Cute note left on my windshield

Factory design, in short it’s a cheap piece of shit that will fail if not eventually.

A couple of guys including me got in contact with a radiator company named “Entropy” and had a full aluminum radiator developed. It is still being built so when it arrives there will be some talk and opinions about it.

I spent a total of 1700$ with shipping, I’m doing all the labor myself.

Many thanks for that info. Gotta say, my enthusiasm for this truck has lessened with the knowledge that it has a faulty driveshaft, plus a faulty radiator.

All vehicles have their issues, nothing is built with quality and care these days and it’s sad.

While I somewhat agree with that, this truck's issues are beyond acceptable if you have to replace major components and spend perhaps more than $6000 to fix them. I have never had a vehicle that had this many issues that could affect the long term reliability or drivability. I was aware of the clunk before purchase, but had hope as RAM was releasing "fixes" to it. Now with this radiator issue, what are they going to do about it? Nothing unless they are forced to I surmise.

Then its a bad time to mention Water leaks and frying rf hubs, water pumps, suspension calibration, bad grounds, batteries, loose passenger fender upper bolt on some, missing dash screws ect ect.
Every make and model has issues. Could be worse, some VW engines run $9,000 plus for a water pump, more for a starter. Blame the engineers, lowest bidder contracts, strikes the list goes on.

At least it wasn't the notes I used to get back in 2004, on the windshield of my new Hummer H2.
"You are fucking ass hole, who is killing the planet" (kinda made me smile)
So much misguided outrage and hate...

Epic! I actually worked part-time (including driving their SEMI and Long Beach Grand Prix/Hummer Happenings dealer events) for SMA Hummer. A shame they became the era poster child (the H1 started the crescendo).. as the H3 Alpha and future H4 were heading the right direction! The stigma of the 'Farmers Rebate'/tax break for business owners also contributed (but sold a F-ton of billet accessories).
