I read nothing but problems out of new trucks now. The new Ford 7.3 gas engine that I had hopes for has spark plug wiring harness problems. Chevy gas engines are still using the deal where they drop cylinders out and it leads to engine failure. My son lost an engine because of this. I don't know about Rams. I currently have a 2000 Ford F250 7.3 with 160000 miles that is running great but just wondering about others experiences on newer trucks.
None of the Chevy/GMC HD trucks ever had the drop cylinders function. The tried and true 6.0 gasser is a brute that keeps going and going. The new 6.6 has nothing but positive comments from what I have read on multiple forums where folks are quick to beat any little issue to death.
