Its been real...

I am 6'3", and there is lots of room in the Countryman. Which is sort of the Maxi Mini.

 

Wow.... I'm not really sure I would have said that.

 

Well no one has ever accused me of being politically correct.........

 

You sir, are politically correct.

 

+1 on my count.

 

Bye

 

My boss's 2010? 2500 has been in the shop for 6 weeks in the past 4 months. First time was a blown turbo. 4 weeks continuous at this point with a seized motor.

You dirty post whore.....

 

it is a 06 quad cab with the 5.9. Owned by a 70yr old man.
The motors are great...yeah the trucks..meh for the shell and parts...its a truck and im gonna use it like it...will tow my boat and things much better than the v6. Still love toyotas and always will.

 

My 05' 2500 was the biggest pile i've owned. At 120k it needed a full rebuild and injectors..

To sleep well tonight don't do a google search involving the words: blowby, white smoke, or oil leaking from drain hose.

 

not too worried about it. Already have check it all out and drove, etc. Took my buddy who is a big cummins / diesel guy to help me check it all over.

I am pretty mechanically inclined myself.

 

You would have to pay me to use a dodge daily, and i still wont give up my taco. Good luck with that, and there will be a spot back when you realize the mistake you made...

 

luckily for any long road trips where i dont need to pull anything, we will use my wife's tahoe.

 

oh ill always be a toyota fan. I pretty much like all cars for the most part.
Heck i still regret selling my last toyota I had. That was a 94 fully built singled supra that I built myself. I kick myself all the time for that one, but it was replaced by my current Vette Z06.

 

Good luck, I was on the third trans in 70k miles on my 06. The 48RE is crap!

 

The 48RE 4-speed trans in these trucks from 2003-2007 IIRC, is one of the worst transmissions ever. Mine was slipping badly at just 45K miles, but to be fair, I ran an Edge tuner, along with a few bolt-on's on the truck from about 12K miles to 56K when I sold it.

The 48RE also has a clip or snap-ring that is about a $20 part that fails between 50-100K miles. The kicker is you've got to drop & crack the case to fix this.

Best thing I would do, is plan for a full aftermarket trans rebuild. Worth every penny above any other mod you can do for these trucks.

 

I would have the crusher at the top of the list. Anything coming from the bailout bandits is garbage. Put it out of it misery and crush it. A lot less pollution that way.
