Yeah how the hell can they deny warranty for bad injectors after only 38k miles??? Did they give you an explanation?Quote:

Also quoted the job between $800-2500
sure it's the same as the 6.2 in my 'maro. injectors fall under the emissions warranty of 3/50k-lots of guys that have had luck getting them swapped out for that piece of the warranty but sometimes with some dealers it takes some "pushing".Quote:

I have changed injectors on many of vette's and trucks. It takes 1-2 hrs to do all of them, pressure test/leak test, and back to driving. Parts can be bought aftermarket at better quality and while you are there throw a turner to it and be able to tow better.
I hope you didn't lose you a$$ on selling it. It was clearly a $300 fix at most from any good shop (non-dealer).
Summit racing has them in stock also.
Slightly more involved on a direct injection 6.2, but very doable.Quote:

And 1/8 the cost!

Also I've always been a diesel guy since my last 2005 duramax however haven't been able to justify it so letting it go wasn't hard for me. I live at about 4000' and the lake I go to is 40mins and 1200' so the mountain down is pretty steep. Since I didn't get electric breaks I could use some breaking help anyways.
Im really leaning towards a 2022 F250 platinum right now, used prices are crazy so at least if you order a truck you won't have to overpay?
I'm glad the market was kind to you and you made out good. As far as the anger from not standing by their product, I get it 100%.Quote:

Ford is a good choice and the 10 speed in it and the GM trucks are awesome. I still don't like the super duty interior though. Ram has the interior game, but you have to by the 3500 to get the Aisin trans which ups the price quickly. Good luck shopping. But my LMM Duramax has had zero issues compared to my previous LLY. Hard the knock the GM Duramax powerplant, but they already lost you so....
I love my '17 250 and it's been my dd since Day 1. PSD is a hoss.Quote:

I've had them both and the new Duramax is winning!!
You should go drive one and then hook your boat up to it and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Ram and Ford interior crushes the GM interior and GM is rapidly redoing the interior already, looks like 2023 for GM to catch up

Ive always been a "GM guy" however not brand loyal. My brother in law does have a 2020 chevy high country 2500HD I can tug the boat around in some time, we have a 2021 F550 and its been amazing the short time we have had it probably shouldn't compare 250 to a 550 though haha
No experience with the cummins though, did sit in one and it was nice however I wouldn't call it "better"
The short time I've been shopping the way I see it
Ford- 475hp-1000lbtq- 10 speed. EVERY OPTION (in a platinum) $79K
GMC/Chevy- 445hp-910lbtq- 10 speed (Fords right?) No adaptive cruise control or massaging seats. And I Love adaptive cruise. Denali price is like $83K
Ram- 410hp- 1000lbtq- 6 speed (ancient tech) No massaging seats. I have no idea about the trim levels but the limited is also right at $80K
Correct me if im wrong or missing the big picture on anything I haven't shopped big trucks in a long time
You are right there!.Quote:

I have been a "GM Guy" myself for years by default. It just worked out they way when shopping and looking for deals. I like the Fords, but around me you won't get a Platinum for that price. The dealers have limited supplies and are adding $5k or more in fees. $79K is a Lariat with FX4 package.
What I like about the Ford and GM is that to get the "heavy duty" options and towing you can still be in a 3/4-ton truck and not a 1-ton but the Ram factory Air-ride is a nice touch.
The GM heavy duty 10 speed is not related to the light duty 10 speed that Ford shares with GM.
The HD 10 speed is branded as an Allison, but it’s not made by Allison, it is made in house at GM with design coming from Allison.
I would avoid the Ram air suspension like the plague. Extremely problematic.

Good to know about the air-ride.Quote:

Good note on the air suspension if I even went ram I thought that would be nice.
Also with the ram you can't get the Aisin until you step up into a 3500 correct?
The GM still has the same 8" screen practically my 18 Denali had where as the 2022 ford gets a new 12" screen and the ram has that practically Tesla screen option so
I have a very good relation with my ford dealership thankfully so no absurd fees, hopefully there wil also be some incentives by the time the truck does arrive
Can also probably get a family discount from a gm so that could be several thousand off.
Kelderman air suspension....NOW we're talking about spending other people's money, lol.Quote:

Correct, Ram 3500 to get the Aisin. Sounds like skip the air-ride and go aftermarket for long term. I have daily driven a 3500 dually for several years, so anything softer than that would be an upgrade for me.
If you have favors you can pull try them all out and see what you like best. Local Ford dealer to me even has a trailer with 8K on it so you can simulate pulling on your test drive. Something you might want to ask about.
Anyone have a Dodge Durango SRT? Contemplating trading in my Tahoe...
8700 tow capacity on a 6 person people mover that runs 0-60 in 4.6 sec. Figure the clock is ticking on large displacement V8 composted dinosaur burners, so might as well enjoy while it lasts...
Fully loaded Kaiyen with gear, gas, spare tire, etc. is around 6500# or less. Add 500lbs of lead for future and you are looking at 7000#. Durango will certainly have the power my only worry would be the tongue weight pushing down on it. Still a "mid-size" suv frame but at least it is once again a frame based suv (2021) and not uni-body.Quote:

Might handle it if you don't mind being a squatter. Most of the smaller V8 SUVs do fine up to 5,000 towing, then they suggest a weight distribution for anything over that. My old MobV will squat our 2020 Armada Platinum Elite just a little but forget about it with anything heavier. It's rated for 8,500. My cargo trailer has some tongue weight and will put that sucker on the fender wells with just the ball even with the air bag support when loaded to about 7,000. WDH also squats it some but not unbearable...

Yea the squat is what I’m worried about… the load leveling airbags in the Tahoe are pretty luxurious.
There are some TFL Trucking videos on YouTube where they put the Durango SRT up against a Tahoe towing a 7k formula vee and a Raptor during their tow gauntlet test. Both videos had some squat, but they couldn’t find much else to complain about besides the lack of an integrated brake controller.
We towed our Mojo loaded up, 1/2 tank of gas, people, dogs, etc. and found out that we blew a rear air shock after getting to Norris. Had no idea how long it was bad, but after replacing both air shock in the rear, wife and I both had to adjust the memory mirrors and gas mileage went back up. It doesn't squat at all since replacing the shocks.
I'm sure you could add helper to the Durango. Again, you are only towing heavy 5-10% of the vehicle's life. I would rather enjoy the ride the other 90-95% of the time and be able to handle the boat when needed.
We haul our 2016 Mojo with a 2013 Durango 5.7 Hemi rated at 7200 lbs, so a bit smaller than what you are considering. It has automatic load leveling rear suspension so it doesn't squat at all. Make sure if you go with the Durango that you specify the Class IV tow package and get the improved suspension.
Not towing the New Supra yet but here's my Tow pig pulling the 06 SANTE 🤤
Love the Dirtymax but seriously thinking about getting into an F350 limited in the next year or so, wife wants a 5th wheel toy hauler 😭

We have been getting hammered in CO this summer with rain, and its looking to be a wet winter. Not being a downer at all, it is what it is; Powell has always been "Dangerously Low" but this is a new level for sure. It doesn't phase me as much though being that I am AZ born and raised, heard it all my life...Quote:

With our move to Round Rock prepare for Flood or fire. I tend to have the center of said Venn over my head.
Currently boatless
No shade thrown for surfing past Thanksgiving...mainly respect since most of us are sissies, used to bath tub temps and stop when thin wetsuits are needed [emoji28]Quote:

Just came across this. I didn't realize the lakes were that crazy low. All blame seems to be on snowfall. I would also question WHERE all the water is going. Any wasteful outflows add up over time. Sort of like the slow leak that nobody thinks is bad until you look at how much water it has put out over time.
