Keeping up with the maintenance on these motors will help. However, leaving the motor stock is not a guarantee to avoid problems when dealing with the 6.0L powerstroke. There are many modifications that can be done to prevent problems.
Replace the stock oil cooler with an aftermarket oil cooler...
2007 and older Cummins > 2007 and older Duramax > 2010 and older Powerstroke
2007.5 and Up Cummins = 2007.5 and up Duramax = 2011 and up Powerstroke
For the true break down of stock motors. If your into modding, then the equation changes. LOL.
That's a 6.4L Powerstroke. Solid engine if you delete the emissions (Being in Cali, thats prolly not a good idea),ticking time bomb if it is left alone. This motor and the 6.0L powerstroke are the reason for the fractured relationship between Navistar (company that designed and built the...
I've said this many times. Unless your loaded and like to blow money, if you don't have the basic skills for a diy maintanence items, VW is not the car for you. Stick to jap cars that are more forgiving and less expensive to maintain.
Oh I know when I had the GTi I had issues with it. I just pointed out one of the common issues with the 4.6l. I'm not a fan of the overall design of the motor. The motor is larger and heavier than the 5.0 it replaced despite being all aluminum. Things like that.
The motor I'm driving is either...
I always had a fond place in my heart for the fox body. I personally won't tough a mustang that has a 4.6l in it. Sorry, I like my sparks plugs not being ejected from the cylinder head. See it happen on my cousins 2001 Gt. Drove it home from the dealership out of state. Got home and bam...
No I have not, unfortunately. The design layout look very similar to my 2008 Sierra SLT. It has updated knobs for A/C and a touch screen radio/nav. Little more color. GM was still into the green back lights in 2008. But everything is in the same spot on my truck.
"As we established last year, the rest of the Ram 1500 is class-leading in just about every other respect. Ram Boxes are still the best thing since pre-sliced bacon. The interiors are thoughtfully laid out and the controls are designed to be intuitive and easy to operate even while wearing...
Honestly in the 1/2 ton market it goes like this.
1. F150
2. Ram 1500
3. Sierra 1500
4. Tundra
6. Chevy 1500
Only reason I put GMC in the middle is because they tend to have more refinement over the silverado as far as comfort features are concerned and they have slight differences that make...
