Dodge Ram 2500: Multiple Complaints

[@PontoonGrandpa]

All the repairs needed on that truck are exactly why so many 10+ year old vehicles are just sent to scrap here in the northeast. Majority of people just don't want to spend $3-5K to fix their old vehicles as parts start to fail. These videos are fantastic to help diy'ers keep their older vehicles on the road. Many thanks to Eric O (and the boss, Mrs. O) for keeping us entertained and informed

Yes, total repair please! I don't even own a Dodge but I like to see how stuff comes apart and goes back together again! And of course, those brakes were trash too! The owner would THROW AWAY $10k in depreciation just driving a new truck off the lot, such a wast of money!

Eric, you're a good man. Honesty has become a rare commodity.

[@mikemaccracken3112]

I had a customer who owned a 2003 GMC 3500 with a Duramax that he beat the daylights out of on his farm and airport. He came in and said go through the truck while he was away. We pretty much found the same issues you found on this Dodge. The bill was $6500 to get this truck repaired. So I email him the estimate and he said do all the repairs. He comes in and I go over the invoice and he said I trust you and thank you for getting the repairs done. Also had many Horse Farm owners who didn’t care what it cost and just wanted their trucks repaired.

[@AKJeeper]

I've had customers do the same - they argue that the bill is easier to swallow than the payments on a new or lightly used truck...and I can't disagree with them. Sometimes it's more comforting to keep and repair something you've owned a long while (or, since new in cases of my customers), than it is to buy used with an unknown history/track record.

[@robc8468]

Many Farmers are millionaires spending $6,500 tax deductible to fix a truck vs repairing one of those $250k John Deere tractors must seem almost literally like chicken feed.

[@AudioSpaceGeek]

@@robc8468 you know very different small farmers than I do, apparently. Being a millionaire on paper because of land, equipment, and herd ownership doesn't equate to being liquid. Many small farmers won't see squat until they retire and sell off the farm, and that's if they are lucky.

perfect and clever diagnosis Eric O as usual.and please take us along when you continue repairing this truck.

[@rhkips]

I see this sort of situation a lot with these big diesel work trucks. Buying one new can be $60k-$100k depending on your needs, and they hold their value in resale fairly well, especially in areas where a truck like this is more a necessity than a luxury. I've seen people drop $10k-$20k on extensive repairs without a second thought. If your tool makes you money, it's worth spending the money to keep it in good shape, especially when you know it's reliable and gets the job done! :)

[@naknakacknak]

I'm blown away. Your experience and diagnostic skills are amazing. I like that you just don't start replacing parts. I'm considering driving from Haddon Heights, NJ to your shop for repairs. :-)

Well he gave you a valid reason for fixing it. $60,000 for a new one versus 3000 in Parts Plus your labor. It's a bargain for beating up on the farm. Great Diagnostics as usual. When you started on the taillights I started thinking how it's a ground fault! You're training me well! I'll be honest I slept my troubleshooting skills Slide the last few years. And want to work on things I haven't paid attention as well as I could to details. Watching your videos have motivated me to do a better job when I'm doing my little things around the house and improved my troubleshooting skills. At least it's getting him back to where they were. In my field main frames, I could give you a run for your money and then some. To be honest with you if I got you as a young man your first computer job in a Mainframe environment yeah, I give you six months and you would be kicking ass. I've trained some really dull sporks over the years and got them for they could at least operate the system somewhat competently. You would be breaking it down like I could very easily. You would develop a feel for how a systems running very quickly. where the hell were you when I was training people for Mainframe environments?

Great info on diagnosis. You always do great diagnosis. On this I agree with customer, fix the truck. I believe customer felt confident you are the real deal. Honest and specific about what problems were. You didn't waffle on what needed to be fixed. Confident mechanic equales confident customer.

[@TheTheomax]

As always Eric's customers get treated with respect and honesty and in return he gets a green light to fix the ole farm truck and she lives to see another day or how ever many miles it took to get here. I agree with the owner about fixing the Big girl when you look at replacement verses rolling the dice on a rather big repair bill. I know for a fact I would either have it fixed or fix it myself and keep her moving. I don't know what it is but I really enjoy watching suspension work and being able to see the front end work this baby needs would so cool and with Eric doing the job is the icing on the cake!

[@wyattoneable]

I appreciated the throttle action using the scanner. Also, the fact that more than one scanner is needed sometimes. It makes it hard for us DIY guys to keep up but the statement was interesting just the same. The customer and I have something in common. I also looked at new trucks and decided to keep the 05 Chevy for the same reason. See you soon.

[@mrpeter887]

We got Verus pro in the shop and it's my favorite, but it gets kinda weird when doing older OBD2 vehicles, like from 2000 or so. It likes to kick you out from the test (ex. when you force canister valve to close) after 20 seconds or so, or says there are no codes, even when "stupid" scanner for $10 that shows only the codes have no problem reading the car. Usually I borrow old scanner from one of older guys. Those things don't go further than 2005, no wireless, no touch screen, etc. But they work perfectly fine. As far as I work on cars I'm set, but like you wrote, DIY guys don't have it easy.

[@rickh6963]

And this thing is just a farm truck, what would a brand new truck do on the farm that this one can't. If the truck lasts a year it will be cheaper to repair it than to buy new. Drive it till the wheels fall off.

[@wyattoneable]

@broomsterm Oh yeah, he paid big bucks for that Snap-On. The cost for non professionals can not be justify. I have 3 Autel scanners and I just purchased a $100 scope, but that's about all I'm willing to do at this point. At least until my skills improve.

[@EntropicRemnants]

I put some small rare-earth magnets on the back of my "pocket oscope" and that is really helpful.

[@andypsunshineisle5655]

I think that you will find that zip ties do not qualify as a farm repair ,fencing wire or baling twine are definitely the main weapons of choice. What you did to the rear connector is an expedient repair until it eventually fails and then it changes to the status of a bodge job. Great to hear you explain your thinking through the steps to cover the possible angles before the customer gets the good news. Compared to some of the undersides you have shown us previously that truck looked pretty solid . Belated best wishes to all at SMA for the new year..

[@CTSCAPER]

The APPS went in my 02 cummins and it was a long slow death. Like you noticed there would be one spot, around 20 mph, that power would dissappear. The solution was to stomp on the throttle and the truck picked up right away. It was such a random issue that I kept the APPS in the truck for about 8 months until it clearly went wonky. It was a very straightforward replacement, with the manual and no excessive force on the cables that attach to it. My 02 cummins, that was around 35k and has a lot less electronics than the new ones, shows it's age but I refuse to fork out 60-70k for a new truck too. I'll use the wife's Hondoo as a daily driver and the Dodge for trips to the dump and whatever else comes along. Love the tip that if all the lights go wonky it's a ground. I'll carry that with me the rest of my life.

Eric- on two of my own EFI cars, had the same problem. We used to call problems like these "Repetitive Motion Disease", where anything that moves wears out. You're exactly correct about that TPS. It's that "driving range" of travel that wears out. We used to see the electronic carburetors with worn throttle bushings, false air, making for rough idle and no top end. A person's wrist can have the same problem; Carpal Tunnel syndrome. I would also smoke test that engine- especially being a diesel. You wouldn't sink all that money in it- but other Folk have their rationale, too. I'd love to see you make a miniseries out of this. 30 minute parts, 15, 1 hour, whatever it takes. "Farm Truck Resurrection". Wipe out the whole laundry list. Think of it this way- your Expert labor here, will be "paying it forward"; the Customer already has the money- they just need someone competent who won't waste it on shoddy repairs, or squander.
