New Here. Help me decide.

I'm working on correcting the issue. This happens (recently) when characters from non-US-standard keyboards are used, or when a virtual keyboard is used (such as a cellphone or tablet). Until this is resolved, please try to not use any character that is not entered from a standard US computer keyboard. Check that the font selected (upper/left of the forum post/reply interface) is traditionally common, such as Arial or Verdana (this should prevent non-standard key binding).

Thanks for your reply. I probably post on about 5 different forums regularly with an iPhone and have not had this problem.

US PC here old school-but I did quote the OP so may have carried something over?


New to buying used late model diesels: Regardless of the brand or model I suggest having $5-6k in pocket for the first major repair that you may encounter. I frequently see people buy these trucks thinking they are good to go for 500,000 miles and end up parking because they don't have the funds for head gaskets, injectors, transmission, or whatever else was abused in the vehicle's former life.

2011-2016 has become my preference due to the bigger brakes, boxed frame, better front suspension capacity.

Yes, if you quoted the OP. The issue should be resolved, now, in any case.

Excellent advice.

I also urge owners who buy a new truck, and plan to hold onto it well past the life of the powertrain warranty, to create a "truck fund" that'll pay for any of the items in the above list.

An alternative to a savings plan would be to buy an aftermarket warranty extension - for the same purpose. Just be sure that warranty covers the complete fuel injection system and all other "diesel specific" components.
