If you decide to go with the AT4 I would just stay away from baby Duramax if that was an option.


My 3.0 Duramax had been great through 37,000. It’s a 2022. Everyone I know that has one (5 others) loves it.

My buddy who bought an AT4X at the same time just had to have his 6.2 replaced with less than 30,000 miles on it.

If anything, the baby Duramax is what you want.

Apparently that’s the sentiment until you join one of the baby Dmax FB groups lol. Without having the ability to delete the engine I don’t think I would ever get one. I had considered the Ram Eco-diesel until it got to where you couldn’t delete them. Then they went and added a second EGR.

Was your buddy’s 6.2 a lifter issue still? I really think Ford screwed the pooch with their cylinder deactivation. Long term tests will tell I guess.

I have a 3.0 duramax too. Great fuel mileage . 40k miles with no issues. Pulls my boat easily. Fuel mileage does drop off on the interstate driving 75 ish. I can’t complain about a a full size 4x4 truck getting 25 mpg at that speed. I have 5 friends with the same engines. They haven’t had any issues either. Stay away from Facebook duramax groups.
