I keep telling her that but she is still in love with her little Mazda CX-5.

 

[TKO-ZR2]

It’s just getting questionable if I can trust it.

this is precisely why i pushed the lemon law on my '24. it already left me stranded in the middle of the night with a blown engine 45 minutes away from home on the way to a 195 mile destination that i make 8 or 10 times a year.

can you imagine an engine letting go while pulling a boat on 495 around washington dc during rush hour? after all the crap i've read about 2nd and 3rd engines failing, no way in hell i could trust the truck to keep making the trip.

I guess I spoke too soon about the dealership being good. Now on my third service advisor in a year. The guy that was handling this repair for me ended up quitting. Called up to check on my truck yesterday and found this out. Guess my truck just got put on the back burner since the guy quit. It’s been up there since 12/3.

Finally got a call back today telling me it was ready. I quizzed them about checking my alignment (rework) and he “forgot”, going to be another day before it’s ready.
Good thing we have multiple vehicles, over two weeks down for this one. They don’t offer loaners either, such a crock of shit.

Got her home! Trans valve body replaced, air inlet valve actuator replaced, O2 sensor replaced (threw a random CEL while in their possession) and alignment verified. All covered by warranty.

Fingers crossed this thing will make it another 3k to the next oil change without any issues.

Yay!!!

Sure is nice to be back in the 6.2. I didn’t realize how bad my trans was shifting until now. Buttery smooth.

 

[185EZ]

I kind of felt mine do some strange shifting.
Last week saw a puff of smoke out the one tailpipe on start up and finally said F it.
Got my 2025 Bison today.
Hoping for better luck.

Looking good, enjoy. Right color by the way.

 

[MrScottly]

More work trucks disguised as offroaders....What is it with you guys and white?

 

[DNZR2]

I see they made the switch from grey to white primer.

 

[DNZR2]

Congratulations on the upgrade.

 

[securityguy]

Congrats!

I drive the crap out of both of my ZR2's. The 2500 oil burner has 40k and is still perfect. The Colorado Bison only has 2k and is a month old and has been perfect so far.

Because oil burners are perfect, as are the people that drive them

LOL I have had 6 of the 6.6 oil burners and never had a problem engine related. I have always used Diesel Kleen at every fill up for all of those years.

Ok next comment.

That wasn't sarcasm. We, the oil burning nation, are perfect. Gassers are for girlie men.

I started using that when Cummins recommended it, back when I had my first RAM. I continue to use it in my Duramax. I figgure if Cummins likes it, it can't be too bad.

Now Archoil, to me, just seems like snake oil. Not saying it doesn't work as I have never tried it, and I know guys that swear by it, but I am always skeptical about anything that needs a continuous flow of hyped up ads to promote it, and interwebs fan boys that rub it on their pecker like it's magic sauce.
