I honestly wouldn't drive it.. if it is something that's fixing to let loose, finding an engine shop that could rebuild what you have might be cheaper than buying a entire new block.. but, I haven't priced either thankfully!
Welcome, hopefully your "knocking" issue is nothing catastrophic. That's proven to be costly out of warranty as @Brady mentioned.
When are you expecting to hear back from the dealer?
Welcome!
Some dealers have great diesel mechanics, others not so much. Hopefully they will find your issue. I'm assuming you're not pulling anything when it's overheating?
I was going to say, would it go down far enough to get the oil out? I used one for my Seadoo years ago because it was such a pain to change! But yes, a nice set of ramps make it a lot easier as you can get more clearance to get under the truck.
Also, I would recommend something like a Ez Drain...
Welcome!
And thanks for bringing us potentially great news.. hopefully that means the legal battle is moving forward and perhaps coming to a close maybe??!?
It states they are still awaiting approval to sell them, but, I doubt if Ram thought it wasn't going to happen they wouldn't build them..
Call it what you want John, but stating your opinion and not welcoming comments or opinions is not what a forum is about. I applaud @GearHead for keeping it clean.
So, lets keep it that way.
A nice ADULT debate benefits all us.
The factory Goodyear's doesn't have the best reputation in the world on the forums. Be thankful you're getting 4 new tires, most of the time the dealer claims it as a "wear and tear" item and doesn't really help the customer much.
I can't say I've noticed it being sudden. But, I had a few modern diesels over the years so I'm probably one that can't say either way.. It's nothing more than any other truck I've had though.
Usually people complain about turbo lag, be happy you have the opposite feeling. :D
Welcome!
Take a read around. A lot of controversy to say the least about that topic. In short, the government has a lawsuit over emissions cheating. Something similar to what happen to VW TDI's. At this point who knows if the 17's will even happen.
Thanks Brady..
I couldn't have said it better.
This thread has been cleaned up, I wasn't online at midnight last night to catch all of this.. :rolleyes:
