    Transmission Rebuild not shifting properly

    If it is a 68RFE, they do have a bit of shift flare from the factory. The RPM's go up slightly, 100 rpm or so, during the shift as a torque management technique. Does the tuner also have a transmission tune? I have never heard of a "dead spot" in an IC engine. If the turbo was malfunctioning...

    Issues with 2024 HD 2500 RAM

    The service department motto is “We make excuses, not repairs” is probably a red flag to find a new dealer if possible.

    Issues with 2024 HD 2500 RAM

    Was the tender one of the Noco permanent install types and left installed when taken to the dealer? If so, $5 says they will now blame the “aftermarket” device installed under the hood.

    Yikes! Look What the Dealership Wants For This Easy Service

    Don’t know. It depends on their hourly labor rate and the book time for each service. How much do you think each of those services should cost? Independent shop usually have a slightly lower hourly rate and use non-Mopar branded fluids. Those are common services so shop around and see what a...

    Yikes! Look What the Dealership Wants For This Easy Service

    What is their hourly labor rate? What hours are being charged for each service? Do the prices include the fluids?

    Well this was not nice - computer did a hard reset I guess.

    Iirc, if you don’t respond to the prompt it will assume the vehicle is not being used and proceed with the update. Bad assumption. IMHO it would be better to bring up a date/time selector and allow the operator to schedule the update for when they know they won’t be needing the vehicle.

    RAM Customer Care Nightmare

    Hence why I requested more facts and called it one sided. Never wanted to be a detective. Seems the profession is filled with self-aggrandizing jack wagons.

    RAM Customer Care Nightmare

    The vehicle was designed as a conveyance for people and cargo from point A to point B. Using it as a permanent residence is not what the vehicle or the support infrastructure ( dealership, customer service, parts, etc. ) is designed to accommodate. The 44A recall is for unintended parking pawl...

    DRIVE SHAFT TWISTED SNAPPED IN HALF

    The rear yoke has a pretty crappy looking weld. Wondering if that is indicative of the overall quality of the drive shaft?

    GOOD OR BAD? FLORIDA Service department at DODGE dealership vs general mechanic

    If you are looking for a good independent shop, Willowbend Automotive in Land O Lakes is who I used when I lived thatcarea. Great independent shop with nice folks running the place and competent mechanics.

    Beware of potential scammers. They are out there trolling wanted and for sale ads on all sites.

    Last thing I listed on Craigslist many years ago was a golf cart. One guy wanted to pay part in cash and the rest a trade for two Cockatiels and a 10 pound box of Jelly Belly jelly beans. Just bonkers.

    I quit listing stuff on places like Craigslist years ago. It is just a cesspool of scammers.

    6.7 cummins in limp mode

    If it is throwing codes for equipment that is no longer on the truck, you have 2 choices; replace the missing equipment or find a new tuner and tune to match what is on the truck.
