So I asked about this in the other forum and basically got my head bit off but... if a person has a fully deleted and tuned truck (especially one with weak main bearing/crank setup) wouldnt it be better for that person to run an offroad or racing oil with more anti friction protection and better...
the door sticker was for the stock 4 ply goodyear tires.. its no good for aftermarket tires. The tire itself usually states the max pressure ... often people go like 5psi under that for comfort but it depends on use.
In regards to the newer generation of th ecodiesels being just as unreliable as the older ones, I really would love to know where all those failures are reported because I just went back through like a year and a half on the third generation ecodiesel section on the other forum just because it...
I guess this is another one of those main bearing failures after 70,000miles I was told werent common... On a serious note this really sucks to hear. but my guess is you wiped a main bearing when you passed the car. On the statement of diesels lasting 4-500,000 miles,
I think thats limited to...
My guess is something like this... https://www.ebay.com/itm/162723504169 mine had them too and in fact I replaced them with these very bags when installing the lift springs since one of the old bags was damaged. these decrease the sag when loaded down. not really for lifting the vehicle just...
I was referring to this statement. I dont agree with it. IMO the main bearing fail when they fail.. Typically when the crank has flexed one too many times when the conditions are right to spin the bearing. This is influenced by a lot of things including but not limited to, oil, use, rpms, load...
Yeah they did something wrong. I would go back to the dealership and show them the keys arent fully functional... Especially for what they charge. your the first person Ive ever heard report this sort of thing. BTW your not supposed to have to use the "metal" key to start the truck on a normal...
I disagree with the statements that failure rarely occur after 70k... I see them reported with mileage all over the place. plenty around 100k as well. that said there are a lot of possible triggers for this including new owners and different driving habits as well as uses.
When you say "key fob" do you mean the type that goes into a hole in the dash like a real key or just a wireless fob?
I have a 2015 tradesman an it also only came with one key fob... I bought these...
I bought a 2 pack for $18 shipped from ebay.... programmed them myself with Alpha OBD and a $12 elm327 OBD adapter in the driveway which has paid for itself like 5 times over now with all I was able to do with it.. Most dealers will try to push for you to pay the $300 or so for a key through them..
It seems to be the luck of the draw as to which dealership you go to. Many look for any excuse not to cover work. If the warranty is up though your at their mercy.
Until they officially acknowledge this engine has a major QC problem in the bottom end which doesnt seem likely at this point...
