    New here, thought I would join to learn and share.

    Purchased my truck new in 2009 and always took it to the dealer for service. After the dealer did some really stupid stuff, three times in a row, as well as find things to do which are not needed, I switched to doing all the service and repairs myself. Use to be an Engineer for Mercedes, so work on the truck is easy.

    I have 140k miles on the truck, other than issues caused by the dealer no problems and it is in perfect condition.

    Thinking about replacing with new, but it is a tough decision. Sad to see the 5.7 V8 gone, that is a really sweet motor. And then it is still in great condition. Thinking about it.

    Welcome! Unless you have $70k burning a hole in your pocket I’d say keep it and run it to the ground!

    Welcome from San Diego.

    You could always look for a low miles '20 or '21 with the 5.7, there's still some out there.

    I didn't want the TT V6 so I found a CPO '19 with 20,000 miles at a dealer near me last year.
