Better Title for this. Don’t buy a Chevy ever for any reason. Heartbreak of America
My 2019 Chevy 5500 put me out of business. 150k miles of absolute zero problems then had an emissions issues.. The problem was GM had zero parts to fix it. My truck was down 5 months waiting on parts..
I will never buy another GM vehicle..The other issue is they lock a lot of stuff in the computer so you can’t fix it yourself.
Both very true points
I'm sorry to hear this happened
I would say there's a reason most ranch, rodeo and hotshot rigs are Ram or Super Duty.
Thanks for sharing, sticking to the best 2018 ram Cummins ever built
I guess everything will break. I have had 2 Duramax's with a combined milage between the two with over 800k with little to no problems.
That gives me hope
My 22 L5P has many upgrades w 148k miles, however I’m just now getting ready to clean my EGR system, otherwise it’s doing great. I have heard GM used some new parts on the 24. I don’t trust any of the 3 brands, had one of each, they are just not made strong enough today which is why I upgraded so many parts on my current Dually
Most hotshots I see are either Ford or RAM. Why would anyone buy anything different right?!
Several people have chevys lol
People buy what they like and believe in .
But yes, the other 2 are more popular for hotshot
😆😆😆 my duramax in my 5500 has over 300k and I’m still not afraid to go anywhere in it. I’ve had 3 different powerstrokes, and loved them, but they were broke more than the dmax ever has. Maybe it a maintenance issue?
Get the Cummins engines and put them in the best working truck, then you would have perfect hot shot trucks, super duty 550 s are good, thanks BigAl California.
My neighbor had a Ram 3500 with the Cummins with over 750,000 miles he sold it for a good price and bought another Ram.
Don't take the trucks to the same dealership together either at the same time.
Amazing. I'm very proud of you, 6 trucks. They've got to have warranties. Sometimes, the new vehicles have bugs, they have to work out of them. It should all work out. Be blessed
Well said!
There is a reason why most trucks pulling a rv or hotshot rigs are rams they are the best most after market parts for them they are reliable and easy to work on!
Ford uses cp4 pump and are hard to work on and over priced
Just recently replaced my F350 that got Totaled in OKC Last October. Got me a F250 limited Addition, 6.7 4x4, on my way to Corpus Christi later this week.
I hope she treats you well Bruce
In transport, freedom must be purchased. The opposite is also true. Let me say that differently, freedom can not be earned. It can not be bought. It’s both or die. Money can’t buy effort and effort can’t buy money. If purpose and intentionality ain’t present…🤷🏻♂️
The wrong thang and the right time is still the wrong thang.
There right thang at the wrong time is still the wrong time.
sounds about right!
Great video two more years and meganax 8.3 will be the game changer as always you light me up girl killer attitude awesome smile I know you’ll get them trucks a rolling be safe.
And as I said on our Patreon zoom meeting Sunday, don't buy that one for a few years til they work out the kinks ! But yes we will see how that turns out over time
Great video Natalie
Don't buy anything new enough to require DEF. I bought my 2010 Peterbilt because it's the last year without DEF. And of course, I ran my 7.3 Powerstrokes before that...
Anything past 18 on the Rams, 19 on the Ford is a bad idea. Not sure on the GM trucks. L5P came out in 2017 was pretty solid. Real Allisons left the chat in 2020 so probably 2019 on those too. Then the Covid supply chain shocks hit and the junk parts became a problem. Buying new used to be the safer way to go but now that isn't the case. It's a bigger money gamble on unreliable garbage they wont have the parts to fix. Might as well buy one 4-5 years old and pay half as much. It frustrating. Looking for the perfect truck is like trying to find the perfect house or perfect woman. There aren't many unicorns out there.
Amen to that. Says the never married woman with the 2 unicorn trucks
Had a 21’ 3500 Sierra and had injector issues twice within its first 24k miles, sold it back to dealer and went a 2022 RAM 5500. No issues at all within its 107k miles and counting
Luck of the draw I guess. I know a guy who had terrible luck with several 22 rams he bought as company rigs. Valvetrains went bad because of those hydraulic lifters. Prior to 19 that was never an issue.
Take to the Flint HD plant fir repairs
It's under warranty
Hope you get both the trucks back up and running Natalie. As they are both new hope the dealers will fix what's wrong with them.
Good to hear you are doing good despite this though.
Thanks saskue
Staying busy, just another thing to focus on and overcome 💪
@@HotshotAdventures Good to hear you are staying busy. Also so ture.
you have the two manufactures i your fleet i stay away from do to problems and not able to work on them if something goes wrong , dont complain about chevy get you self cummins and save money n get rid of the stress .
Everyone has a fave I see
You seem to be pretty happy with your Fords, maybe another video will explain why you bought a Chevy? Sorry to hear about all your troubles.
They aren't owned by me
They are my owner ops trucks
I am happy with my ford's
I’ve had rams in my fleet for 11 years .
Chevy has inferior cooling, engine brakes,transmissions and brakes .
Honestly this isn't fair information I have a 2021 chevy silverado 3500Hd & it's been great my buddy has a dodge his dad has a Ford . The dodge is on trans #2 & having regen issues & the 22 ford has blown the intake out twice & he's starting to have regen issues were all 2021s & range from 120k to 150k. My chevy has had an injector plug failure once & one Knox sensor. Bad things happen
I have a 2021 5500 and the only issue I’ve had is hydraulic roller lifters. That is some BS design for sure but that’s all. The 3500’s have had some issues
Just incase you dont know. Ram trucks with the Aisin will be your only choice in the end. The Chevys do great for normal driving but wont hold up to hotshotting no matter what the year is. Ask me how I know. I was a die hard Chevy guy who now only run Ram trucks. The Fords have oiling issues and Ford has designed them to make it through warrenty and most of them need new motors somewhere between 100k to 135k miles. The oiling system is atrocious on the 6.7 and the engines eat themselves no sooner than the warrenty runs out. Dont take my word for it. Do some research. Cant believe noone has told you that you have made some bad investments. Hopefully this helps and you can get them gone before they take you under. I started my Llc 5 years ago and didnt listen to people when they told me to get a Ram. I bought a Chevy. By the end of the year I had a Ram and will never look back. By far the only true work truck on the road. Check out PD Diesel. Good guy. Knows the business better than most. Goodluck to you.
Late model Chevy's are junk. friend had a '20 fuel pump MODULE go out and dealer told him that it would be 6-8 weeks (may be) before they's have 1. He ended up trading it in to another close-by Chevy dealer as it was because he had to have a truck. within 48 hours it was fixed and detailed and on their lot for sale! (Dirty SOB'S)
Oh that was a dirty trick ! It doesn't surprise me though
Don't buy a Chevy EVER!
I agree don’t buy Chey or Ford 😂
🤔
Ram cummins 6.7
Get a ram. Not a Ford or GMC or another Chevy. Dodge RAM
RAM!!!!! CUMMINS!!!!!
Cummins is fine. . . it's the constant front end repairs, the national backorder parts, and the anti-lock brake modules & pumps.
You’re so beautiful. But hey. I have never heard good things about Chevy or GMC . Ford and Ram lots of good things.
Hope are getting rid of the stupid swearing, that will stop ok, thanks , I’m just back on here, this one is good so far, the month ago hauling containers has tons of swearing in it, thanks BigAl California.
When you record, edit and upload my videos big Al, you can have control over that. 😁
I had a 2019 gmc had blown head gasket, injector issues, wire harness issues, started at 175k blew 2 head gasket at 230k never would i buy another gm for work purposes
Yes ! That is so unfortunate to hear
But a true reality
Yes ma'am, that is what made me go local again sold my stuff 2 hotshot was costing to much with all the problems, could not keep steady, trust worthy people in my other..
WHAT ? Really Natalie
Hopefully they did not shear off the pins holding the crankshaft dampner or the camshaft one
Of course it's the duramax. Dodge aren't much better. We don't even buy duramax anymore and replace cummins engines at a rate of 6 per year with repairs in between
Ouch
You are awesome
No

With Stellantis overpricing RAM you took the gamble to buy the better priced GM. Well, GM is still GM and has not been the hotshot truck of choice for a reason. Seems there is only one Hotshot truck company which is Ford.
Once you tow with a Cummins engine break you won't go back
Ya boys like that big noise :)
I've driven a few rams , even took a couple trips with other drivers who purchased rams. 3 trips total.
Wassup
Miiikkkeeeeee!!
Get a Cummins
Not for me
Is a truck or engine of Chevy
Good point
Do you use a factoring company
No
Don't buy a chevy--period !!!!
