    2014 1500 gas tank strap and frame rusted out

    I just encountered this problem over the past weekend.....I thought I was screwed because the FCA/Mopar site does NOT show my VIN as eligible for the recall.....I searched the topic on google and ended up here....on this thread. I started going through my documentation and found that I had in...

    Pedal Commander

    Hey all.... Just getting around to maybe pulling the trigger on this.....best price I can find is $299 ANYWHERE.... Anyone know if there is any "authorized retailer" that is offering a code or having a sale anytime soon? I am a vet myself as well. Saving every little bit counts. LOL ALSO...

    Chrysler lifetime extended warranty?

    I think it is more that diesel owners will use it harder, tow and haul much heavier stuff, use commercially for things and the diesel engine will last much longer than the rest of the vehicle...meaning that more owners will keep coming in for OTHER repairs (than just engine repairs)....so...

    The Old Lease Vs. Buy Debate. What to do???

    Ah, but there is the rub. You own a leased vehicle as much as you own a financed vehicle, up until you pay off the financed vehicle. It is titled the same, insured the same, you ash it, you have to fix it when it breaks, etc. The only difference is the way the finances are done. At...

    The Old Lease Vs. Buy Debate. What to do???

    I once told myself I would NEVER lease. However, when my 03 Durango with 75k miles on her started needing too much (A/C work in the thousands, rotting brake lines, tranny needed rebuilt) I wanted to cut bait before I dub myself in the hole too far. Did that on my Ford Exploder and I lost...

    First time I've seen this color

    I think the green is sharp! Of course I may be pre-disposed to that color given my choice of color on other vehicles I own...see my attachment....LOL...not everyone can handle the extra attention a grabber color like this will get ya.... :)

    New Owner/Very Frustrated

    New Owner/Very Frustrated

    What really bugs me is when the techs replace something and then just say "ok, its done" and never really took it out and tried it. I have been there done that with all 3 US makes -- if the problem starts within a couple miles of leaving the dealership, that tells me they never bothered to do...

    Glad I am not the only one....LOL Was working on my trailer wiring and had the same "issue". All my old cars have always had live brake lights even if the igntion is off so never thought that......oh well....

    electronic throttle control

    I think that reply was to my post? Its not a throttle over ride function. Let me tell you why (not trying to bogart the thread.....) I took the truck out and played a little last evening..... Tried to find some gravel on a hill of the same steep grade that I could back up without...

    electronic throttle control

    I will be following this thread "just in case".....I have an issue (or maybe not an issue at all) with the ETC light as well.......2012, 1,300 miles. When i park my truck at home, I park on a gravel hill and squeeze between a telephone pole's guidewires and a fire hydrant.Its a tight fit...

    2013 part we need for our 11-12s

    Its a bunch of marketing-types who probably dont even drive the cars they are marketing for, sitting in a conference room somewhere with flipcharts and white boards, trying to come up with new ways to justify their paychecks LOL It will ALWAYS be a Dodge Ram to me. Just like my 72...
