The 6.0 is a stronger motor but you are already aware of its shortcomings.colliehauler wrote:dodge guy wrote:I have no idea what percentage of problems people have with various components.
People have more issues with their awnings, leaks, tires, windows, etc, etc, etc than a slide out!
By the way the the trailer that wicked water from the bottom of the slide is a 06 Cherokee 30F, 2 slides 12' in front and a small slide in bedroom. Same design used in your tt different floor plan.
I also have a 2000 Excursion with the 7.3 Diesel. Not relevant but interesting.
Hows it tow the longer camper? I looked for a while for one but eventually gave up. all used ones are $30K for one with under 200K miles. You could get one with the 6.0 for mid teens-low 20s. I didn't like the idea of potential blowing my engine while towing though.
