Did you buy the truck with out asking about maintenance history ?
Wannabe tech and stillwurkin Thank this. -
Wannabe tech, stillwurkin and OldeSkool Thank this.

If you haven't already bought it please don't. That is in the first years of emissions and those trucks can be bought cheap. Unfortunately its because they have lots of problems. If buying an emission truck dont get one older than a 13 and even then I'd be nervous. If you already bought it I wish you luck
JonJon78, PE_T, bowhunter67 and 1 other person Thank this. -
Just to give you a realistic view, emission problems can very likely cost thousands of dollars and amount to weeks in a repair shop. The newer trucks are said to be much better although I don't have one so don't know from personal experience
PE_T and stillwurkin Thank this. -
2010? Worst year. Period. Get out of it now. There's a good reason it's cheap.
Wannabe tech, stillwurkin and OldeSkool Thank this. -
How much are you looking to spend? I’m sure something better could be found.
stillwurkin Thanks this. -

Has a burning system.
I don't know what a burning system is. Anyone?
If that is emissions you are referring to, don't buy the #### thing. I beg, plead and tug at your knees, please for the love of all things trucking don't.
It would be cheaper to have a mistress half your age demanding 5th ave shopping by private jet three times a week. -
PE_T and kemosabi49 Thank this.
