Annoying idiosyncrasies about our trucks!!

[saintsreturn]

I read this thinking I only agree with the turn signals and keeping black clean, but then it hit me. The Laramie I picked up this week doesn't like to lock with the touch function for about 5 seconds after I close the door. That has become quickly annoying.

All this 360/5.9 reliability....


No, um, the voltage regulator being built into the PCM, wind noise, and the brittle wiring with my rear driver door not power unlocking and my driver door not power locking.

Interior lighting!!! It's damn dark in here at night. No courtesy lights in my '02. I had to add everything, cup holder light, kick plate lights etc...

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?

My 2006 does the exact same thing, I have figured out that it only seems to make the noises when the heat and fan are on. Does anyone have any idea why?

The weak range of the key fob. WTF, brand new battery and still have to be within 20 ft. before it will lock/unlock!

I love that they put factory remote start in some of them and you still basically have to be standing on top of the truck to remote start the thing. Might as well not have remote start at that point and just start it with the key lol. Any remote with remote start should be able to go at least a couple hundred feet

This is going to sound weird but an old man told me about this. Put the side opposite the actual key up to your chin under your mouth and hit the buttons. It makes your body emit the signal stronger than the actual key fob does. I can make mine work from about 2 hundred feet away and start my truck in the middle of the parking lot. Sounds weird but it works. Lol

Yeah I've heard of that before. It's just the principle though lol if viper can make a remote that can go almost a mile, so can dodge

Once I parked my BMW 650i way out in another parking lot for a bank on a Sunday, walked over to the supermarket next door. Within a few minutes, came out and saw a beater right next to my car with at least 30 empty spaces all around.

you guys realize they do it on purpose right? the first thing that pops into my mind when i see a car parked in 4 spots is "what a douche". they just take it one step further.
