What to do??

[Kingofthemountain83]

I've never had a Dodge as a daily or something that needed to be reliable... Just beaters and yard cars and trucks... Most my friends that I can recall having a Dodge diesel truck newer then 2010ish regretted it... I only buy Chevy or Ford for the road...

My last Dodge RIP was a 2017 and was a very reliable truck.  It was totaled which is why I had to buy a new one.

A friend had a 2016 Dodge... After the 3rd time he took the dash apart in 2 years to replace something he put a for sale sign in it and went back to a Ford... It sucks when the good ones get ruined... I know this isn't a diesel but I had a 2002 F150 FX4 Lariat bought used with 2300 miles and drove it till it leaked more oil then I could keep in it... Finally parked it at my parents in 2023 with 423000 miles... Replaced damn near everything suspension myself, tranny under the extened bumper to bumper warranty... Best truck I ever had... Might rebuild or put a crate motor in it...

My son had to put his '05 Ram in the shop, getting a new engine as we speak. In the mean time he bought a used one a bit newer with manual tranny. Sounds like as soon as the 05 is fixed he's going to put a for sale sign in it. I think it's the 2500.

What went wrong with the engine?
