The computer glitches to start.!
There is no excuse for the crap.
I will say Ram is the absolute worst.
My advice is to buy an older international 4200.
They are under CDL
They are plentiful, you can get them 4x4 if you look hard.
No computers.
Utopia
Never again will I buy another American pick up.
I have had Semi trucks for years.
Many With over 800,000 miles on them, they have never be down as much as my Ram.
NEVER.
Some years of Fords are way horrible as the Cab has to come off for quite a few operations!
They should have at least built them like a " Cab Over" so it could be jacked up.
The Duramax- I read of endless and expensive injecter problems....
Did i say go get an old International 4200?
That is the answer.
I've had no issues with my 2000 Ram 2500, 158k and going strong. I would never by a Toyota/Nissan or whatever for any average to heavy use. They're all grocery getters at best. Ford and Chevy after the early eighties are garbage IMO. Hard to beat 5.9 Cummins.
