Ram's putting out some **** nice trucks that's for sure.
They were lacking in the HD tranny department for a while but with the advent of the Aisin tranny they are leaded of the pack now. In fact, the Ally is probably last place now depending on what they do to it for the new power the engine is putting out.
They were also lacking in the interior; but not anymore. First class now.
It will be interesting to see if this keeps up or was it just a blip?
It will also be interesting to see if Fords new rash of catastrophic 6.7 engine problems hurt sales? Or will Fords advertising win out. I say the latter.
Uh oh, what are the 6.7L engine problems all about? I thought they fixed up a lot of the issues with the 2015 model year and up.
So did I. But Ford fixed their valve cracking problems with a valve sticking problem. :R
There is 41 pages of problems that you can read about. Those people are pissed! Like 10x's
They are trying to Band-Aid up the problem with a software patch but it's a mechanical clearance problem. Depending on how far the clearance is off they might have some success, but A LOT are going to have the head pulled off and R&R'ed. I would be puking if I had to have my 2015, 2016 engine gone into at 5, 10, 15 thousand miles.
We had the same problem years ago with a race engine we were using. Not a fun deal to go through.
We will see though who is going to take the top spot in sales of HD diesel trucks. Interesting times we live in for sure. :)
Wow. I didn't have time tonight to read too much of it; only 5 pages. That is definitely a huge problem.
I also read of 2 high pressure fuel pumps in 2015 models grenading in that 5 pages so that problem clearly still exists even though many here claim it has been solved.
It truly gives me chills to think of the repair bills that owners of these trucks will face when they are out of warranty. It will make 6.0L repair bills look like pocket change.
I'm very happy I switched to Ram/Cummins 2 1/2 years ago. :)
