As a previous owner of a 2007.5, 2014 and a 2020 Ram Cummins I do not plan to own any modern diesel again until all of the emission issues are figured out. With that said none of those trucks ever had any issues but I did spend a ton of time and money on maintenance and driving an hour out of my way to make sure that the DPF filters were clear.

Lol, looks like you downsized to a small truck and small camper.
But you sold the diesel because you are paranoid about issues you didn’t have?

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

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.![[emoticon]](https://forums.goodsamclub.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/biggrin.gif "biggrin")

Probably just frustrated. I would have least kept it until the warranty expires.

Probably worried Ford will loose 3 billion supporting their Lightning product while neglecting their ICE products and uncle joe outlawing appliances.
