    Rear Track Bar snapped? Or was it cut?

    Thank you for all the advice, opinions and suggestions! Much appreciated! Im leaning on the side of a break or snap. We got it off of the truck and took a closer look at it. If anything it may have been cut half way then the stress of it finished off later. There is rust on half of the circle...

    Heat floor setting still blows out of defrost!

    My solution was to switch it to bi-level ( floor and dash) and then just turn off the dash vents. I think the system can be adjusted at the dealer but who knows what that would cost!

    Hemi Tick, manifold bolts

    I had this happen in my previous 2011 back a couple of years ago. It was covered under the powertrain warranty. Its pretty obvious when it starts and seems to be much louder when its cold outside. Its a pretty common thing in Rams, it should have been a recall IMO. Cheap MFG bolts or poor...

    Why buy a diesel?

    Im very familiar with the Pentastar and its a good engine. Im my Wife's 2 door Wrangler it has plenty of pep. However we did own a 4 door Wrangler and the Pentastar seemed a bit sluggish. I like my Hemi but wouldnt bash the EcoDiesel or the Pentastar. Both good engines. A Pentastar in a...

    First Time Ram Owner - Common Problems?

    I had a 2011 where the exhaust manifold studs broke. I was told at the time it was a common occurrence. Its under the power train warranty so you can get it fixed if you are still under that. Its pretty noticeable when it happens. Sounds like loud tappet noises when its cold ( different than...
