- It happens to all brands - my Ram tranny blew up at 38K miles while sitting in stop/go traffic on the freeway and I hadn't towed in weeks.
- That happened to my mother-in-law with her Toyota Tacoma. Truck had about 100k miles on it.
Fan clutch and fan separated from the shaft, chewed through the radiator, caused loss of coolant.
Unfortunately, she drove it for about 10 minutes like that listening to a book on tape.
After paying 2 grand to fix the radiator/fan assembly, they found out that she burned the rings on two cylinders.
Could happen to any brand really. Tons of stories like that.
Seriously thinking about switching my truck to two electric fans. Grit dog wrote:
You feelin ok Fish??
Living the dream....:B- I swear it had a blue oval decals not a RAM or bow tie. Something is real fishy. Maybe his account was hacked.
- My BIL had a pool water business where he would load with drinking water at the water company. He had a truck failure next to the stinkest creek around and needed to drop some water to be towed, but he was not permitted to dilute the paper company filth with drinking water. I hope Mr. Truck didn't drown a grasshopper.
- I'm not a Ford fanboy, but I'll be the first to admit that could happen to any truck. If there were hundreds of cases of the same belt prematurely failing that would be different. Just a fluke thing most likely.
- Bad luck. That kind of random oddball part failure worries me far more than any difference in brand quality or engineering.
- I used to think Mr. Truck was somewhat intelligent and legitimate until I saw the back of his personal truck....
- Fish must be feeling bad , posting ford problems instead of the 800,000 gms being recalled due to steering
- That's too bad.
