Why are they having sales? Demand lacking for some reason?

I love my 10 speed.

 

The new cost of trucks makes me wanna vomit. Need my 17 with 112k last another 10 years lol.

 

Expect them to continue to increase until they force ICE vehicles off the market. Next in line is a massive gas surcharge as a "sin" tax. Hey it is your faults! They tried it the nice way but consumers simply don't want electric vehicles so you'll not have the choice for much longer.

 

I had a Ram with the 8-spd and the forums would say that your comment is a LIE, lol.

No seriously, the majority of complaints and arguments i remember from the Ram forums were: 8 spd shifts, oil consumption on the hemi, catch can and oil talks, and RUST.

 

replace a whole truck over a part that's under $100 and takes 10 minutes to replace, **** is wild

 

Newer or new? If only newer, couldn't those coils also fail?

Now, I would be worried about a cocktail of non OEM coils that you listed. I think you're better off replacing all coils now with new OEM parts in terms of lowest odds of failure.

 

Buying new or different due to a single fault or the possibility of it is not a promise of trouble-free operation. My new '18 XLT had a battery failure within 60 days of delivery. Batteries aren't the only thing that fails or can fail at any time. My '19 Platinum had a battery failure at 35 months and about 30K miles. It is a crapshoot as to when any component will fail. For those who can trade when the wheels are dirty, good for you. For those of us who watch our pennies, whether by choice of necessity, keep the toolbox properly stocked, and an open mind about doing repairs. I have to admit that I have traded vehicles for no good reason but was waaay back when I had a steady income. Thank you, US Air Force!

Sometime we buy a vehicle, made our personal changes to it, and realize many months later that we a very happy with THIS vehicle. That is the one that never gets old. It is a keeper. There are ones that fall on the other side of the coin too. I've been there.

End of dissertation!

 

Any pictures of the wife?? Is there a reason why you are driving to Denver?

 

Now states are starting to worry they are going to lose money on their gas tax. Washington state for example is floating the idea of making everyone pay by the mile. I don`t know how that is going to work out in practice with a lot of folks driving over the border to other states. Most of the at the pump tax goes to the feds. I wonder how they are going to get their hands in on the milage tax. You know that they are not going to lose money.

 

Alabama’s EV fee is $200/year which is about the same as the gas tax on a 25 MPG automobile for 21,000 miles. EVs get screwed.
