    2022 RAM 3500 HO Cummings Aisin transmission trouble.

    At that point keep track of the shop time and lemon law it. There really isn't much else one can do.

    Rear-end Issues Again.....

    We used to have a lot of issues with rear differentials if pinion and ring weren't spaced just right. Bearings and seals would then fail all the time. GM, Dana, Toyota, all need attention to detail from the mechanic putting it together. As you discovered, finding the guy (or gal) with the...

    Ram 1500 vs. F-150

    Two issues there; 1. The dealership's inability to diagnose the problem, and then getting stupid about it. 2. The attitude of the Ford rep, although her ability to say "the F-150 is not made for towing" with a straight face is impressive. :jawdrop: In the end, it was a defective catalytic...

    Question for V6 8-speed owners

    So no occupant classification sensor? You're right, that's bad. Well folks, this has been enlightening, thanks for clarifying all that. Looks like I'll get that Tundra.

    Question for V6 8-speed owners

    You make it sound like we're keeping the kids in the front seat the whole time, which is quite the assumption to make. Given the crash ratings it would take a Ram truck off the list to consider. NHTSA has given the 2013 Ram crew cab warning flags, see 2011 & Newer - Search Results | Safercar...

    Question for V6 8-speed owners

    That is my hope. Shift to neutral while in motion is sometimes necessary though (say on snow/ice), and that happening by accident could also have an undesirable outcome. Of course, column shifters aren't necessarily better in this regard, and I am sure kids, dogs and flying sandwiches have...

    Question for V6 8-speed owners

    It's your opinion. You're aware that most vehicles have occupant classifying airbags that shut off automatically when there isn't an adult in the front seat, and have had them for years? Google it. Besides, there aren't any airbags for the front center position. Anyways, thanks for your...

    Question for V6 8-speed owners

    We're getting a crew cab. But we need seating for 6, and putting the kids in the middle front and rear, while least safe, is most comfortable, and legal in most states.

    Question for V6 8-speed owners

    So we're looking at ordering a Hemi with the 8 speed and a bench seat. The concern is that if we theoretically have our three year old with the child seat in the middle position and he works the dials and switches his feet, he could work the transmission knob. So my question: When the vehicle...
