He had it to the dealer multiple times and there was nothing they could do other than tell him to take the plow off when not using it. That’s all fine and well if you only plow your own driveway, but it was a work truck.

i think alot of this has to do with maintenance and lack there of… my truck has 100k+ on it have 2 friends the both have 115k+ and 140k+ on their 2500hd’s with no big issues except for things caused by adding power or oversized tires and not compensating for it. every company has good and bad trucks but i believe its how pp use/abuse them as to how they last. not fighting for either side cuz i like this ecoboost motor seems like it would be nasty for a 150!
