Who's got a new truck ?

[Adam in WI]

How would GM handle a warranty claim if one of these had been installed? ("They'll never know" is not an answer.)
-

If they deny any warranty claim, sue them for violation of the Magnusson Moss Act. Since the device does nothing more than simply keep the engine in it's default V8 mode, any lifter failure that occurs would've happened regardless of if it was ever allowed to go to V4 mode or not.

Sure, easy. You'd never have trouble finding a law firm willing to sue GM on a pure contingency basis.

JMO, if you modify anything in the motor, the warrenty is gone. If you don't want a motor that operates a certain way, don't buy it.

Just buy one of the "GOOD ONES" from Yenko Chevrolet...No mods needed and full factory warranty.

You would think Chevy would figure out why the rams don't have this same problem with same feature.

I buy a new F-350 Superduty every year or two, always with the diesel engine. I run them 100,000 miles and trade them in (taxes). Put in good fuel, do your oil changes, and they will go 300,000 with very little maintenance.

2 years...100k...that's 960 miles per week...lot's of driving.

Current 2022 was new in December of 2021. 76,000 on it now

 

[D Coots]

Come to think of it when I was working I'd put on 45k a year.

Nitro black matte plasti-dip on the bead lock rings on the truck this weekend. I think it looks way better than the previous silver rings.

That's just a band aid. Unless you change out all the lifter's with non-AFM/DFM lifter's, you will still end up with trashed camshaft lobes after a while.
The cam phaser's in all of the Ford OHC engines are the same way, they're junk and made to break.

Lol exactly. Pure GARBAGE. The Ford OHC engines were trash to start with. The AFM/DFM devices aren’t worth $5, in fact they are likely doing more damage than good.

Is that the Ford 6-cylinder eco-boost engine?

Right after they flew the airplanes into the WTC and Pentagon, I did my patriotic duty. Bought an F250 Superduty with the 7.3l diesel. I'm still driving it. I did put a modern touch screen stereo and backup camera, but it's otherwise stock. 20 years old and still going strong.

I'll never buy another brand new truck. Just too expensive.

Good looking PW!
I'm on my 3rd one, had a 78, a 83, and bought my current one new in 2012. The 78 and 83 were much more tougher built trucks. While I do love my 2012 PW, I hate all the electronic nannies it has, as well as only coming with an automatic transmission.
I bypassed the factory system so I can use my locking diff's and swaybar disconnect in high and low range.

I bought a lightly used 22 f250 7.3L gasser Tremor model. I love it I have had zero issues.

No different all together

Sharp truck loaded with features. Pure beasts too.

Good. We have a Expedition with the eco-boost and was hoping it wasn’t the bad one.

How bout I want a new truck? I want to trade in a Mercedes CLA 250 on a Honda Ridgeline but the wife wants a newer Mercedes instead. I still have my 2004 Nissan Frontier that she hates! It's standard transmission and the paint has faded and peeled something awful. One grandson says he wants it the other says no way! In any event, it doesn't burn oil, 25-27 mpg, AC works, runs good and I can fix things on it, but a new truck would be nice.

New trucks at $60K plus

Scare the day lights outta me

Being an ole fart

'02 Chebby HD

'01 Landcruiser

03 Lexus LX 470 Landcruiser

A mere 700K miles combined of the 3

Why buy a new over priced truck ??

 

[4xforfun]

I don't usually do this on this website, But as a (SMALL TOWN) Ford dealer, I guarantee we sell all of our new vehicles at MSRP plus ZERO. We have 1/2 ton units in stock. I will be laying in a hospital bed for another three weeks , but my brother is around if you need help.
