Contrary to what Devo the dog sez , I have 207,000 miles on my 2014 Ram 2500 CTD and have not spent a dime on repairs , couple sets of tires and wiper blades .Daily driver plus three or four trailer trips a year-that each last 10 to 20 days .
Except you didn’t read what he said, he said 2019 or newer, and he is mostly wrong as well, save for 1 Achilles heel on the 2019/2020 trucks which is the CP4 pump that apparently Ram hasn’t had good luck with because in 2021 they ditched it for the same old pump that has been in service since 2001/2003 in Duramax and Cummins. (GM went to the cp4 and then ditched it as well after about 5 years).
However buying a CP4 truck out of warranty is just fine, there’s a 95% (figuratively idk the exact numbers) that it will be fine and you can circumvent most of the issue for about $300 with a bypass kit or circumvent the whole issue for about $1500 with a CP3 swap. Both on GM and Ram. (Parts only)
