to me, this has been a while so I’m guessing they didn’t know at the time about a problem w the 68rfe. So now that you say that, it explains why Ram stood behind the tranny.

Peace

NOT doubting you. I was asking what trans and I actually was fairly sure it was the 68. Reason is there is some sort of recall on 19 and 20 68rfe’s.

BS part is why they said it failed.

When was the last time you seen a Dodge Ram with the "Blue Tec" badge on the tailgate? Yeah... 500k miles LOL

The 6.7L Cummins from 2008 to 2010 did have emissions related issues for sure (as did GM's Duramax and Ford's diesels).

Having said that, saying an 6.7L Cummins (or any Ram/Dodge Cummins engine) is as bad as the complete and total engineering blunder that Ford pushed on the public in the form of the 6.0L and the 6.4L is a huge stretch to say the least. At least there are still people out there that will fix 2008 to 2010 6.7L Cummins engines. Heck, even Bill Hewitt (Powerstrokehelp.com) gave up on the 6.4L as did Ford! The junk 6.0L POS is solely responsible for destroying Ford's previous overwhelming share of the ambulance market as well.

The current Ford 6.7L diesel appears to be as good as any of them, and very powerful. They seem to have learned their lesson.

Having said that when was the last time you've seen a Dodge 6.7 cummins Blue Tec and a Ford 6.0PSD?

This is blind brand loyalty at it's best. I had a Ford 6.0L and was a die hard Ford man; the truck in my sig speaks for how that truck and Ford treated me.

There are plenty of 1st generation Cummins 6.7L trucks still running around in my area and as a matter of fact a coworker of mine just had one from a totalled 2009 Ram installed in his 2008 F350 after the 6.4L grenaded on him at 170k kms. At least one could delete the early Cummins 6.7L and have a great truck; the Ford 6.0L and 6.4L diesels not so much....

I have seen several wreckers.
