    ecodiesel oil in coolant

    Yea used. 2015 1/2 Limited all dressed out. They declared that it had a brand new engine. If it had been residual oil wouldn't it have been noticed and addressed prior to clearing it for sale?

    Remote Start Issue..

    I've always have been a Ford gas engine guy. I just couldn't deal with the 5.4 mileage anymore and the fact the truck was 9 years young. I'm a cherry to Ram and more of a cherry to diesels. Are there any books for dummy's that will help guide and educate me? or should I just adhere to the...
