LLY Overheat Lawsuit Video

[Mark Haney]

Hi All,

There is alot of goood information on the LLY overheating problem here - this is one of my 'dailing reading spots' to learn more about my truck.

My parents are going to be buying a Super Class C motohome with a Kodiak (4500 or 5500) Dmax as the base and would potentially be interested in the BSB. specifically.

The dipshits over in Diesel Hell are the reason I no longer go there. Who cares what they think or believe, as Forrest Gump said "Stupid is as stupid does". Besides that I have better things to do than listen to the air whistle through the extra holes in their heads!!!!!

Hmm. First time I have seen the video.

Stay right unless passing Chris?

As a prior Dodge owner, I'm not all that surprised even when you don't factor in the OH issue with the dmax. The ISB that you were up against is what I used to have, and as much bashing as the Dodge gets, I find it completely unwarrented sans mentioning the 47re auto. If I would have got the 5 speed, I'd not be on this site! IMHO the Cummins kicks butt. I still miss the ft/lb that that thing could roll on that never seems to happen with the LLY. I know it is there, but it is different, and not in a good way IMHO. However, I bought this truck for the Ally and the crew cab, which has not disappointed. And I understand the point that was being made.

Oil pressure remained higher than I expected...

On my way back from San Diego I drove the same route as Tx did in the Video. There was an ice storm that closed I-10 and trucks and RV's were bottled up and just waiting for the road to open.. In other words the road was packed with all types of trucks and trailers...

There was not a single diesel pickup, pulling a load, that could keep up with me and I was never passed in over 200 miles I did pass all kind of Dodges, Chevys, GMC and Fords though

When my truck was relieved of that god awful fan it came alive! The engine is completely stock and has never had any type of program or chip and now it will never need one!

Swatkins So are you home yet? Boy you sure picked some of the weirdest weather to be towing a big old 5er in. Got to hand it to you, I don't think I would want to be playing with Mother Nature In January with that load. Glad your safe and sound and thanks for all the data you have aquired.

Chris I have been reading your posts on the DG. Very good. I even read the one you posted that got moderated. I'm sure you know which one I am talking about. Your sure have learned to be patient with KB. I couldn't stay silent anymore. That guy is just loony. If you want to read what I wrote you might want to go read it before it gets modded also.

Cheers

I got modded by the "BAC"

I am home Griz..

I have to take the wife to the National Needlepoint Winter Show every winter... It's always in California, Long Beach next year, and I can't pick the weather

I am going to miss that old hill on I-8 but I am sure I can find something good on I-10 west of Phoenix!

I stopped off and had a few brews with Numbnuts this year, Maybe I can hook up with someone else on the road next year

I would love to meet you in person next year. I would have drove to San Diego this year but we just have had so much going on. I guess I'm still playing catch up from being in Iraq for 7 months. Anyway I'm glad you made it safe and sound. Can't wait for your final report!

Oh, you'll love Long Beach! (JK) The convention center is located near the water and marinas, and there's some nice restaurants there. Don't know of a decent RV park in the area, but I'm sure there are some. You'll get to enjoy our LA/Orange County traffic. Let me know when you start picking out RV parks. I'll help you find one in a decent area.

Headed Westbound from Phoenix, you'll only have a couple decent climbs, but nothing tremendous and not too long. You'll have one hell of a downhill into the Palm Springs area on the Indio grade (I-10). Eastbound, on the same grade, you have the infamous "Turn off A/C" signs and climb. It's about 17 miles total, but there's a few spots where it levels off and even descends briefly. Many years ago this was the climb that always gave my Suburban a challenge (55 mph) while towing my boat to the Colorado River.

I'll be glad to meet you next year. I'm only 45 minutes from LB in Yorba Linda. There may be some other Diesel Spot members also. Maybe we can get together for dinner and a few beers.
