Picking up my new Dodge Ram today

[lehman live edge slab]

There are a lot of the 6.6 gas engines on the road here. I have yet to see a complaint of oil consumption on one.

I do personally know one guy having a little consumption in his but it’s like a qt in 5000 towing his big 5th wheel.

They come in streaks it seems. Over last winter I had anywhere from 5 to 8 half tons sitting out back waiting for a valve body.
Over spring and summer I had probably 4 to 6 3/4 and 1 tons doing the same thing.

They have now finally released parts to us so I can fix them vs a replacement.

Ford has been doing that all along so their wait times were slightly shorter for parts.

For those who didn't know, these were a joint effort between the General and the Blue oval.

70,000 on my 2021 f-150 with the 2.7 and 10 speed. 3:55 gears does everything I need and shifts smooth 99.5% of the time but honestly never had a truck that didn’t do a weird shift on rare occasions. This was to Steve’s g2g round trip from my house 5 mph over with cruise set.

Didnt chevy have a issue with the V8s and when they recalled them they either gave you a new engine and if damage wasnt dont yet they put thicker oil in ? I think 40w

I guess its just 6.2

6.2 v-8 not the new 6.6

I dont blame you, it might be a good time to file some kind of lemon law paperwork at least get and keep all documents.

30 days. I'm documenting all now. This sucks! I'm no longer getting updates from the sales department, but from the Mechanics. Last word, electrical problems are tough to solve and no estimate to when this might be fixed. Truck is in the shop being worked on.

the squeeky wheel gets the grease, maybe tell them you are going to refuse delivery of that particular truck and want a refund.

I hate to make a bluff I am unwilling to follow up with action. I want and need this truck. Only problem is it has problems, and they will get fixed. Only real problem is my patience is being tested.

There’s other trucks at that dealership I bet and if it keeps going I’d make sure I get a different one and or go somewhere else. You haven’t taken delivery yet
