DODGE PROBLEMS! IS A DURAMAX THE SOLUTION? What would YOU DO?

[@ponypwr]

Almost 300k miles it's going to be something all the time. I would buy the Duramax and leave it stock.

[@mikejohns3104]

I would catch that Dmax up on all of the maintenance (filters, fluids) and make any repairs if needed. Keep it completely stonk and baby it. And, take the key out of it when you park it. 😊

[@jasonhastings5538]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 He said take the keys out!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@HermanMunster-o2j]

My buddy's duramax did the turbo thing like the dodge BUT a sensor that changes the pitch was bad so easy fix👍

[@mikejohns3104]

Well he did leave the keys in the OBS the craque edd stole...@@jasonhastings5538

[@billbong156]

That's a sharp truck. I don't think you could go wrong buying it.

[@ericszatkowski6001]

😂😂😂😂😂Love the parity of the Supra exhaust!!!😂😂😂😂

[@mikealkarout9555]

I started a Tow truck company in 2011 and I have had every kind of Diesel truck from the big 3 and I can tell you hands down nothing even comes close to the reliability of the GM Duramax with the allison trans. The Fords were a nightmare with engine problems,one problem after another. The Dodge with the cummins the engines were okay until the bolt in the grid heater breaks and destroys the engine. The Dodge transmissions were very weak ,had replace a few and the Dodges had a bad habit of cracking flexplates especially while towing heavy loads.

[@51-FS]

I have drove menny Kodiak werckers with that combo. And I drive then hard.... they are tuff set ups, I used to think the fird 7.3 was the best.... I have blown up 3 of the 7.3...

[@51-FS]

I'm glad they sarted making the Kodiak again

[@Josh.Watkins]

just delete the grid heater and make sure to plug it in for the winter, problem solved

[@freedomfox8183]

​@@Josh.Watkinsyeah when your warranty is up you do that when it's not and they void it ask me how I know that was the reason they used I couldn't have my transmission replaced when my transmission blew under warranty because I did that fix to the grid

[@justingonzalez9854]

My 6 yr old was cracking up at that south park bit. 😂😂😂 He just happened to walk out here

[@darrensaunders3694]

Your brother is right about the cummins being easier to work on. But I'm also from Ohio and I know how hard it is to find a clean unmolested diesel truck. Personally I couldn't walk away from it because you know it's properly maintained and it's not some hillbilly race truck.

[@rustloversgarage]

I told you guys in an earlier comment.....scrap the dodge for parts and keep the dirty max. I faced the same decision and have not regretted the change 285k miles later

[@jeremysessions8810]

Mr Bill you will be a happy fella in that GMC with the duramax! I’ve had several of them. Yes you will have issues here and there but that’s going to be the same even in a dodge! I’m sure you don’t want to hear this but bucko is right when it comes to diesels. Maintenance is key not to mention you are a GM guy. You just would not look right riding around in a Dodge all the time lol.

[@freedomfox8183]

I run a tree service and we've had many of the big three diesels and currently have fords 550 with dumpbox and a Chevy 6500 to pull the chipper when you're using them to tow heavy every day of their life maintenance and breakdowns are inevitable but the new Fords seem to have the most minor engine issues nothing crazy yet but Chevy has been the least expensive to run and maintain... Gave up on dodges because the cost and transmission issues and flexplate problems it had gave me more than i had time to deal with... Traded it in on the 6500 and never looked back, but it was by far the easiest to work on and problen solve on the chevy and ford are so crammed in there I'd have to think they take the cab off when they do any kind of major work are you be taking out everything just to get at minor shit half the time ... Basically what it comes down to is what you like and what you want ... They are all nice trucks and everything has its own drawback but having over a quarter million miles already I think buying that Chevy especially since you know where it came from is the smart move for yall... Where else are you going to find that nice of a Chevy where you know the history like you do on that one...

[@terrenceadams3481]

Hey Bill! Now this video is just the way I like em. All about family!!! Good to see Miss Vicky’s smiling face. Such a nice lady. You got a lot of projects going on.

Who else thinks tannerite has saved the old man a whole bunch of grief and gray hairs? Old man even has a different level of swagger now. Hell bucko looks even happier and that never happens.

[@glennn440]

I think it’s a certainty its sold after Bill gets a look once the detailing is done. Should have gotten A dmax from the start!

[@glennn440]

Bigger culvert - 4 foot diameter would be problem solved- bridge not pratical for long term solution

[@tryme4990]

Bucko is working on a dodge and wants to get another??? Lay off the devils lettuce 😂

[@timtaylor3393]

Duramax all the way. I've had the Cummins and have a Duramax currently. The Duramax serves my needs much better.

[@BUTTERY-APEX]

Does anyone else think Paige and Buckwheat where a match of attitudes made in heaven hahahaha Glad your feeling better old man love all ya guys.

[@whitehead9040]

Love what your doing man, keep it up. That duramax is the way to go. I've had 2 now and have put 300,000 on both.

[@tnross23]

I’m still a 5.9 Cummins guy but my buddies are 6.7 Cummins guys and one of the many tricks they use is they keep them running is they hardly ever turn the exhaust brake off. They use it 95% of the time. Keeps the veins free I guess.

[@michaelcuff3418]

Awe! Let him buy the Duralax! It ll give us Cummins guys a good laugh for the year once he starts really towing with it!

[@docshotrodnhobbies9019]

Mr "sliding in Jackie's dm's" is worried about a French guy🤣🤣🤣

[@swift__]

If it’s a work truck it’s Cummins. For us…Every brand has their issues and every brand is “expensive “ it’s a diesel so unfortunately it comes with the territory. So long as you keep up on maintenance ( which isn’t bad ) and you address the “issues/faults” of any of the brands, you’ll enjoy whatever mfg you pick for many many miles. With all that said that’s a damn good looking 3500 Bob has there✅ 🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@nathandumeney7601]

I feel like the duramax would be a great addition to the fleet. It would also show what truck would be more user friendly and durable. Plus you deserve a nice going to town rig.

[@jonathonchalk6603]

The new shop is looking sharp. One thing at a time, I get it, but you might want to put on your wish list to install a couple those little round exhaust trap doors at the bottom of the garage doors and snake an adjustable exhaust hose from whatever vehicle you are working on through those openings to keep the fumes outta the shop.

[@jbrayda9]

I would much rather own a duramax. But at my job, we use only powerstrokes and they get used and abused everyday hauling heavy equipment and idling for long periods of time, all while a bunch of idiots run the crap out of them and they seem to last a good while. But If it were me, I would still get a duramax lol. Keep up the good work brother. Love your videos!

@12:35 thru 13:05,, you said it Bill. Most of we 'elders' (I was born 1947) know very well what you're saying bud. I can't even remember how many times I lay in a gravel driveway in the dead of winter, in the snow pulling a starter, a trans and on one occasion doing an junk yard engine R&R from a sweet '62 Polara (wish I still had it) so's I could get to work on Monday . Yes,, you, Miss Vicki and the kids deserve that NEW shop and all the comfort it will provide in the upcoming years. Hoskinson Family - TO THE FRONT! 🙂

[@kennethchapman9564]

Bucko adds humor to already very entertaining videos, him moving Molly's car was a hoot. Bucko is correct though about the Duramax diesel and being a lifelong Ford guy and an owner of a 2015 F250 Super Duty Diesel 4x4 I can verify that the Cummins by far is the easiest to work on. Being diesels they all cost a bit to repair because you can put higher mileage numbers on them than any gas engine. Is what it is but the Cummins is definitely easier to work on, older design and not as fuel efficient but is a good diesel. Looking forward to seeing what the nova can do with new powerplant. Is it going to be on boost or the bottle? Go fast and be safe. God bless you and your family and friends.

[@mfd4505]

Loved my 2006 LBZ/Allison. Towed a 35’ camper all over the USA. If you buy it, delete it. Put a secondary fuel filter system, like the FASS. I added a 90 auxiliary tank that fed into the fuel filler neck. Best mod I did. Keep the filters changed and use good ones.

[@charleybetts1053]

Ive been getting to bed a little earlier and what a nice suprise to wake up to!! THE BEST CHANNEL / GARAGE / FAMILY ON KZbin!!!

[@d.j.9961]

I would love to know how I was unsubbed? My guess? I do a lot of walking & getting up & down with boxes at work working for a large retail home improvement store that rhymes with Know's. I am usually the 1st one on vehicle repairs & maintenance but, not having a garage & this frigid weather in O.H. is killing me. I have to install new fuel, & return lines, front half shaft, serpentine belt tensioner, plus, I ordered all new brake components when I did my brakes last! I realized that 1 caliper is sticking, so I ordered everything new from lines to pads. I primed & painted the calipers & centers of the rotors. You are blessed do to all of your hard work & family ethic. I am stressing the freezing work I must do!

[@feff5717]

My buddy had two duramax's eat themselves while pulling, one was turned up the other was stock in a roll back. Sold both after 22 grand on replacement engines and went with a cummins and never looked back. On another note i spit up coke through my nose when bucko got in the supra. Great editing!

[@justinb363]

Had a hotshot company for several years. Cummins left me hanging multiple times. From the junk transmission that you can't bulletproof to the body control modules. Only issue I ever had out of my 5 Duramax rigs from 2014 to 2019 was with the DEF DPF. Absolute only issues. That 13 GMC has the most comfortable interior out of all of my trucks. Dodge was second. Duramax hands down in my opinion. Only thing you will hate on the GMC will be when the passenger side head light goes out. It is not a quick bulb change. However you guys could whip it out pretty quick. I suggest a FASS Fuel System, will help since you guys travel so much and you have no idea where your fuel will come from. Anyhow, my two cents. Love the channel and those classic muscle cars!

[@jasonbose3507]

WOW 😲, MR. OLD MAN IS OLD SCHOOL COOL!!! He improves the items that he borrows before he returns it back to the owner. Because "I am" old school too, I do similar kind gestures to show gratitude!

[@jtcoker2684]

As far as pulling trucks go, I have had all three. Seemed like the ford had twice the power of the Chevy and the dodge. We tested that theory pulling a 450 dozer, not even close. I now have a dodge 2500, 22 model. Everything seems good on it but the transmission makes me a little nervous with how it acts. I would stay away from def fluid if at any way possible. That’s a bunch of garbage. Great video man, y’all rock!

For a back up tow vehicle, my vote would be for the gmt800 platform with the 8.1 gas with the Allison transmission.

[@rachalhollier5679]

The gmc duramax is actually a good vehicle. A family member has one and uses it to pull a trim carpenter trailer daily and all we modified was the passenger inner fender well so we could maintain filters,lol. Also was lifted 3”-5” and a front leveling kit with backup rear airbags for when he pulled the car trailer or 30’ camper to get rid of the bucking. Never had an issue with suspension that’s for sure.

[@obezzyjohnson9680]

Ppl try to talk shiiiii all the time bout GM bcuz they just love them a dodge or ford n just don't like when ppl bring up the GM into the deisel world bcuz they know that When GM come in there that it's gonna be on top bcuz GM coming to play n to take over the game for sure but ppl just hated that shiiiii when GM smacks em in face wit that big boi DuraMax truck they knew it was trouble on there hand right then.

[@rachalhollier5679]

[@jaredspear8140]

Bill I’ve been wondering if I was missing videos or been unsubscribed. Guess not! You guys have gotten a lot done. New lifts look awesome! As far as new diesels, they all have issues. I’ve owned three in last four years. Everyone one of them comes down to fuel or exhaust issues. Good thing is Buck-O seems to know how way around them so finding whichever one is easiest to work on is probably your best bet! Buck-O is correct, maint is absolutely the key cuz they aren’t getting any cheaper. Still kicking myself for downgrading to a half ton!

[@burtcmcalpine]

On the Cummins make sure the exhaust brake is always on either full on or automatic (both loaded or unloaded). This makes sure the vanes are used all the time and do not get build up and hang open or closed. For next time or everyone else. Geno's Garage (great place for Cummins parts not a sponsor) has a a new aftermarket actuator, stronger and no calibration needed, much cheaper than a new turbo if your is still good.

[@jamescopeland9147]

I had a 2007 ram 2500 with the 6.7 Cummins, I loved it. I bought a 20153500 Duramax because I could not find a used ram to purchase with the desired options. I would have liked to stay with the Ram because of fuel mileage and durability. I never had issue with my duramax but just like the Cummins better. Bill you have to change the fuel filters on those motors more often than most people do. I did oil at 5K and Fuel at 10K or every other oil change. I never had a fuel related issue in 150K on my Cummins. Either truck will give you good service.

[@rpsmotorsports1]
