Too bad we cannot reply to that thread !
I drove a New F250 for the company I worked for in Ft Mc oilsands
What a Joke
6 major problems in 3 months / 18,000 miles
1]The trans quit shifting into 3rd so it would shift 1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2 - 4
2]Transfer case quit shifting into 4wd a small wrench was displayed on the dash .... no worky ! I drove into a valley on ice roads & could not get out either side in 2wd , I was 6 hrs from civilization & could have been there for a day or 2 before anyone found me , fortunatly after numerous attempts I got out the side I came in from & i had to drive 3 extra hours around to get where I was going to !
3] Defrost quit clearing the windsheild, it was ok for 3 weeks then bang 1/4" of frost on the inside of the windsheild every morning , you had to scrape the inside while driving & would not clear the frost for hours afterwards , this put me into the ditch the first time driving on a 2 lane highway & lost visibility instantly , gently nursed the truck to the side of the road so I would not hit oncoming traffic , the ditch pulled me in & 4 wd was usless to get me out , stuck for 4 hrs .
4] the power steering quit , , it was intermittent for a while so you never knew when the steering would lock or unlock so I ended up in the ditch 3 more times when the steering would lock going in or out of a corner . Eventually it quit entirely !
5] the truck would optomistically tell you you could go 600 kms on 130 lt tank of fuel but after 100 km it would drop to 400 km , 100 more & it was less than 200km to empty , it never went more than 250 km on 130 lts so about 5.3 MPG , I was in constant danger of running out of fuel . The company had 4 of the same truck all averaged the same milage
6] the radio was intermittent so it was on for 10 seconds & off for 3 not a big deal until you are living in the truck 18 hrs / day !! All 4 company trucks did this also & when I took it to Furd they told me that they had never heard of the problem LOL
Back to Cummins Rams for me

 

We need to go back to the Less is better as far as electronic goes!! !Fly by wire, electronic power steering, things too numerous to post. Newer tech is not necessarily better.. Just cheaper to make

 

so why are the Furd ads on here ? they think we are stupid enough to buy their garbage ?

 

Its the people at the ad agency. They pay to run ads on forums and don't care which forums their ads land on for people to see. I've talked to the host about this multiple times and they've gone back to the ad agency. It usually last about a week and then goes back to the way it was.

 

My E-350 box truck has eaten 3 alternators in 130k miles, but solid otherwise. Best van I've ever run was a '94 Ram250, though. Went to Hell and back in that van and it never complained. Dodge no longer offers vans, and Chevy is out of the question, so whatcha gonna do?

 

the Sprinter is awesome as a van !

 

yeap i loved my sprinter van it was well thought out.

 

you know why can't we start our own thread!
