Tell me your horror stories (Diesel)
Ok, so browsing through the thread about the 2011 Ford diesel left me in shock. Seems like there were many issues with the early builds of that engine. I know the Cummins and Duramax of that generat...

Had a 2014 Ram 2500 CTD. Bought it used in 2016. Had 17K miles when purchased. Used it for 2.5 years, and put 36K miles on it. Only issue I had was water pump failure on road while towing. All covered by warranty, and road side assistance.
Purchased the truck used for $37,000 plus tax. Sold it about two weeks ago to a local dealership for $35,500. $1500 (plus my tax that I paid) for two and a half years usage, not bad in my book.
Bought a brand new 2017 Ram 3500 CTD at a South Carolina dealership for $47,500 plus tax. Stickered for $62,500(ish), so it was brand new and 15K off. Only 86 miles when I got it. That's the only reason I sold the 2500, because I found a great deal on the 3500. Yes, two model years old, but it was the absolute cheapest brand new 3500 I could find anywhere in the Southeast/East. And it's a Bighorn package, not the Tradesman. It will hopefully be my last truck I purchase in my lifetime.
