Diesel Emissions

In newer year of diesels the emissions standards have risen very high. This drains power from nearly all engines, for the simple fact that the emissions has to go through many filters before it exits the tail pipe.The year of 2008 in dodge with the 6.7 has had many problems. The filter clogs up easily and to clean it out you have to drive the  minimum speed of 65 mph. This truck would be terrible as a ranch or farm truck. because you hardly ever drive 65 unless you drive on the highway. When the filter clogs up and stays clogged it will eventually start you truck and everything around it a fire. There is an after market add on to by-pass the filter, and after you do this you will have a sustainable truck.

Dodge after Market add Ons

Dodge after market chips are only good if they are name brand, this is beacause the computer chips dont match up fully. The exhaust system can also cause bad back flow and cause over all engine damage to your truck. I f you want your truck to be loud and fuel efficient you should leave it stock unless you get your exhaust through Bullet Proof Diesel. This company can make your truck strong and reliable, as well as worth your money. Thanks for your time!

Family Ford Diesel problems

I have experienced Ford diesel problems first hand. My Uncle has a 2005 FORD F-550 6.0 diesel, and he has had nothing but trouble with it. He delivers cattle supplements with it and begins his day by starting it to let it warm up, but one morning he started it and as he walked away it suddenly died. So it set for awhile until we got it into a mechanic, and it turned out that the low pressure oil pump went out and stripped out the threads holding it in place on the engine. Two weeks after being fixed and running good the same thing happened and we are just going to fix the truck and sell and get rid of the head ache. The truck was very useful while it was running, but just a pain when it wasn't Thanks Again!

Dodge

The best years of dodge were only a few years ago, because of the 5.9 Cummins! This engines has its problems in its years but has pulled through to fix the ,mistake and make room for new ones. The engine has all the power you would want stock, but after market add on s may prove to add more. This making the engine more powerful in the long run . These add ons can also cause problems with the block, and cause major to minor or catastrophic problems. Many trucks on the road today have these after market parts on, and their owners push them to far and end up ruining the engine or causing failures. If owners would just leave them stock and not push them to far the motors would stay in good condition. Thanks again! 

Fuel Problems?

Some mechanics say that they have seen a large number of fuel injection systems come in because of bad fuel. Bad fuel can clog the fuel filter and infiltrate the injectors or even the inside motor itself. This causes injector failure and in some cases engine failure. Water can pass through the fuel filter and case problems, and when I say this I mean a huge catastrophic..Any other problems should be looked at by a professional or a dealership," Thanks for listening"

Other Ford Diesel problems

The ford 6.4 liter diesel is a fairly good engine but has problems that can lead to catastrophic effects. The re-generation set up is the cause of the turbo failures and other problems. This re-generation process pulls the carbon particles back into the engine to go through the combustion process once again. This process cause the filter to get clogged up and cause pressure back-up into the motor to cause large engine failure. You can avoid this if you catch it in enough time by straight piping the exhaust so that the filter is out of the question. Thank you

Chevy Problems

Chevy's main problems are coming from after market upgrade and performance modules. Problems also come in from overheated aluminum head gaskets then a dramatic cool down, this would scrap the coating off the head gaskets this allows combustion to leak into coolant passages. This also leads to undue pressure in the cooling system and engine oil contamination. They have also found some bad information on cracked injectors and high engine temperatures.http://www.ehow.com/about_5985935_problems-duramax.html

Dodge Diesel Problems

The Cummins 6.7 liter diesel in 2009 has had many problems manly concerned with the heads, this happens because the smog requirements create to much heat to bare for the rather terrible engine. Some people say that Dodge dealerships around the nation are typically just trying to get 6.7 's through their warranty. You may hear problems like these in many trucks, but most of the trucks turn out to be a good truck after you get it through its rough stages of problems.Go here if you do not believe the facts I'm throwing at you! It is a very good site on how owners feel about their trucks.   

Motors and their problems

The Ford 6.0 was only made to pass emissions tests and to beat competing vehicle makers. I t has its problems but other than those problems it is a good engine.The motor has to have an (EGR) which are prone to clogging due to build up of oil and soot. A  failed EGR can cause high coolant temps and can contribute to coolant lose. There are a few more problems with this engine, but if you get by those you will have a reliable and strong truck. If there are any other problems here is a sight to relate to for your trucks problems. http://www.internationalpowerstroke.com/6.0_problems.html
