The only other unfixed issues have nothing to do with the DEF or emissions, other than the emissions recall, which apparently causes other issues.
So, if you want a truck that can tow a heavy load up a hill, buy a ram. It might have problems like no AC, or no heat, surging throttle, random clunks, and a transmission that bucks when towing, and a radio that shuts off randomly, and poor dealership support. But, if you can ignore all that, buy a ram.
LOL.
