Mechanic said the starter was a big piece of rust and corrosion. So bad it just died. Ya, she still looks good on the outside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotten oil pan. I got it back Wednesday afternoon and drove it 20 minutes to TSC store to pick up some stuff. When I come out of the store and hit the key, it won’t start. Got it towed back to the garage. The starter rotted out. Got it back this afternoon. $1400 week. Lol Got towed by a GM. How embarrassing. Is that the truck you rebuilt last year or sometime ago?

I can understand a starter failing but a rotted out oil pan? That’s lame, I don’t think I’d ever own a Chrysler product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought it knowing it had a rusted out oil pan. Grampa truck with just under 100k. Spent most of its life In Iowa.

The f350 2006 with 247k on it has a stock oil pan , exhaust , starter , alternator. The 2015 f250 with 68k on it will be needing an oil pan and cooling lines by spring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pay around 15 - 20k and it leaves a lot of extra money for repairs that will never exceed the difference.

Once again, that’s just idiotic, an oil pan should last at minimum 200k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I replaced several oil pans during those years. I had one truck that leaked oil from the pan gasket at the rear but the front of the pan rotted out.

The 7.3's had shit pans for some reason. The mechanic told me he replaced a pan on a '14 Ram 2500 with a 5.7 back in the summer. 2 hours ago, Beavis and Butt-Head said: even a guy I know got a 85 ramcharger with 318 in it still on his original oil pan so yes you got a point for the price they go for nowadays My '78 F150 looks to still have the original pan on it after 700k kms. At least there was no record of it being done in the box of records I got with the truck. Of course, that truck leaks oil so bad the entire front half of the truck is mint....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My '07 F250 with 335k kms still on original exhaust, starter and one of its alternators (I replaced the lower 1 2 weeks ago). 6.0 with original turbo. My '12 F250 needs cab corners. I have it booked at my buddy's bodyshop for October. Likely a leaking 3rd brake light gasket like most Fords.

I worked for an antique dealer for years and 99% of the old furniture we saw was made in Grand Rapids Michigan. And most of that wood came from northern Michigan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
