There are ZERO head gaskets for the 2023 Dodge Demon, anywhere on Earth. The Car Wizard did a video on it recently.

Yeah multiple brands have had the soy wire harness rodent issue, its been going on for awhile.

I found out I had to watch for gas spiders when I bought my Mazda6. Apparently there's a species of spider that is attracted the gasoline smell coming out of the evaporative vent lines and they'll build webs blocking the holes and lines, restricting fuel flow to the engine. Apparently the earlier gen3 Mazda6 models had this issue and were recalled by Mazda because of it.

Of all the critter issues I've seen with vehicles, I never expected my car to potentially be party ground zero for a bunch of fucking junkie spiders.

There was a class action lawsuit in Canuckland about that and Toyota had to replace a bunch of frames.

What year, and I assume it rusted out from winter corrosion?

My '07 is still holding up, but we're (un)lucky to get even a light dusting of salt in the winter.

Sure, but all of the parts are boutique components from small machine shops or are custom, niche orders from parts retailers. The supply is low in relation to demand so the hobby is expensive, despite the simplicity of the components.

It’s under warranty and the dealership will only use factory parts.

More likely trying to turn him into a new car buyer!

Yes, chewed wires can be spliced, he is just tryna fuck with Ford. Male Karens exist.

I want to get one decent sized truck. And just keep it running forever. Put a million miles on it but it still looks decent. Still has stereo ac and cruise control.

Ford is not the problem here. Your overbearing government is the problem.

Over computerization is a problem in all new cars actually all cars since $2, 000 and actually several in the 1990s. The problem is instead of simple circuits with switches they use computers to switch something on and off and when those computers go bad as they do there are no replacements.

These computers can run your fuel injector they can run your electric windows going up and down your electric door locks. Most car since the 1990s have a computer inside every door to run the electric door locks in the electric windows because just having a wire put power to the motor is apparently too simple.

If you want to keep it going what you have to do is rewire it with a simple wire and a switch and a fuse. You just have to bypass all the damn computers.

It's crazy but if you want to save a vehicle that would cost you maybe $50.90,000 to replace and would cost you at least 10 to $20,000 on the used car market to replace then that's what you need to do.

They're even aftermarket fuel injector computers now that can usually be used on many old cars with fuel injectors. Now of course if some states DMVs find out that you switched it they won't pass it but there you go.

Of course you could move to a state that doesn't require DMV inspections or emissions inspections but that would require you to actually think about the governments about where you're going to live.
