Front end Qs - 2017
2017 quad cab/3.6/4x4 61k Strange noise under hood - diagnosed as front axle/steering gear issue. I’m not a hands-on gearhead - even tho raised in Detroit. How common is this? Was NOT expecting P&L of +$4k!!!!!!! Vehicle is a daily driver, never off-road, never abused, maintained as per...- jmoore

Drilling driveshaft tunnel????
On my first Ram, I purchased a steel safe that was designed to fit into the console. It was bolted down into the main compartment, and was quite sturdy. Not only does it not fit my Quadcab 2017, but NOBODY makes one to fit the console in this year/model. I’m thinking of bolting it to the... -

New Ram owner. I crossed over. I may have made the wrong choice
Your only major issue is that you stated you want a rust-free vehicle. From my experience, and from simple observations of others out on the road - good luck with the rust-free part! geezerjohn- jmoore

Cooper Zeon LTZs????
Looking into a set of the 275/60R20XLs for my 07 quad cab 4x4. For the most part - folks seems to like them on various reviews. The only major thing that keeps coming up is a significantly harsher ride. Comments (on this, or any other input about them)???? TIA john- jmoore

some tire questions
Thanks for all the feedback.... Been researching a bit - and I'm currently leaning towards the Zeons. 90+% of folks LOVE them, and the remainder hate em - usually d/t some sort of defect or excessive wear problem (even though many in the 90% group say they get great wear???) I'm wondering... -

some tire questions
Yes in terms of what I'm looking for, and $1200 - 1300 or so out the door would be nice. (Less would be even nicer:) TIA john -

some tire questions
1) My 07 Quad Cab, 4x4 hemi has the original shoes on it (275 x 60R20s) - at 23k. (Can't recall what they are - and it's out in the lot:) They are basically "street" tires that probably have another 5-10k left on them. I'm starting to look now for tires that I'll get in a few months. This... -

tie rod question
Bought the 07 quad cab 4x4 in August with 16k on the clock. Now at 23k, I'm told it needs new tie rods. Never had to replace rods this soon in any other vehicle in the past. Is there such a thing as an "average" number of miles for replacement - and am I anywhere near that number??? Is there...- jmoore

better mileage:)
Been off the list for a while - but had a chance to experiment a little to get better in-town mileage. (Maybe this has been mentioned - but I couldn't find it using various search terms.) When I first got the truck (2007 Quad cab, 4x4, hemi) in August, I started doing most of my driving like...- jmoore

armrest control panel access?????
follow up Q Thanks for the info. Is there any way to "tighten" the panel so it doesn't slide back & forth, i.e., are there some type of clips holding it place that can be tweaked a bit? Just want to know before I tear into it this weekend:) WD 40 for cleaning???? TIA john
