    8 speed clunk?

    To add to my previous post, I also now have video evidence that Larry H Miller Avondale did not actually do anything to diagnose this issue. According to dashcam video, the tech drove the car around the block, never actually trying out the braking as I had explained. He then drove the car into a...

    8 speed clunk?

    I finally had a chance to take my truck in this morning to check out this issue. The dealer told me it is normal. When I tried to argue, they told me to pound sand. So Larry H Miller in Avondale, AZ gets the big middle finger from me. Lets see what another dealer has to say.

    That stupid chrome -center console

    Go check out the paint department of your local Lowes or Home Depot. If all you know about spray paint is what you've seen at an auto parts store, you are missing out.

    Warranty, added care+ vs max care

    Care Plus has a list of the items that it covers, just over 800 of them. Maximum Care just has a list of the items that it doesn't cover, namely maintenance and wear items, paint and body and lenses. Everything else is covered. Care Plus plan info...

    IOS 8 and UConnect not compatible

    I upgraded my iPhone 5 to IOS8 and had no problems. Everything functioned exactly as it did before. I now have an iPhone 6, everything still works the same, with one pleasant surprise - with my iPhone 5 if I had the charging cable plugged into the charging-only USB port in the console, then...

    8 speed clunk?

    But this is not some minor annoyance. With my truck it is not subtle at all, at times it is a very hard clunk. I have had multiple people ask me why I'm braking so hard. When I tell them I'm not, well, sorry to break it to you, but they now think the Ram might be a piece of shit because of...

    8 speed clunk?

    I am having the same issue everyone else is describing. I haven't had a chance to take it in to the dealer yet, but I have noticed one interesting thing. If I turn on tow/haul mode the clunk almost completely goes away. Can anyone else that's having this problem confirm if this works for them...

    Why do I have cats?

    Only the environment. If you don't have kids, or you hate your kids and their future kids, go ahead and yank those things off. :waytogo:

    HIDs Installed in 14 Sport

    No grounds necessary for the Canbus adapters. Maybe they aren't as reliable as the full harness, but they sure are easy to install. I haven't seen anything like that yet with mine, but I did notice one time yesterday that there was some flickering from the passenger side before it finally came...

    HIDs Installed in 14 Sport

    Thanks to OP, and of course Retroshop, I decided to go the same route and get the Canbus adapters. I installed everything this weekend and its working great. I noticed that the first time I started up the truck, and wasn't feeling too good about that. But turning off 'Illuminated Approach' in...

    CarPlay coming to Pioneer radios!

    And boys have Samsungs. Sounds about right to me. :waytogo:

    Windows Auto Down

    I understand some people don't want it, but I liked having it on my Titan, and its one of the few things that are annoying about my new Ram. They could have at least added it as an option I could turn on through the uconnect settings. There are options for lots of other random things, I don't...

    Hemi tick? Opinions/suggestions?

    I didn't do so well in Chemistry, that's why I ended up in engineering. The numbers make sense though. I'm not sure exactly why, but some engines I've dealt with have been so loud with synthetic that there was basically no choice but to switch back to dino. Maybe they would have been better...

    First oil change lessons learned

    The Aveo is pretty bad, but I believe the award for most @&$?'ed up design goes to the 95+ Cavalier 2.2L. I think it's probably easier to just pull the whole damn engine then to get a hand on the filter. I'd rather change the rear-most spark plugs on an LS1 Camaro then to change the oil on a...

    Hemi tick? Opinions/suggestions?

    I don't understand why so many people on this board 1. swear on using synthetic oil and 2. complain about valve noise. In my years with many different engines, I have found that some engines just do not like synthetic oil. Because it is lighter many engines will have more valve noise. In those...

    Newbie needs help 1500 steps

    Looks like that particular p/n that you got has only 2 mounts per side. There is a different style that Mopar sells that have 3 mounts per side.

    Ebay Service Manual

    You can download this for free via bittorrent. You are just wasting your money paying someone $10 to burn it on a CD for you. I have no doubt they just downloaded it themselves.

    2012 Ram 1500 step bar rivnuts

    I installed Mopar steps on my '14 this weekend too. It only took me about 30 minutes and could not have been easier (except maybe if I had a lift, that is). I used an air ratchet and lubricated the rivnut tool with WD40 after each use (the instructions say to use motor oil, but WD40 was more...

    Dash Cam's

    I've been using an Ojocam (www.ojocam.com) and I love it. It is very small, so most people won't even notice that its there. It is inexpensive (Newegg has it for $87 until 7/24/14) it has GPS logging and a few other nice-to-have features. It also has its own internal battery and can take still...

    New truck advise

    Sounds like a typical salesman, "this is the only vehicle that..." But GM has been working on the technology since the late '70's. Of course it was craptacular back then. The modern computer controlled system that actually works reliably debuted the same time as Chrysler's system, in the 2005...

    New Dodge owner

    What's with everyone trading in their Titans lately? I just traded in my '07 Titan last week for my '14 1500. The Titan was a good truck, and I never had any major issues with it, other then the fact that it was a gas guzzler. I averaged about 13mpg with mixed driving, and the highest I ever saw...

    Adventures at the dealership

    Perhaps, but what I really wanted to say is that dealers (aka stealers) will always try to find ways to screw you for the sake of a dollar, but the law is generally on your side. Sure getting the law involved can be a pain, but unfortunately that is the world that we live in now. Its getting to...

    FNG from Hell..er...Phoenix

    Greetings from the pits of hell, AKA Phoenix. I swear living here is worth it as long as you can survive Summer. I just picked up a brand new 2014 Ram 1500 Sport Crew Cab 2WD in black. I traded up from a 2007 Nissan Titan Crew Cab SE 4x4. I know I'm going to miss the 4WD, but these days I...
