Well I just up and did it

Five weeks ago I traded it in. I had a 01, 05 and finally the 08 with each one getting worse than the previous one. The 08 I was driving home from the dealer(new hpfp and one injector) and experienced the death wobble for the third week in a row. After the radiator, upper radiator hose,steering box, steering column, new shocks and steering dampner in the last year I guess the 08 wanted more from me again. I knew right at that moment that I had had enough. For the last 22,000 miles there was something always broke or needed replacement. Has any of you guys just given up?

congrats on the new truck. I am surprised that you didn't look at the 6.7 from Ford..but if each is having issues then I certainly understand.

I would have preferred ram...even though the body is crappy I think the front end is stronger then the IFS.

Congrats on the new ride. Post some pics?

I'm hoping Toyota's diesel is ready for US sales in the Tundra before I get sick of mine.
