First off brother your #1 screw up was buying a dodge! Always go Chevrolet!
@@marvinlebeau6701 damn that's a crazy way to build a vehicle! Can't check the fluid! Sorry to hear about that!
@@snoopy3060 government motors sucks
I'm seeing a pattern developing!
Nice Italian truck made in Mexico.
Buying a Dodge was your first mistake, second mistake was paying $83,000 for a Dodge.
His mistake was buying anything new with this extremely inflated market. An image of someone bent over with their trousers down around their ankles at the dealership would be very fitting these days.
Not a dodge and my 2020 ram rebel has 32k miles not a single problem
I have a 2017 Ram 1500. So far, so good.
@@itsthehumidityyall8303 2017 ram 1500 120k hard miles no problems
@@KanoDTG lol, Not a Dodge... that always cracks me up. It's always been a Dodge and it'll always be a Dodge, regardless of what it says on the tailgate. Unless Chevy or Ford starts building them, the Ram is still a Dodge, even if Dodge doesn't want them to be. Hehe
The fact that trucks are being sold for $80,000+ is nuts, but the fact that people are readily spending more than $80,000 on trucks is just insanity. This goes two ways.
I understand race trucks or dune runners costing that much, i.e.. the Raptor and / or Ram Powerwagon and whatnot, but trucks for hauling costing that much is ridiculous.
They advertise these as "the working man's" truck. What working man can afford a $1,000 a month carnote? Most cannot.
It's a pretty obvious debt bubble on the verge of popping.
@@honkhonkler7732 absolutely agreed. Car debt right now reflects mortgage debt pre 2008. Auto loans are being issued to anyone with any credit and they’re using extra long loan periods to make payments work for anyone.
The truck is worth actual $30,000. Ppl are dumb af paying these ripoff prices
Trucks for 75k+ is the new normal ..not going back
my grandfather who worked in construction his whole life used to use a chevrolet malibu as a truck lol, he would pop the trunk, put the back seats down and load it up with wood and just put flags on the end of the wood. if it was a massive load he would just get them to deliver it because every place you can buy building supplies has delivery.
The fact that you have to worry if a major automaker will stand behind their product tells me everything I need to know!!! 83k is just plain crazy😂
So you're saying another brand is better? LOL. All I'm saying is...all brands have their issue. Its a crap shoot. Folks that are fanboys of a certain pickup brand are tools. Why would someone have such devotion to piece of metal? I've had a every brand of pickup in 1500. In order: 1984 Ford, 1999 Ram, 2002 Chevy, 2005 Ram, 2007 Tundra, 2011 Tundra, 2014 Ram, 2015 GMC, 2017 Ford Raptor, 2020 Ram Rebel, 2022 Ram TRX, 2023 Ford. None of them sucked. I just buy whatever I think looks best and what I can get deal on. They are all nice. Sometimes though, there are certain one that yes, have problems. It can happen with any. Again, nuthuggers of any one brand...almost always have a very low IQ.
With the progression of technology, I believe one day someone will invent a manual transmission for these trucks that you can shift your own gears with a lever. It will be simple and almost bulletproof. You just wait!
🤣
I also hope they invent a way to have gears made out of 100 percent machine steel. That would make a huge difference in longevity.
That's called a sequential transmission
Hmm ... With a lever , or a shifter on the floor ?
FYI, I was being sarcastic. Just making a point that we're going to come full circle and that the "new technology" is often worse.
I paid $15,000 for a new 2005 Toyota Tacoma. It now has 315,000 miles on it and still runs like new. Everything works, ice cold air, smooth and quiet at 80 mph on the highway. The 3 best cars I ever owned have all been Toyota's.
Toyota is the best..
Have had mostly Toyotas, they're great. Had a Ram truck 20 years ago and it developed some transmission issues, then a fuel line leak and eventually caught on fire while we were driving down the road and we watched it completely burn while waiting for the fire department....
94 f150 still going strong here with some repairs here and there
But you can’t pull bobcat around no HD truck
Nope
Endless money pits lol😂 Scotty is right again
Buying an $83,000 dodge was a life changing mistake 😂
Highly expensive engine crate.......RAM/Dodge. The engine is all that there is.
I bought my house 30 yrs ago for $83k
It’s not a dodge...
@@kt550Uh, yeah it is, who you think makes it?
Paying that for anything is a life changing mistake
I can't imagine laying down 83K for a pickup truck in the first place.
I mean it sounds like it was a business expense for this guy and he really thought it'd be worthwhile to spend a little more and get something reliable. I can't imagine being this calm while explaining the situation.
I can't either but this is insane.
No sense to pay that much for any truck, especially a work truck. These are just replacements and status symbols equivalent to the luxury land yatchs people drove in the 70s. I swear, common sense no longer exists in this country. These companies charge this much because people are dumb enough to pay it. End of rant.
I'm pretty certain most of the cost came to the luxury features of the truck. That's mainly why pickups are so expensive.
@@planobest8120 Reliable?? Then he shouldn't have bought a Dodge Ram. They are known for transmission problems.
In the 2020’s we are quickly learning that insanely expensive prices for vehicles don’t equate to improved or even acceptable levels of vehicle quality.
Late to the party
doh!
it's inflation, they've ransacked our economy too many times. make no mistake this is the fault of the ultra wealthy. it's time to start eating them, or at least taking them out john wick style
yup! they want more money while offering nothing more
We call it the Idiot Tax
Well, my 2023 Silverado 5500 Duramax has broken down about a dozen times in the first 5,000 miles. I spent $138k on the truck just for it to sit in the shop for the first 2 months. My 2015 Ford f550 powerstroke blew up the engine at 79k miles. They're all junk.
My first wife died of ovarian cancer. My.second wife is dieing from brain cancer. Thank you for acknowledging others have worse issues than you. Hope they fix your truck properly
I’m so sorry for your loss.
I think it is ok to show frustration but also remember there are a lot of worse problems out there
@@RockhillfarmYT❤ I’ve been reading all of the comments on your truck. Thanks for sharing mostly out of frustration I see. I would disregard 99%. My wife and I retired and just purchased a 23 SuperDuty with the 7.3 gas engine. I’m going to pray for you and that the Lord looks over you and your family. I’ve owned mostly Tundras and 2 Tacomas. I wanted to future proof by going 3/4 ton. Wanted a truck not to be overwhelmed by any heavier trailers we might purchase. Good luck.
I’m sorry for your loss.❤
The only problem I see is that you actually paid $83,000 for that 😂
Another way to look at it - that's 4 trucks in great condition that can also haul.
@@incremental_failure That's like 6 - 2013 trucks in fair condition with 100k miles each lmao
Has too much money
@@aweewa5659 Should have known better than to buy Dodge Ram lol
@@stevenrobert8567 They have several of them . All of them multiple transmission replacement.
I cannot imagine spending 83kl for a truck. Hell, I can't imagine spending 83k on any vehicle.
If he's making payments it's way more by the time it's paid off.
You don’t have money that’s why :)
@@Sheer_Tazieh I know surgeons who don't spend this much on vehicles......some people are just bad with money
@@drunkhusband6257 surgeons don't use their vehicle for work. some people are just bad with logic.
@@ctaylor8003 And construction workers, farm workers, trade workers....don't almost ever buy 80k trucks either.
I’m surprised that a window in the middle of a roof that flexes could ever leak when it rains, just mind boggling😂!
Hes in the country the drains are prolly clogged and thats when you get water in the vehicle and water + electricity is no bueno thats when you start having electrical problems
Two take aways, the first being negative in that the totality of the problems makes for an unreliable vehicle, which is the opposite of what one needs in their work and in their life. You don't want to have the truck in the back of your mind as you go about your business, wondering if you would be able to back out of the Walmart parking lot. The second thing is positive, and that is your handling of the problem. You didn't punctuate your complaint with profanity, you didn't vow to seek revenge, you just set it up to be dealt with in a timely manner. For that, I am impressed. Thank you for the clip.
It’s crazy how expensive trucks are… and 90% of them are not even being used for their intended purpose
Why they’re allowed to build them so shitty now. Instead of people buying a sports cars they get a $80,000 truck
100% Facts.
This guy was actually using the truck as intended. He said he had a load of 2"x6"s, he's not wrong.
@@davepingel7447 yeah no shit we saw the video talking in general
90% of these vehicles are not being sold except for this clown where apparently has more money than brains
$83000 for a truck is ridiculous.
When you buy things for social status
Check todays prices on heavy duty diesel trucks. All of them.
@growingup4487 a heavy duty truck isn't social status. They have tons of uses for general contractors and laborers.
@@growingup4487 you obviously do not work. 😂
"$83000 for a truck is ridiculous."
Obviously, you're correct. But, some morons pay that amount...hence, the high prices.
I worked in construction for over a decade, and never had need of a "brand new" truck. My investment was in my tools. Not my transportation.
I had the leak on my truck. They replaced the sunroof glass thinking it was that easy. A week later it leaked again. The entire interior roof was taken down and a small hole was found in the track. So far so good now. Fingers crossed my transmission doesn't cease up.
.....and the sad part is 95% of the people who buy these $80 to 85,000 pickups (that are 3/4 ton or 2500 series) really don't even need anything half of that heavy, big or expensive. Some people have to learn the hard way.
Makes em feel good lol big truck, big price, big…oh wait nvm
Dang city slicker homos
76.78 % of stats are made up on the spot ...
Some of us actually work with our trucks on a daily basis. Hauling cattle, hay, tractors and excavators. My truck is ALWAYS hooked up to something. But haters gonna hate. Maybe you need to ask mommy for a bigger allowance
Even if you don’t use these overpriced turds for work. Who gives a shit. Be a man and go make more money. You think these manufacturers give a shit if you drive you $100,000 off a cliff? No
As a guy who uses trucks for a living, a lot of these newer trucks with insane prices are junk. I also was told to stay away from dodge by many dodge owners. Good luck with the fix.
Exactly stay away from the damn dodges they are junk !!
And I have heard many Ram owners say that they would never buy anything else. I guess it depends on what side of the fence you are on. The Ram side, the Ford side or the GM side.
I heard toyota owners complain how unconfortable it was… but never it was piece of junk…
@@stopmakingsense9915Rams a re pieces of shit. Best friend had a 2013 Dodge 1500 and the cams let go after about 60,000. Dodge wouldn’t go good for it.
He towed it to a Chevy dealership and sold it to them and bought a Silverado.
I drive a Tundra and let me tell you the engine is ridiculously durable.
This is exactly why so many guys are rebuilding their old trucks. I'm getting older and hate unneeded problems. So I decided to rebuild my 98 Silverado. Possibly the best decision I have ever made.
I have a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 quad cab, 4.7l engine. Bought new. I keep all maintenance done as needed, and have a fantastic mechanic who takes excellent care of it. After a recent service work he told me “ don’t ever get rid of your truck. It’s in perfect condition. The new trucks built today are junk”. I paid $18,000 for it in 2002, and have about $12,000 in maintenance over 20 years ( includes tires). It has hauled just about everything imaginable, traveled all over the country and is my daily driver. It has never broke down, or failed. For what I’ve got in it I couldn’t buy a new truck! And I wouldn’t want one. When something needs repaired or replaced I spend the money on it because I’ll never need another one.
I've had that same though for the last 10 years after nothing but new vehicle problems. My $84,000.00 got traded after 9 months of ownership after being in the shop once a month from new because of BS electrical issues. My new 2020 Ram 2500 6.4 hemi is on it's 3rd set of lifters at 50,000 miles and took the so called "certified mechanic" four days to do it at the dealership. I'm sick of new being S hit! The list goes on with my last four Silverados bought new.. pretty unbelievable if you ask me..
Yep bought an 04 Cummins.
Ya Butch I was conversing with a fellow that was saying he could afford to buy a new Ford truck. I suggested that he would be further ahead finding something cool like a 94 Bronco down south and re build it.
..agree ..I have a 2001 Suburban ..200k on the 5.3 ..and I’ve gone through it ..runs great ..expecting a tranny repair before long but ..I’m up for it ..I’ll yank it out and maybe do the rebuild myself ..just because ..but ..it’ll be done right either way ..and I’ll know what I have ..
The problem with “raining inside my truck” is possibly caused by bad or poorly-installed light seals on the top of the cab. My brother-in-law had some freaky electrical issues on his F350 pickup, and it was because water came in through the lights on the cab and made its way down into the electronics in the dash and caused mysterious problems (random times the horn would go off while parked in a motel parking lot-it could only be stopped by disconnecting the battery!
Exactly those drains on the sunroofs get clogged all the time by debris and water then gets inside the cab
My first house in 1980 was 42k. How times have changed. Trucks cost 83k. Currently driving a 2001 f150. It has never failed me. I’m not letting it go anytime soon.
I have a similar age Silverado 4WD. It has high mileage on it and it's a strong daily runner. It cost $20k new. It came with a standard 8' bed which nowadays you are going to pay extra for.
Looking at used trucks is disgusting.
It might not be pretty anymore but I still love to drive it. The best part about it is it has been paid for about 17 yrs and I'm not interested in another debt payment.
I have 2017 Silverado with 40k miles on it.
Best truck I've ever owned.
Have you ever heard the term inflation?
Oh yeah; I’m a Ford Man myself, First On Race Day 🤙
@@firstlast9292 really, that same house I sold a year later for 49k. It sold last year for over 600k.
Word of advice: don't buy a fricking luxury truck for $83,000 dollars. It is literally insane.
It's actually a $73k truck with a $10k Cummins, the best diesel ever put in a pickup that will run forever.
as long as consumers keep buying what ever they produce than expect the same thing over and over again
I'm sure you've already fixed this issue by now, but the 1st thing I would've done is disconnect the + battery terminal for a few min to allow the ECU to reset. That might've actually fixed the problem.
Not if the water coming through the a frame shorted out a bunch of fuses and fried the ecu lol sun roofs are known to have the drains clogg in the country. Happened to my mom on her camery. leaves nuts and mud gets in there and creates all kinds of problems
Thanks so much for posting makes me love my new Ford Maverick hybrid
I can't believe I finally found you, bro. The man, the myth, the legend himself. The guy who buys a Dodge and expects it to be reliable.
lol...no kidding!
All cars have reliability problems this is clearly a lemon. I know someone who bought a brand new Camero and it was a lemon. Been sitting at the dealership for months. Meanwhile I have a 2018 ram rebel that has never had a single issue. Does that mean Dodge is more reliable than Chevy? Think with your head and not your feelings because you envy people with nicer things. 😊
@@ittorasetsuxx8077 you're wrong about that, obviously you're buying unreliable vehicles if you think "all cars have reliability problems", I've owned 2 Acura's since 2010 and have never had a reliability issues with the first or second one, the most major thing I've had to get done to them is changing batteries, my current car will be 10 years old in October and the only thing I've had done to it other than routine maintenance is minor warranty work that never caused a mechanical breakdown and getting the battery changed. We had fleet trucks that were brand new when I worked in the oilfield and some of them were rams, at one point we couldn't find 5 of them and they were all in the shop with less than 20k miles on them in various parts of west texas.
@@ittorasetsuxx8077 not true, there are trucks that are built to last and then there is dodge.
@@christiansoto9755 then explain my 100k+ mile truck that has never been in the shop…
The fact that i have a 27year old car and have the same problems with a guy that just bought his new car is fascinating
you had to earn your problems back in the day. Now they just hand them out on day one.
not fascinating, he's just a moron. I just can't imagine ever doing something so moronic. Ugh, home of the poorly educated.
@darkchild4neverever Look up the term " planned obsolescence". Nothing is made to last and it's done purposely.
Exactly. My '01 suburban transmission went out at 320,000 miles. Cars nowadays are made like junk.
For the first issue, did you use one pair of keys to lock the truck and then use the other pair of keys to try to start the truck? There’s a feature in the brand new dodge rams that prevents the second pair of keys from starting and making the trunk functional at all without the pair that locked it.
I have a 2019 Ram 1500 and once had trouble with reverse, but I think the issue was with a door open/ajar it wouldn't back up. Any chance something like that might have factored in, some onboard computer overthinking things?
This is exactly what I fear about buying a new truck. When you buy used you kinda expect to have some issues but if I pay 80k for a new truck and it has catastrophic failure before hitting 100k miles I'd lose my shit.
Extended cock Warranty
warranty could be included
I’d be more upset if I payed $50,000 for a used truck without a warranty. RAM Cummins has 100,000 mile warranty. Nothing to worry about.
@@zackzander425 lol my cousin had a 2019 ram 2500 Cummins and at 40,000 miles the front and rear main seals started to leak severely so he took it to doge for repair and they told him it wasn’t covered because of his tuner. Then they told him it would take 11 months to get repaired due to lack of diesel technicians. That’s what you can expect from dodge. He traded it in for a Chevy.
@@zackzander425 most for a used is 30k why would you buy a used one for 50k you’re nuts just get yourself a brand new one for that prize
That sucks dude. As a dealer tech I feel for ya. We are completely overwhelmed and have been for a couple years now. The new vehicles are so complicated. Between just making the repair, mountains of paperwork, fighting the manufacturer on the repair, it's a lot. I feel bad everyday at work. I know people need their cars and I'm clockin 70+ hours a week but they just keep coming. The new one seem to have a lot of weird problems. I hope it gets resolved quickly bud. Trust me when I say the tech is most likely tryin his best, their is just so much red tape to cut. Also, if you wanna gripe to someone. Call dodge and gripe at them. All of the car makers QC has gone WAY downhill since 2020. It's bonkers. The fire out these things then disappear and leave it up to the dealership that has very little power to actually resolve the issue properly in a timely fashion. Sorry. Rant over.
Thank you for the feedback. I want to see if I can find contact info to go directly to Dodge because I feel so guilty complaining to the dealership but also the squeaky wheel gets the grease
You need to open a case with Dodge and the dealer act much faster because it’s all from manufacture I have 2022 ram 2500 diesel mega cab bought in November last year I had issue with the recall once I had a case with them they fix right away and it sat awhile in shop till then. These are good trucks but electric wise no soo good.
@@RockhillfarmYT Why feel guilty about complaining? You spend 80 grand on something and it better work the way YOU want it to. Screw Dodge they already got your money. I'd be raising 50 kinds of hell about it.
Next time buy a gas motor. Everyone talks about how they need a diesel and it's the only thing that'll last. Not true. Now a days gas motors like the Ford Godzilla is killing it.
Diesel is nice until you have an issue and then you can't find anyone competent enough to work on it.
Good luck man. Hope it all works out for you.
@@jamesvaldez4093 you are not the only one that feels that way about gas engine , thousands and thousands of dollars cheaper and thousands of dollars cheaper and repairs and the only difference with a good gas engine nowadays is that your pay more for fuel little by little instead of paying out $7,000 on diesel repairs , so yes I agree with you 100% after all the research I have done as well , and I keep catching myself looking at diesel engine trucks to pull my fifth wheel because I'm thinking of the old Cummings diesel engines , but I have to keep reminding myself of the super expensive that come along with these newer diesel engines which I personally think they have became junk especially compared to the money you pay for them ,
And a gas engine is more like a disposable lighter except for the disposable lighter last way longer nowadays and the engines are easier to find second hand as the years go by.
Yiu are correct sir. The QC seems to have left the building. It’s really sad to see for something that costs this much. It needs to be dealt with.
And people wonder why early 2000s Tundras are still reselling for 15k-20k.
Yessssirrrr
EXACTLY, plus Toyota stands by their warranty with Lil hassle
I think it has something to do with the backup sensor that keeps you from running into something, there should be a switch to turn it off.
I just can't wrap my head around the fact that anyone would pay that much money for any kind of pickup.
Nobody is. Only the suckers financing it for 7-10 years are. Anyone with upfront cash is not dumb enough to dump that kind of money on a crappy ram.
Why? Any decent diesel truck is expensive. I can’t wrap my head around you not being able to understand the need for such a truck. I own 6 of them. They work hard. Do I agree with the cost? Of course I don’t. You gotta pay to get it done. Grow a pair sonny.
Oh they get much much more expensive.
@@AA-sq1xz My crappy ram 3500 has 550,000 miles on it. And I pull my tractor with it every day. What's your special ride?
you can't find a decent 4wd full-size p/u for less than $50k nowadays....they all come loaded.
its crazy that the price on these vehicles go higher and higher while the quality and reliability on them has gone so far down hill its ridiculous.
Because stupid ppl keep buying them. WE have the power to make any company sell what we want. We just don't stick together and use it. Like that v6 f-150 raptor. Sounds like garbage.. That truck is dumb af and nobody should have bought even a single one. I guarantee the next year model would have a v8 again but nope...
It’s the same with everything. And I mean everything. When my ma was in college (she’s 55) she paid $200 a semester and actually learned something worthwhile. Now a kid a work is going to the same school my ma did, paying $3k with a Pell grant, and paying $10k the semester he didn’t get the grant, which is the actual cost. The quality of the education went down significantly, while the cost for the product went up 50 times, and this happened over the course of about 30 years.
The reason for all of this is profiteering. Entitled corporations who feel it’s their right to up the price while simultaneously cutting as many corners as possible to reduce cost. They sit in board rooms to figure out just how shitty they can make a product and people will still give them money for it.
@mordecaibilshan6534 the education system is a different ball game. Schools know they can hike up prices due to the government shelling out financial aid as well as giving anyone that wants a loan they will never pay back.
So much has gone into making vehicles more "fuel efficient" and lighter that money is going in that direction vs. getting quality parts that just work.
@@BigTrees4everI bet they're brainwashing him with liberal agenda nonsense too... By the way I'm neither conservative or liberal myself I'm just saying... When I went to college, there was a lot of liberal trash... Unless it's a political science class, don't be trying to share your political views with us. We're paying too much for college.
@@SargeGreenGladdyHaha, the reason why these enormous trucks and SUVs exist on the market is specifically to skirt emissions and safety regulations.
Sorry you are experiencing these issues. I had a leaking back Window in my 2020 Jeep Gladiator. Sticker on this vehicle was $64K.After three years of leaking, the truck went back to the dealer, they finally resolved the issue. They replace the rear window with a Gen 2 Jeep window because they admit the original factory window was flawed from the factory. Eventually the leak came back...the dealer and the Jeep engineers determined that the source of the leak was coming from a roof seam and NOT the window. once the roof was sealed, the leak disappeared. Never had an engine or trans issue on my Jeep... Good Luck!
Sorry about your truck man that sucks. Hopefully it's been fixed over these past 10 months
I can't believe that anyone would pay $83,000 for a pickup truck. The most expensive vehicle that I ever bought was an F350 that I paid $12,500 for it. I had that truck for almost 10 years and I hauled a lot with that truck (transmission never went out either).
Beetle was that truck 30 years old with 200,000 miles on it when you purchased it for $12,500 ? A 2022 Ram 1500 Bighorn crew cab averages around 55k out the door.
Well when it’s time to buy an newer truck you’ll see the price difference.. I also had an old truck that I paid 15k for it… ran it into the ground… well I paid double now for one with double the mileage
@@508knucklehead It's crazy the inflation on trucks. I bought my 2012 Ram 1500 Bighorn 5.7 4WD Crew Cab one owner like new 26,000 miles in it in 2016 and paid 17,900 from the Ram Dealership, Now that same would be 35,000....It's crazy..

As far as it being “just transportation”…
Reading that causes me to recoil…
I suppose it is just transportation Unless you run multiple businesses that all depend on you towing and hauling materials… And then it’s your entire livelihood and you will pay more for what you perceive to be dependability
Also the truck market has literally doubled in the last 24 months. Even used high mileage trucks are very expensive
Yes, the auto companies are putting themselves out of business with their insane prices. I wanted a new jeep but the prices were so crazy I opted for a 2002 with low mileage and fixed everything that was wrong. All-in for 14K.
wise

Christler just bought my 2022, 3500 back. It had 27 thousand miles. Started at nine thousand. Injectors, DPF, Fuel pump. Was in the shop 13 times in the year i owned it. Engine light was constantly on
My Jeep Liberty had recalls for ball joints, torque convertor and then the supports for rear struts.
That was not good, but they got it all fixed. it now has 275,000 trouble free miles.
20k miles on a Dodge is huge! Can't believe it lasted that long!
High mileage 😂
😂
In a Ford it's a lifetime😂
My 2011 Dodge Ram needed a new motor at 60K, so I was lucky. LOL
@@Maber01 very impressive
Makes me even feel better for only paying $5k for my 2002 Toyota Tundra Limited 6 years ago. The paint may not be so good, but it runs great, no leaks.
I'm with you all of the way!
I can GUARANTEE you that you have a higher net worth than this TH-cam video guy
20 year old Tacoma 5-speed 349,900 miles and runs like a clock ...
and if you take good care of it, it will still be going long after this '22 Dodge is turned into chinese razor blades
Same story with my 2002 Toyota
I own a 2001 dodge ram 1500 with a 5 speed manual transmission. It's only 2wd. It just turned over to 380,000 miles. It's on the 2nd engine and transmission. I bought it with 328,000 miles in June of 2018 from a guy in Texas. Just changing out the rear end as it howls. Good quality back then. It's a real workhorse with the 5 speed
I've never known so much problems from vehicles more than 60k..
I still have with me a 2004 Honda Euro, (Acura in US) and it's more money efficient than the others we've got as a deposit/headache toy..
But you've saved my ass from doing so in getting a (converted) Ram..👍🤝
I can’t fathom the amount of dissatisfaction, disappointment and anger you must feel. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this one.
Exactly. Well said.
And I guarantee you’ll never hear that statement from an auto manufacturer!
Same
Dang sorry to hear about these problems. For north of $80K and under warrenty I would expect there to be golden 24/7 support.
Not so much, I went through the wild goose chase with lifter issues on my new warranted Ram 2500. The mechanics denied it twice that there wasn't an issue, I forced them to change it out twice after noise from collapsing lifters proving them wrong and I right both times. The Ram is on it's 3rd set of lifters at 50,000 miles...
@@njm5991yup, had some warranty issues with my Silverado and had to fight the dealer for repairs to be approved. Basically had to diagnose injector failures myself and they finally gave in
My 88 Dodge Ramcharger has been rock solid. Still my daily driver. Parents gave it to me in 2003.
Were you able to fix this? Was it under any type of warranty?
Good you highlighted this. $85k is absolutely ridiculous. Even if it were perfect.

Wow, 83 grand. Tech is great when it works. You’re taking it better than I would.
I'm sorry you're going through this man. I will say, as an old guy now but also someone who in my 65 years only purchased six new vehicles (one used one when I was 19) in my life, as I am not one to put a lot of miles on a vehicle, and purchased exactly ONE Dodge in my life. I've had F150s, SUVs and a couple cars and currently have a Tacoma, and I'd never, ever purchase a Dodge ANYTHING ever again. I bought my Dodge car brand new and it was junk within the thirty six thousand mile period. I swore off them forever. If Dodge made a bicycle I wouldn't buy one. I hope you get it resolved sir.
My dad bought a Dodge ram during the recession back in 2009. Nobody was buying anything, but he was in the market for a new truck as he's a contractor. He got a good deal on the truck and they gave him a lifetime warranty on the engine. It's actually been an incredibly reliable truck. The engine finally gave out and just had one replaced for free. No questions asked. The dealer my dad bought it from tried to buy the truck back from him a couple times for about 5 years after they sold it to him. They'll do anything to get those trucks out the door when they aren't selling.
I had a Ram 1500 from 2001, that was the last good body style they ever made, I'm more of a Chevy/Ford guy, but the 1994-2001 Rams will always have a special place, they seemed to be pretty reliable and mine wass well over 200k miles before I sold it after buying an 86 Silverado, make sure they are manual transmissions though, the automatics were notorious for issues, and I'd never buy a Dodge car, the Dodge Neons were lemons
It’s honestly a hit or miss with vehicles, you can either have a reliable truck or a truck that’ll leave you stranded. My point is that it dosent matter what brand truck or car you have you’ll always experience very similar problems.
😂👍
Not true. The pre 2022 Tundras are bulletproof. Heck a 24 year old 2000 tundra still goes for 8000$ with 400,000 miles. Those trucks are very reliable. Nothing compares quality wise. You generally do not see these problems on Toyotas. Nope
Check engine light also goes on when your transmission celluloid sensors needs replacement/tuning. It happened with my ram truck.
Honestly man I never though I would say it but the L5p duramax seems to be the king of diesels right now
My first house cost $82,000 in 1992. No way in hell I'm paying that much for a truck.
And my parents paid $30,000 for a new house in 1972. No way am I paying $30k for a new truck either
I own 2 rental houses that I bought cheap and remodeled and they didn’t cost $83,000 combined
The truck makes me more money than those rental houses though
That's how I measure my vehicle buying. I paid 42k for my 3 bedroom house in 85 in a nice part of town. Won't buy anything over that price.
Buy a descent used vehicle for 20-30k put aside 20k for possible fixes your still 30+ ahead
@@exxxz1999I’ll never forget that my biggest financial mistake was being born so late😂
Until fairly recently, the past 10 years, Trucks were rugged and meant to be beat up on the job. Now seems that they are a luxury car that you don't want to ding up or take to work to get dents in it. All my friends trucks in the early 90's were tough, full of dents and you could fix all of them yourself, not anymore!!

I spent $23,994 on a 2013 1500 Hemi truck with 11k miles on it. I’ve had it for 9 years, clay barred and waxed. It still looks new with 147k miles. I can’t justify spending crazy actual money on new trucks. This is the best purchase I ever made. It is still valuable today.

Big fan of hearing people waxing and clay bar their 10+ year old car. Nothing makes me happier than seeing 'older' vehicles on the road that still look amazing
In 1993 I bought a dodge intrepid (first new car I ever owned) - the transmission died just out of warranty (about 38,000 miles) and at about the same time an oxygen sensor died and my AC condenser - all out of my own pocket. The car continued to have lots of problems. Finally at 90k miles the transmission died for the second time. I bought a Honda Accord and left the dodge at the Honda dealer's and called Salvation Army to pick it up. It still looked nice and drove well (when it drove) but I was thoroughly disgusted with it and donated it. That was the first and the last chrysler product I ever bought - NEVER AGAIN!!!
That 93 honda probably still running tits!
I agree 100%. Did they give you a 35,000 mile warranty on the trans? Ridiculous. Most trans can go 200,000 no problem. Yes Chryslers are crap. Never again

The E brake must have been engaged! 😂😂😂 I have the same truck, many issues but not that one yet…
good question for SONNax
.. looks like line pressure improvement options are available.
I worked for Chrysler for 42 years. Now I've been retired from them for 12 years now but I still converse with colleagues that still do it. But the way it was done back then, you took the transmission apart and if the repair was more than 75% of the cost of the transmission it would get replaced. Under 75% it would be an in house repair. The biggest problem now is that there used to be great techs working at the dealerships years ago, today it's hit and miss. Don't get me wrong, there are still some good guys out there that give a sh!t but for the most part they have parts changers. The techs that can diagnose and do a proper repair are overloaded with work. I don't know where the automobile industry is going to go with this. For the most part the younger crowd doesn't want to fix cars and trucks, they just want a pay check for being there.
Ask em a drivability question, and the first thing they wanna do is let's plug in the scan tool.
Oops does it tell you the gas tank is empty?
Yes, I had a 2021 Ford dealer, Tropical Ford location worker, gen Z type get confrontational, angry over my 2005 Ford Crown Vic LX sedan. Apparently, it's obsolete 😏 & "he can't get any parts or fix old cars". By the way, I put it in Ford Quick Lane oil change 🔧. 8hr. 8! ⌚️
I once told a shop that all they had was techs and no mechanics that's what is wrong with shops today
As a teenager I rode around in a 56 Dodge car I recall it had around 140k miles. It ran perfect and the push button automatic transmission was great. I don't recall it ever going in for repairs other then regular maintenance.
> For the most part the younger crowd doesn't want to fix cars and trucks, they just want a pay check for being there.< Democrat instilled "values" ....everyone's a victim for this or that and should stay at home and collect a check from the gov't
My brother-in-law bought a new Dodge Ram one time. Within three months the transmission went out. He traded it in right away for a Sierra. He never had one problem with the Sierra. He said he'd never by another Chrysler product. Me, either. I bought a commercial Dodge van for my business. It was constantly breaking down. It was the most frustrating vehicle I've ever owned. A good rule of business that Chrysler should learn is that if you produce a good product, customers will tell ten people. If you produce a bad product, customers will tell twenty.
Go away
And these days they will tell, as in this case, 73 Thousand! So far. Can’t pay for advertising like that!

Its really tough to buy a reliable truck these days. I worked at a gm dealership as an apprentice for a bit and the amount of new trucks that needed whole transmission replacements was crazy. Lots of pushrod issues too. My dads truck had the serpentine belt snap at 15k miles due to a faulty tensioner.
ok but a serpentine belt is 40 bucks and 5 minutes install

I also have an Excursion with a 6.0l that is bulletproofed. It looks like a 2016 F250 Limited (converted) but retains all of the older, proper running engine and drivetrain.
Keep these vehicles serviced and they run well with very few problems.

$83,000 for a truck is insane, especially when it's more of a computer than a truck. My 1975 Ford F-250 with a 390/C6 has been totally reliable for the almost 30 years that I have owned it. I will never get rid of it. If I remember right, I paid under $5000 for it.
With inflation that's atleast 14 grand in today's dollars. And I'm guessing it was around 15 years old when you got it. So it's about what you'd pay for a well maintained 15 year old truck today.
@@KONEIL1775 The difference is, a 15 year old truck wouldn't be anywhere as reliable or as easy and inexpensive to keep going as mine.
@@geraldscott4302 nearly anything diesel before emissions equipment (2010-11 ish) or v8 gas with a 6 speed will be as or more reliable than your 1975 F250 while being many times more capable... your towing capacity is practically a modern truck's PAYLOAD capacity, lol. A light duty is miles ahead in capability and gets double the MPG. Hell, modern HD get 50-75% better mpg. Nostalgia goggles are good and fine and I'm sure you've got an amazing truck, but you're grossly exaggerating reliability claims to justify having your old truck, which needs no justification.
@@sly9263 Yes but I don't really need anything more than my '75 will do, and it doesn't have a computer on it, plus it has that wonderful Twin-I-Beam front suspension that you don't have to constantly get aligned. As for reliability, it has been EXTREMELY reliable in almost 30 years. I had the engine replaced once, and the transmission rebuilt. I am not afraid to drive it coast to coast. It's one big negative issue for me is it's ridiculously bad gas mileage.
That 75 will be around for a looong time. But for truck usesage there's no replacement for the modem truck capabilities (if they stay running). Hell, my 21 F150 4x4 w/ the wimpy 2.7 EB can outtow a mid-90s 1-ton pickup & get north of 20 mpgs doing 80mph w/ a leveling kit and 34s (Or just about equal)
As my auto parts girl said one day, “Ram trucks are our biggest friend”! That tells the whole story!
I have a 2004 Dakota V8 with 351k on it that I drive daily. I see nothing but Dakota's on the road too. Dodge isn't what it used to be (atleast anecdotally)
Any vehicle nowadays is built just as cheap as the toys we bought for our kids in the 90s
When I clicked on this video the commercial that played was a Ford truck commercial that says "Built better" 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Built better until the timing chain fails
From the mid 80s to the late 90s I was a landscape contractor, during that time I owned several trucks. From a Ford F600 to several Dodge pickups they had 1 thing in common they all had New Process 435 manual Transmissions. Not one failed me in pulling skid loaders and hauling tons of crushed rock and dirt as well as tons on outdoor construction materials. As well as commercial snow plowing in Minnesota. Very simple as far as electronics go back when trucks were for work not entertainment. You need to decide if you want to work or be entertained. Buy the heaviest duty truck you can and stay away from the toys. Spend the money on drivetrain and suspension strength not gadgets.
I am in a state of frequent fury over the lack of options for serious people with modest needs. Blame it on algorithms run by the industry. They plugged into the toy market audience for sure.
It's because manufacturers TELL you what you want, and people swallow it. My wife, the other day, said it's time for an SUV. I said why. She said safety and cargo room. A little bit of research showed that our 05 Sonata is decent in crashes and actually has more room (and visibility, and leg room, and towing capacity) than modern shitty SUVs. Way less electronics too.
I personally prefer my 87 Pony, carburetted, manual choke and points ignition. Dead simple car.
Our 04 Xterra, manual, had close to half a million when we sold it. Bad decision.
Man, I hope you have a warranty on that thing! My ‘16 Ram 2500 ate up 6th gear on the freeway last year.. Month an a half in the shop and $8500 later (which thankfully my warranty covered) it was back on the road, only to be back at the service center a few weeks later for the Valve Body then taking a s**t. I absolutely loved that truck, but holy hell, it was problematic!
Maybe the gas padel itself. I had a similar problem with my enclave. Bought the padel for $100 and changed myself. No one knew what that problem was
I’ve had good fortune with my Rams. I currently have a 2022 bought new, 2018 Cummins bought new, and 2001 with 6-speed. I previously had a 2003 2500 I bought nearly new and kept 16 years and a 2014 my wife put 180,000 miles on before it died in a wreck. Axle bearings on the 2001 and 2014 eventually wore out and started howling, and other than that none of them have ever visited a dealership. Now I’m religious about changing differential oil, and that’s it. I do drive very conservatively though, and keeping a small fleet gives me the ability to do my own repairs on my own schedule. The dealer lube tech changing your oil after 3 bong-rips will do your rig more harm than good. Welding exhaust and differential work are about the only things I don’t tackle myself.
