Best truck to date :B
So 71K makes your truck a reliable one but when I said I had zero problems with my RAM with 65K and 3.5 years you slam me saying that is not long enough to mean anything.
I guess you probably were right since the RAM's are known for very long life 65K is not very long.
So you know what that means to have a Ford Diesel make it 71K. That is really amazing.
You must be running AMZ/OIL :B
I suppose I don't know... My BIL 09 6.7 cummins was the biggest POS there was. And that was after owning a Ford 6.0PSD for 5 years that was a pretty good truck but not perfect.
In addition our 05 5.9 cummins truck was less than reliable too. That truck was off loaded after ~1 year for a 7.3 PSD Super Duty. It's been a much better truck.
Sorry to break the bad news! :R
Just wait he will tell you about all the head gasket failures the 6.7 Cummins have had. He will even give a link. But if you take the time to read the link you will see every one of them have a tuner and deletes.
I let my best friend use my 98 12V with 325K on the clock to haul an enclosed trailer to Utah in December last year and back to NW WA. No problems, I was 100% confident he would have no problems. I would do the same today with 343K.
What I will tell you dodge didn't make the list and for a reason.
