there is paint problems with the 2nd Gens?? damn, i thought they had it figured out after the horrid first gen paint jobs.

 

i had some peeling clearcoat and i know a few other 2nd geners on here had some issues. i did some google searching and it seemed like a common problem.

 

my truck is a perfect example of 2nd gen paint issues

 

Yea Dakotas are notorious for Hood and roof fade mine is starting to go on small parts on the roof they use crappy primer they should recall it and let us pick what color we want lol

 

U r the only one able to get 20+ on here the rest of us can't so lets just go with the majority gas mileage of 14-18

 

22 is not a stretch. I just drove home from school (220 miles) and I went 65-68 the entire way and was averaging 20, this is driving on a freeway with many steep grades. Once I get into Mass and Connecticut I hardly used any fuel. It's not impossible at all to get 22. Remember you're a auto and got some extra weight on the front Abels. And I'm willing to bet you don't drive 65 on the interstate...

Nobody should be getting 14... Thats like doing 85-90 on the interstate to achieve that. Or you shift at 4 grand every time.

As for common issues, look in the FAQ section. All the information you need is in there, but if you have any further questions we'll be glad to help.

And don't get a v6... especially the 3.9, its a time bomb.

 

ohhhhh no wonder.

 

Suspension, Ball joints, Tie Rod Ends, Shocks, Sway bar end links (if it has it), water pump, power steering pumps are ****, slush box trannys 46re, Clear coat peel, paint peel on roof and hood, rust on bed and tailgate/bumper, Timing chain cover leaks, belly pan gasket (look inside throttle body for oil), calipers like to wear spots in and get stuck check brakes anything else?

 

The "rest" need to learn how to drive then.

I'm telling you guys, just like Obama, "yes you can".

100% gasoline, 55-65mph when you can, accelerate at a moderate pace.

 

Obama said "yes we can" dumbass, and you even trying to quote him is simply pathetic as the guy is the worst president since.... now.

U getting 20+mpg is very doubtful, show us evidence... gallons it takes to fuel up and miles on trip, even then i wouldn't believe u since you can just run the trip longer.
