- that I didn't get the Keyless go option
- After a cold start my 6.4 ticks more than a 6.7 CTD with a cylinder missing
- why do I need 10 dang cup holders in the front alone?
Hemis are notorious for head tick. My 5.7, 6.1, 392 stroker, they've all done it.

So far I still love my RAM and have gotten used to the Shift knob on the dash that bugged me lol But I do dislike ,
that if you turn the temp control down all the way when lowering the temp you kick in the Max AC :O

Swapped my LT E rated tires back to some P rated tires for fuel efficiency.. didn’t get any better fuel economy so I’m going to either blame the 3.92 rear end or the winter fuel that’s probably in the tank.. went from a 275/65 to a stock sized 275/60. More testing is still to come but my first half tank didn’t show any improvement.. so I guess I don’t like my 3.92s at this exact moment I’d prefer 3.21s for all my highway driving haha

Haha if there wasn’t a cost to doing that I probably would! I was averaging 15.7 mostly highway driving with a 93 tune , cai exhaust and catch can mods, and after the new tires I filled up after a half tank and got 15.4... I’m not sure if my timing was bad with winter fuel being put out or what not. I’m giving it one full tank this week and seeing what’s results i get. And this is all Hand calculated as well

Be sure to check tire pressures. Cold weather will lower the PSI.

I dont like the possible third brake light leak on my 500 mile old 2017 :(

Headliner got wet in drivers side rear corner, but it seems dry now and no staining.

Going to buy the weatherstrip at Lowes to fix it myself. Have an appointment with the dealer next Monday but debating whether I want them to touch it or not.

-Hate UConnect. Especially after having apple CarPlay in my previous F150.
-Bright white isn't bright enough for me. Looks a tiny bit yellowish when parked next to my buddy's F150.
-Hemi tick. (My truck doesn't have it but I'm really nervous about it coming in the future. Fingers crossed)
-Gas mileage. But hey, you gotta pay to play.
-I wish the cab was a little more roomy. Smaller compared to my F150.

All minor things. All in all, I still LOVE my ram.

I’ve not owned it but a couple of days but I dislike that it didn’t come with a backup camera and I don’t like the headlights or I should say lack of headlights.

Did you know that Backup cameras are an option in the correct model ?

I don't like that my 44k truck is going to the dealer a 3rd time for a leaking transmission. Funny the 8'' wide oil spots I leave everwhere they are never rushed to get me in. Maybe it'll just run out of fluid...

My truck with 8,300 miles on it looks like my other 20 year old cars with caked oil eveywhere lol.

Pretty much everything to do with uConnect and via Mobile. Terrible software and implementation.

Same here. 17.8 down to 16.7 with the 3.92 rear. I believe it's the winter fuel

My EVIC is horribly incorrect when it comes to estimating MPG it’s normally
Over 2mpg off but sometimes more


My radio “update” won’t update it just redownloaded what I️ already had and want upgrade to the 17.**.**

The loud tick noise when cold

Winter blend fuels always kill gas milage. They generally switch in october or November and then switch back in march depending on your area.



Winter blend gas is designed to evaporate easier in turn better combustion in the cold weather but it still creates less energy. Summer blend does not evaporat as fast because it is designed for hot weather. But it creatrs more energy when combusted therefore better MPG.
