    What did you pay for your truck at the dealership?

    2016 ram 1500 sport 47k miles Hemi 4x4 Black appearance package Fully loaded minus navigation Paid $29k and traded in my 14 tradesman with 90k on it. They gave me $16k which was over kbb. I got this truck for $4k under kbb. Payment is a little high even though I have great credit simply...

    New to RAM - from a $72k Denali to a $20k Tradesman

    I had a 2014 tradesman. It had cloth seats and 6ft bed with the extended cab. Great truck. V6 averaged 20 mpg. Towed a 14ft uhaul that was loaded down and it didnt act like it was even back there. I bought a 2016 sport with the hemi and still get the same gas mileage. The 4x4 is great and...

    What have you replaced?

    I'm on my second Ram and was wondering what kind of work you guys have had to do. On my 2014 I replaced -both upper UCAs (previous owner had spacers in and popped the ball joints) -3 sets of sway bar links -rear caliper -both rear rotors due to the e-brake cable sagging and setting the parking...

    Rattle felt in pedals

    My 14 did that. This one is solid. It's almost like something is hitting the firewall. If I have it on cruise control I never notice it. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

    Best tire for freeway/snow

    I live in the arctic tundra of Michigan. I'm looking for a tire with good traction that wont kill my MPG. I drive all freeway with some light offroading. I'm averaging 20 mpg on the SRAs but they're crap when its wet out. Thinking some KO2s in 295s. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

    No it's a ratcheting/knocking noise from the passenger vent. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

    Rattle felt in pedals

    Just got the truck last month. Has almost 50k on it and everything is solid. Steering is tighter than any vehicle I've ever had! But I have this annoying high speed rattle once I hit a bump. I cant feel it in the wheel so I'm guessing its suspension related. You can only feel it in the pedals...

    New truck...new problems

    Update: it's making the noise again.... They replaced the entire HVAC housing and the same side is making noise again. I've lost faith in these mechanics. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

    New truck...new problems

    Got the truck back today. Dealer said they'd have it done in 2 days which I knew was bull. Ended up being 5 but I had a free rental. They replaced the entire HVAC unit behind the dash. So far the noise is gone and I have no new rattles or squeaks from them pulling the dashboard. Tech did a...

    Want to lift it but...

    So I'm kind of at a crossroad. I have a 2016 sport and doesnt make so much as a squeak from the suspension. My 2014 was a nightmare because I was uneducated and bought the truck not knowing the previous owner used spacers. I installed bils but the damage was done and I ended up replacing every...

    Bilstein Questions-Heard and Read Too Much!

    I did it on my 2014 but haven't on my 2016. My one word of caution would to be prepared for the worst during install. I live in the salt belt and the bils require you to use the stock spring seats, insulators and strut mount. The mount is held on by a large 17 or 18mm bolt on top. To remove it...

    New truck...new problems

    It's a gorgeous truck. The dealership hasn't given me any grief about fixing it. In fact they encouraged the repairs while they're under warranty even though it's a dealer warranty not the basic. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

    New truck...new problems

    I bought a 2014 last year as my first ram. It was a tradesman with 50k on the clock. Fast forward a year and I put nearly 40k on it. At the time I was working far from home and was doing almost 100 miles a day commuting. The truck was a v6 and I had nothing but issues with it. Nothing serious...
