Duramax's are best in the 06-07 with the 6 speed allison, and the better motor with no emissions. A good quality low mileage one will cost you about $30k these days. A ford with the 7.3 is in the same vein, but the rest of the truck is horribly aged. And you're going to spend well over $20k for a good example with low mileage.
I had a 2007 LBZ and ran it 350k miles. It had more issue than I’d care to admit but most were a result of other mods. Lift kit, intake, tune, exhaust, etc. Loved the truck but glad to see it go awa Now I have a 2021 Duramax w/ 10 speed Allison. I’ve got about 67k miles. No problems…..yet. It’s leaps and bounds better than my wife’s 2019.
匚𝕦𝕞𝕞𝕚𝕟𝕤 pickup truck engines provide legendary power, reliability and durability. No wonder so many pickup truck owners insist on 匚𝕦𝕞𝕞𝕚𝕟𝕤 or nothing at all. The 匚𝕦𝕞𝕞𝕚𝕟𝕤 𝟞.7 Turbo Diesel engine is available in RAM 2500 and 3500 Heavy-Duty pickup trucks and RAM 3500, 4500 and 5500 ...
Tacoma. Has a great amount of standard tech and unmatched reliability wise in the midsize segment. 2v 5.4 f150 or i4/v6 rangers/b2300 if you're looking for something cheap. Both are extremely reliable, plentiful, and not as pricey as japanese equivalents. Chevy makes good v8 motors but that's really it.
The injector issue is based around a GM recall over 15 years ago. Swap to SAC nozzle injectors, a good filtered lift pump, and the LB7 is pretty reliable up to 500whp, but that comes with a mandatory build to the Alison. There's a guy on one of the diesel forums, running an lb7, at 800,000 something miles.
Cummins is the most reliable engine, ford is the toughest chassis, and gm has the best (6 speed) transmission and nicest truck all around. They all have emissions system problems. Ford has the most engine problems. Dodge has the shittiest trucks overall. GM is the way to go if you want to daily drive it.
Idk, my buddy traded in his Cummins for a f250 with the 6.2 v8 gasser and he says it’s the best decision he’s made. Gas where I am is $3 flat, diesel is still $4.95 with no sign of going down according to professionals. Plus, that 6.2 is SO much cheaper to fix when it breaks. The difference was astounding.
The powerstroke engines oil capacity is 15Q, 3 times the amount of oil used in a gas truck, and oil change intervals are not extended. Cummins diesels are 12-13Q. Duramax is 10Q. If you go the powerstroke route, do not take anyone's word on bulletproofing, if they don't have hard proof the work was done, walk away.
Ram has the oldest powertrains, but they work very well and tend to be quite reliable. Ram has had a lot of electrical issues lately, however. But those aren’t acting up, the technology works well, particularly the infotainment. My recommendation is to go GM. The 2024 refresh is seriously impressive.
EastAtlanaSantuh. ADMIN MOD. Most Reliable 3/4 or 1 Ton Diesel Truck Manufacturer. I am looking to purchase a 3/4 or 1 ton diesel pickup for work and am undecided as to which manufacturer to lean toward (Ford, GM, Dodge). I will be doing a good bit of hauling (primarily in the bed of truck) and prioritize reliability over luxuries.
