Annoying idiosyncrasies about our trucks!!

[magnum318]

I have what sounds like a dry leaf that rattles around in the ducts when I have air blowing out the defrost. I'm not sure how I'm going to get it out of there.

The cup holders are the worst! I usually always have a bottle or something in there for weight but if I clean my truck out and forget to close it up before I go drive it annoys me!

My CEL coming on telling me I have a misfire due to a probably bad plug wire that I've replaced twice already

My rear end noise I've had since the day I took possession of the truck

My steering wheel having a little play in it that makes me a likely DUI candidate.

It's the little things that really grind my gears

I get this too! Lol so annoying man... Let's see...
A loud metal on metal clunk every time I go over a small bump. (Pretty sure my CV's and wheel bearings are shot)

Lots of other weird squeaks and sounds that you'd have to hear since I can't describe them.

I get the cupholder rattle only when I'm driving 30 on my crazy bumpy hunting club roads more suited for a prerunner

The loud whine my power steering makes when I turn the wheel, but mostly at full lock

Wish that these transmissions were made better... 2nd prime FTL

Wish my 1500 came stock with a front Dana 44 like the 2nd gens!

Every time I go over a decent sized bump something bangs under my truck. It almost sounds like my bed is hitting my cab but I've checked everywhere to see if there any paint missing or anything and nothing'***** anywhere. No scratches or paint missing and I have no idea what it could be. It freaks me out

I had the same thing in my truck!!! After weeks and weeks of searching I discovered my factory infinity stereo amp was hanging by one screw. Drove me batty!

 

[bronx79]

the turn signal flasher...why does it have to be so LOUD?

Right!!! That thing is loud!! Good call on that one.

Hmm. I'll check that out when I get time today. Was it in a 3rd gen or 4th gen?

In the 05's (I'm going to assume 02-05) you can plug the middle seat belt into the driver's to make the light/dinger go off, but in my 07 (once again, assuming 06-08) they made the middle belt a different size and it wont fit in the drivers. Noticed it this weekend while working on deer stands and only making 1/2-2 mile trips at a time.
I ended up just pluging the drivers in and wraping the top belt around the back of the seat, but thought it was actually kind of funny.

GhostRam- it's something every weekend with this truck but I wouldn't trade it for anything

Magnum- it's the 2nd gens I believe which I'm guessing you have by your screen name since that's all I can see from tapatalk lol

The little electrical idiosyncracies that pop up get me. My turn signals sometimes work opposite of what I want which is funny but could be dangerous. I signal right, it flashes left, and vice versa, or just no flash at all. I jiggle it a few times and it works again. Same with the steering wheel audio controls. Sometimes I push for volume up/down or track up/down and it does the opposite or nothing. Then I rock the switches a few times and it's okay again, might be the wires getting crossed in the steering column?

Another thing, which doesn't bug me but does make me think of what's wrong is when I start it up cold and drive, I hear this spinning ticking sound coming from under the passenger side front seat area, the faster I drive, the faster the clicking and then it will go away completely in about a minute or two. Then next time I drive it cold, it does it again. Loose bearing?

3rd gen

Nah... It's not meant to be harmful to rams!! It's just a little fun about "small" things. There isn't a flawless vehicle out there to speak of. We all love our wives/girlfriends but I'm sure each has its moments that make us scratch our heads. I doubt any of us would "sell" our trucks or wives cause of the items we listed.

Moral of the thread: If it has **** or tires, it'll give you problems!

I would have to say I hate the Infinity system. Sure, it sounded GREAT when I first got it, but now the infinity amp is out and if I don't have my bass on -6, then it's all static for the most part! Annnnd of course, the only way to fix this is to gut it all and re do it. Sucks!
