Hey guys,
Been lurking on the site for about a year and picked up a lot of info here before my purchase. Went into the test drive looking for all the common issues discussed on the site. Even though I found some I still bought one. Picking her up Saturday morning. Thought I’d share some observations from the trucks I test drove. Test drove the second one to confirm what I noticed on the truck I wanted to purchase.
1. Both had the low speed shudder
2 Both felt a bit busy on the street, like I was on pebbles but then smoothed out on the highway. Lowered the tire pressure but it was still there.
I wonder if it was just flat spots in the tires.
3 While I didn’t have any issue with brake feel or engagement. No mushiness. Both had a shudder once it was coming to a stop.
4 Checked the oil after the drive on both and both had the faint smell of fuel.
5 Both had a faint tranny whine
That’s about it. If it wasn’t for this forum I wouldn’t have bought one. I guess what I’m trying to say is the issues seem common on these trucks. Otherwise the motor felt great along with the tranny. It handled well and felt well built minus the common quirks.
