Southern California. Just bought another oil change package at the dealer today. 4 for $704 includes tire rotation. Not too bad, comes out to $176/each and i get free coffee, chips, and slim jims 😁

Soot build up is super common on diesels because of the DEF system for emissions compliance. It sucks and is basically guaranteed to go out at some point, at work just the in last year we had 3 go out, 1 on our ram 5500 cummins, 1 on a peterbuilt with a cummins, and our bobcat s770 with a kubota...

Just hit 180k on my 2020 longhorn, still getting 19 city and 23 highway with 34" tires and the 2" mopar lift. Starting to get the normal high milage problems. Just had to replace the intake manifold at 170k. Check engine light keeps coming on but then it regens and it goes away. This truck seems...

Mostly just a lot of freeway driving between Los Angeles County and Riverside County. But no towing for work, just taking my boat to Lake Havasu on the weekends in the summer. I think the intercooler tube leaks are pretty minor, its just soot and crap from the EGR but when i take it all apart...

Same issue 2020 ecodiesel with 164k miles. Im about to replace my intake gasket because my swirl valves are stuck and setting off a CEL

gotcha, not a mechanic so i dont have the big metric sizes. I just used what i had laying around and 1 1/8" was close enough for me. Not gunna buy a whole new set for a single socket that ill use once or twice a year.

under the driver side door on the frame, its a black plastic container with a 1 1/8"-ish hex head on it.

What makes you want a diesel for so little driving? You're paying extra upfront for the diesel engine, more expensive oil changes, fuel filters, DEF, and diesels are just in general more expensive to fix when they break. And yes, the ecodiesel does like to be driven a lot because of the DEF, if...

2020 1500 longhorn ecodiesel 103k miles Oil change every 10k Trans every 50k Transfer case/diffs every 30k Walmart brand DEF So far so good. Couple problems and recalls but most had been covered under warranty. Only thing that wasnt was some DEF system sensor that was like $800 i think around...

yes it fits the ecodiesel but i did just have one of the shocks fail sooooo idk lol

Been a while since a posted, truck is at 96k miles now. The truck has been great until this morning. Looks like the fox front shock broke/pulled out. I don't really wheel my trucks, the only dirt this truck sees is on job sites. Went over a bump while turning and heard a loud clank. Dealer...

even at $6.20/gallon here in SoCal is still cheaper than gas because the Hemi calls for 89... I just try not to look, I sure as heck don't drive a truck to save money. I just like being able to go 600+ miles on a tank of gas, granted its almost $200/tank now

73k miles and it pretty much stays that mpg at 80mph. The sweet spot is about 65mph and it goes down from there.

Maybe get one of those back seat covers for dogs on Amazon. If they spill chocolate milk or something you’re never going to get it out of the perforated leather.

Oof, my last truck was also a 15’ Sierra 1500. Nice truck but the ac went out at 50k, power steering motor at 75 and torque converted blew up and took the trans with it at 108k. None of it was covered under warranty. The trans was $4500 to fix so I just limped it to Carmax and sold it to them.
