Tow rigs?

[Spinalguy]

Ya those old 12Vs are rocks, almost nothing can kill them. Any of the newer stuff with emissions crap on it is more temperamental. Even so if its smoking at all during that 20min idle time you're getting cylinder wash down and oil dilution.  Regular oil changes help alleviate that but over the long/long term it will cause a shortened life span. Although for what you use it for the tranny would probably go first.

Shortend life span has a different meaning when talking about a million mile motor. 

It doesn't smoke, well maybe a whisper but no black. Not noticeable anyways.
Tranny gernaded, i expected it would. 2 faulty installs later the 3rd NEW tranny works great.

The dodge stock autos are not the greatest

I build dodge diesel trannys all the time. Upgraded to handle the power for people

I have another one being picked up tomorrow


Soo keep a budget for tranny if u get one

I'm running a 2011 ram 3500 Laramie dually, tuned and on 33's with rockstar xd rims. This rig used to tow our bogger out before me and my bro both got jeeps.

However she will be getting traded in as soon as dodge let's me place an order for a 2013 in December.

are you one of those guys that has white sunglasses and parks in 2 - 4 stalls everywhere he goes because your vehicle doesn't physically fit in one stall and you think its cooler/more expensive than everyone else so you can justify parking like a douche?

or are you one of those guys that goes out of his way back it into a stall a little further away so its in the lines (or on the lines judging from your pic) ?

disclaimer: i don't really care which category you fall into. to each his own.  i just get fumed off when i goto the gym and theres 30 parking stalls and 10 rig rockets parked all crooked etc.  maybe its an okotoks thing.......

[Skippy]

LOL this truck gets backed into every stall. and shes always between the lines unless it sticks outs on both sides which happens from time to time.

[WK2008]

When was the last time you were at the gym. Probably the same as me, when Okotoks didn't have a Tim's lol

7x a week john   i live there. you can see it, its the maroon old man looking GMC quad cab parked in between the lines lmao.

just grinding your gears skippy,  theres a guy with a dually at the gym, i swear its lifted and on like 40s. it doesn't even come close to fitting anywhere.
literally parks right in the middle of 4 stalls. when i had the TJ it was no big deal, i could still park behind it lol

Yep cam phasers. Sometimes its just worn out/broken chain guides or a failed cam phaser but in our experience much past 200,000kms if it starts acting up and the phasers and chain and guides are all good its only a matter of time before that engine in coming out. At that point switching it over to 15w40 buys a bit of time, but not a lot.

When bought filters by the case from Ford and have the correct oil in bulk, didn't make much of a difference. Mind you our trucks operate in the worst conditions. High dust/dirt environment with lots of idle time.

Ok gotcha. The truck we're looking at is an 08 with 65,000 KMS. Now I'm not sure if it's going to happen. Seller seems really shady about it (kijiji) We live 5 hrs away, and are planning a trip to go look at it. He's since re-listed it for double the price he was asking.....

I am selling mine, if not check our airdrie chrysler they are way better priced than other dealers in calgary.
