They will try to up-sale the shit out of you. Best discounts until then.
I’m curious what pulling a Hemi means?

The 5.7 is pretty common to loose a lifter snd destroy the cam. Also exhaust manifold bolts. Same for 6.4 but much less common than 5.7.
We got a 2023 and couldn't be happier. The 10 speed is awesome, comfort is next level and the turning radius is better then our old bronco we had.
Yeah the Ram is a real looker
same truck as a decade ago.
I’ll say the same for the GMC. 10 speed and creature comforts/build quality are excellent.
Why change when you're winning? Seems like it should reflect in a lower price but I guess not .Yeah the Ram is a real looker
Winning? That’s subjective.
Especially the 6.0.

Ford had an interesting spark plug problem…they either came out on their own or wouldn’t come out at all. I’ve always been baffled how a manufacturer could take such a simple thing and fuck it up to such epic proportions
Those V10’s go forever though.

2017 Ram 1500. Did the exhaust manifolds at 80k miles. They are do again now at 155k but I've been holding out. The real Hemi issue is the lifters. The stupid multi displacement crap causes premature failure. I have somehow managed to avoid that for a long time, but it finally happened. Getting repair quotes now to see if I want to fix it and keep it, fix and sell, or just ditch it as is....
Truck is clean and still the nicest truck I have ever owned. Bought it used in 2020 with 38,000 miles on it. Only issue it has ever had is the manifolds and I had to replace the water pump. Always serviced, and tows great for a 1500. Definitely a tough call. Fix it and keep it knowing that things are bound to fail at this point. Or shell out $80-100k on a new diesel. I'll keep you posted.
Cam and lifters shouldn't be too expensive at the right shop, but the bigger question is - how bad did it eat the cam? If you caught it quick and stopped driving it, the motor is likely fine (unless it damaged a lifter bore) and it didn't pump metal thru the engine. If not . . it may need an engine. Easy way to check before you spend any money to tear into it, would be to have a UOA done on the engine oil and also have the filter cut open and inspect the filter pleats for metal. Whoever cuts the filter open needs to make sure they use a proper cutter and not a grinder - the grinder will just send metal into the pleats inside and the inspection will be useless.
Checkered flag....
Avoid that place like the plague. They will get you in on the price and then upsell the shit out of you. I walked out and bought a vehicle cheaper at another dealer without all of the BS.
RUN AWAY FROM THEM. I walked out of that place after an hour. no one could give me a straight answer, speaking farsi to each other infront of me pointing to the truck i had selected. buddy bought one online from them, had it done, went to pickup and they jerked him around for 2 hours trying to get him to sign for more warranty and there was a bunch of other BS with his transaction. i know a few guys who got took to the cleaners at their service department. i bought from Tuttle click in Irvine, painless.
That is a nicely done up truck. Perfect IMO and useable once fixed. If rebuilt have them ditch that DOD system if possible.
Update:
. Still
