2013 Express, purchased 8 months ago, @ 30,000 miles

Check engine light came on, dealer said Evap system, they flashed the ECM and it went away, for 3 days. Check engine light came on again, same code, dealer just replaced the PCM. So far no issues.

Strange mine actually does that as well even when I just turn it on sometimes.

Actually I am extremely disappointed with the Factory GY SR-A Tires 2 with cord separation so far and the worthless temporary spare is a joke. other than that it is AWESOME.

I wouldn't mind so much if I thought the tire problems were normal wear and tear but these have been pretty ridiculous. I have abused tires for years ie I go to Moab and rock Crawl my Jeeps and trucks back in the early days, but this truck is not a off road vehicle to me but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be able to go on a gravel road with out risk of a cord fracture. Like I mentioned extremely disappointed with the Factory set of tires. If you look them up online the are the cheapest tire in the size that you can get. UGH

Just under 7,000 miles on mine. I've owned it since August. The only issue I have had is my satellite radio froze one time. The screen went white and I couldn't change the station. After about 2 or 3 times of shutting the truck off and starting it back up it fixed itself and I've never had that problem again.

Mine has had a couple problems. Purchased in March 2013 so I've had it for just over a year.

Current mileage is 6500 (gotta love having a company vehicle).
-Right after delivery I noticed the cab was not aligned properly with the bed or front bumper. Dealer realigned. *Make sure to look for this when buying a truck no matter what brand* Never thought to look for this on a NEW truck.
-2000mi, Trailer brake controller wasn't activated in the EVIC, dealer fixed in 10 mins
-2500mi Recall for the traction control
-ongoing, Rattle/squeek in front left fender/wheel well area that is ongoing and they "can't duplicate"
-The 4x4 not locking in 4Lock/4Low but according to the dealer, this is by design. There's a thread on here about this: http://www.ramforum.com/showthread.php?t=40753

Other than these problems, its been a great truck.

I have an issue... I have the 2500 so my LED puddle lights aren't like the 1500's. Mine is a small pod with 2 LED lights, one pod on each side. I've had both pods burn out and yesterday I went to get my oil changed and the driver side was replaced a second time because one of the two LED's burned out. I thought these LED bulbs were supposed to outlast incandescent bulbs. I have 17,800 miles on my truck now.
