RE: Ram 6.7 no start
$175 of the $272 is what they charged to check out what was wrong. A rip.
Probably a one hour minimum.
Minimum diag fee. Prevents people taking their vehicle to a shop to recieve the diag and then perform the repair themselves.

I mean... you asked a question here, we ALL answered to check the batteries. You didn't. You took it to a dealership, used the time of a service advisor, a repair tech to drive it in and hook up diagnostic equipment, electrity, machinery, paperwork to write it up, service advisor to call you back, repair tech to drive it back in, remove and reinstall batteries, check it, fill out paperwork, drive it back out, etc.
It costs money to run a dealership. I bought new batteries a year or two ago for less than half of what you paid. You chose the most expensive route, it's really in poor taste to place the blame on the wrong entity here...
At least he came back and reported the issue. Some don't even have the courtesy to report their findings so others can learn.

RE: Ram 6.7 no start
Picked up the truck today from the Stealership. The batteries were $490 and the labor was $272. At least I'm good to go now.
Ouch... $762 Did that include the tow bill?

RE: Ram Cummins/Aisin Failures
Meanwhile, at the Ford dealership down the street, the mechanic has nothing to do. He and the Maytag repairman knock off early to drown their sorrows at the local tavern, and tell each other that something will break soon.:B
Probably worried Ford will loose 3 billion supporting their Lightning product while neglecting their ICE products and uncle joe outlawing appliances.

RE: Ram Cummins/Aisin Failures
That all sucks BUT why??? get rid of it as it will be repaired under warranty.
Probably just frustrated. I would have least kept it until the warranty expires.

The third cummins goes bad. Also Paul does mention snap ring failures on the Aisin transmissions.

RE: 2023 Super Duty 6.7PSD HO Review
I believe every ford I owned wandered or drove. chevman
That was because of the Twin I-Beam suspension design. They were bad on tire wear too.

RE: 2023 Super Duty 6.7PSD HO Review
If I turned my steering wheel as much as he did I would be in the next lane as my steering is that tight.
I suspect the 37" tall sidewall tires has something to do with that.

RE: 2023 Super Duty 6.7PSD HO Review
I've got a '23 high output on order but I'm currently hooked up to a 30,000 lb gooseneck and extremely impressed with the way my '22 handles it. Earlier today I was contemplating changing my order to the regular output.
If I was ordering one it definitely would be the HO

2023 Super Duty 6.7PSD HO Review
Here's a review from a Ram/Cummins fan on the 2023 Super Duty 6.7PSD HO. Don't agree with some of his analysis including it doesn't require cab off to replace the turbo. The 6.7 HO does have a couple of extra cooling lines for the turbo.
Enjoy...

2024 Ford Ranger
Overall nice truck and Ford as usual will struggle to meet demand. The one thing I don't like is the optional side step behind the rear tire will collect rocks and dirt. Also not sure why a mid size requires a step.

RE: Ram 6.7 no start
Hopefully the OP returns to let us know what the problem was and how he fixed it.
Unfortunately many are not that considerate.
It's always good to have closure so others can learn.

RE: Ram 6.7 no start
at this point I'm smelling a troll
Who?
The dude with the dead batteries or the dozen guys telling him he has dead batteries?
Now there's nothing wrong coming on a forum asking a question when you already know the answer. :B

RE: Chevrolet 6.6 burning oil
Whoa, sorry for being a month behind on GMs next years models….lol.
Well good, GM finally pulled their heads out of their posteriors.
Now Ram is the only one left running 100% outdated transmissions in some of their HD models (aka all the diesels).
Actually more like being about 5 months behind, GM made the announcement early in Dec 22 and launched the new websites then....lol.
Perhaps too busy then stirring up the shitpot at the time on these boards....lol?
Lol, nah, you may be mistaking me for someone who watches every YooToob video, actually caring about what the next latest update is….
And no one is raving about the (stock) power of the old 7.3 Powerstroke. At least not in the last 15 years or more. That is a poor comparison by which to make a point.
I certainly hope not ,bought new ,and drove for nearly 16 years a early 99 7.3 Powerstroke . Did a great job on any thing around 10K or under ,after that it fell on its face .
Agreed... We have a 02 7.3PSD and power is not it's strength. Having said that I've read reports of ex 7.3PSD owners who now own a 7.3 gas and reported a much improved towing experience.

RE: Ram 6.7 no start
It only clicks one time. Battery connections are good . Checked batteries with volt meter. Original batteries, 48000 miles. Why would it go dead right away if it was batteries ?
Your 7 YO batteries are toast IMHO. The only true way to tell is with a mechanical load tester or electronic load tester.
The last 4 batteries I have bought for my truck were good one day and bad the next. One time caught me on vacation. :o They used to give you warning but not the batteries of today or the trucks of today. I "think" it's because of the duel batteries in the trucks I have?
BTW I just replaced a 5 month old battery at work. NCNS. Battery dead flat. I charged it up to 12.7 Volts. I thought oh, that's good. Then I did my due diligence and it failed miserably under an electronic load test.
This is good advice...

RE: Chevrolet 6.6 burning oil
If you decide to purchase a new truck I would give the Ford 7.3 a hard look. Reason why is Ford stuck with port injection instead of direct injection like on the Chevy 6.6 engine.
Good luck...

RE: 2024 Duramax Dyno
Impressive... Next would like to see if there's been a fuel economy improvement.Now you are being funny. More power,towing and better economy do not go together.
Speed costs money.
How fast do you want to go?
Not talking about speed. The '20 Power Stroke received a impressive bump in HP and Torque while improving fuel economy. We also seen dyno tests that demonstrated the advertised HP/Torque were understated from the factory.

RE: 2024 Duramax Dyno
Well looks like the 2024 Duramax yielded 18mpg on winter blend diesel. Probably would yield 19mpg in my neck of the woods on summer blend diesel. Assuming there was no regen during this MPG test.
