2012 Ram 2500 Laramie Longhorn Limited Edition 4dr Mega Cab 4WD SB (5.7L 8cyl 6A)

First of all, when I bought this truck brand new in 2012, I loved it. For 93,000 I drove it around and honestly didn't think there was a better truck on the road. I bought the top of the line Laramie Longhorn Megacab 4x4 with the diesel. The engine worked great, and pulled anything. There was an issue here and there, but when you put so many luxury features in a truck, little things are going to break. However, when my drivetrain broke, Chrysler refused to cover it under the warranty, even with the service records. The damage caused was so severe (more than $30k) that my insurance had to total the vehicle. Dealing with the warranty claims department took months, and they were useless.

I have the 6.7 Cummins Diesel. Love the truck. The U Connect is ahead of its time for being a 2011. Horrible MPG with the PDF and EGR system but it's almost completely worth it just for the power and reliability. Need to improve the wheel well design which is a magnet for rust..... same with the frame. For the price of these trucks I think Ram could afford a rust proof frame.

We bought it used with 156,000 miles on it. Fully loaded Longhorn Laramie edition. Other than the backup camera not working, it is very nice so far. The previous owner took good care of it. So we will update once we use it more this year. We have the Cummings diesel pretty quiet for a diesel. Well, we had to put a new front end on it at the six month mark. They figured they used it on a farm and just ran it rough for the front end to give out. Everything else still running strong. Going to Grand Canyon from Washington State and back in April. Hopefully it will keep going. I am pretty secure we should enjoy the trip. After trip to Grand Canyon had to replace the drive shaft? At 65-75mph it felt like something was rubbing. I cant remember what they called it, but they did show me how badly that the metal had been worn down causing the shaking. Still running good, Love the interior, but tired of the mechanical issues. Noticed the shimy in the steering wheel is back. Have an alignment done and wheels rotated and balanced. Still there at 70+ mph. Not sure what that is?
