East Central Ia | We don’t seem to have great luck keeping gas trucks long term. It seems around 150k miles give or take and we have expensive lifter, cam shaft ect issues.
We keep trucks a long time, 10-15 years minimum.
My son is graduating college this spring and coming home to farm.
I am looking to get a different truck and hand mine down.
I am leery of a gas truck over the long haul but its crazy what this stuff costs now. It looks like a diesel is 10-11k more than a gasser.
I don’t need a diesel as we have several others for heavy work. Its mostly about longevity.
Will a newer gas engine hold up?
Talking about newer Ram 2500 trucks specifically.
