2500 class truck

[Clarktar]

I have a 2024 F450 crewcab 8' box dually w/ 6.7 diesel. There is nothing on the road like it...nothing. It's a hauling, pulling and stopping monster. A ton of room in the cab too. However, I still like driving my 2003 Dodge Ram quadcab 6.5' box 5.9 Cummins w/111,000 on it and always garaged...zero rust. That F450 rides better than any 2500HD I ever had, and I've had a few. The warranty makes it worthwhile if you do have an issue so no big deal. Plus, The F450 has the highest resale value for the longest period of time than any truck on the road. Probably because there isn't many built and most need to be ordered and you wait 6 months+.

Big bores and a 450. Get me on your will!

Kidding aside, the 450 in a SRW would be my top purchase if I could!

I got my 2015 2500 crew cab d-max brand new. had 4 miles on the odometer when I picked it up. I now have 163K on the odometer. The first thing to die on the truck was the DEF pump heater. It went out 2x in the first 3ish years. About 3 years ago the 2nd bank exhaust sensor went bad. The transmission cooler lines started leaking. I did an aftermarket fix on those. I'm about to fix a couple more lines. Original batteries lasted 7 years

I have kept up with fluid maintenance, filter maintenance, etc. The truck pulls a trailer wonderfully. I did add airbags to up the payload and ride quality while loaded/towing. I've never said "I need more horsepower". Currently however. I have about 6 emissions codes that will likely cost $4K+ to fix.. I'm looking for alternative fixes if you catch my drift. I won't be "adding horsepower" just need to get rid of check engine lights
