How many miles have you racked up? Any big complaints?
07.5 69000 miles. Only problem I had was a glow plug and a tranny cooler leaking at the fitting. All covered under warranty though. Has a banks exhaust and intake other than that been a pretty good truck. Thinking of selling though I just don't drive it enough thinking of a 1500 gasser. Idk..
The tranny cooler fittings are notorious for leaking. Almost never get them to stop.
I don't own a Duramax but everyone I know with them has been extremely happy.
I guess so if they gave me a brand new tranny cooler instead of just replacing the fittings:thumbsup
58,000 kilometres, no issues. awesome drivetrains, very well thought out. Clean fuel is the key to life on any common rail high pressure system. these engines in the newer ones run at a max of 29,000 psi and dirt is going to cause fuel system issues. The ones i personally see at the dealer with issues are tuned or neglected of course nothing is perfect but if left alone and maintained the chances of issues are much less. :thumbsup
I would like to get a Ford Truck with a Duramax/Allison transmission in it.
2007.5 great truck 34,000 miles. Anyone wanna buy it?!?
2008 dually 4x4 with 187,000 with EFI Live set on #3, egr Blocked, trans-go Jr, 65gal, gal fuel tank and 45gal, in the bed. Pull 40' toy hauler tongue to rear, 16,000lb. and it's the wifes daily driver.
On my way up to Sata Rosa, (up north) From my house in Plamdale, I stopped at Harris Ranch went 204mi, full of fuel 110gal, plus 500lb in bed. on 9.2 gal.
and I filled it with 2 cans to check what went in. 20mpg.
I don't think thats bad.
Only thing was inside door handels peel, replace under warr, and pass, hud had a recall, all fixed and all is good.
avg,mpg just running aroung 16mpg.
04 112k. Being a mechanic saves money. New hubs, steering componets, and water pump a few thousand miles ago. Lifted since day one. When you guys change steering componets add a good steering stabilizer. The tiny stocker doesn't dampen crap causing alot of wear.
My truck has been lifted since 2000 miles and have replaced both hubs and ball joints easy to do. As far as steering components I went with the Cognito pitman arm and idler supports when I lifted it. They help alot when your running 40" tires.
Can you recommend a good place to have the extra fuel tank installed?
Our Toy hauler is 18K GVW. Hope it's power is at least equal to or better than the 8.1 gas we're towing with now.
