    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...

    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

    .........Wild Ass Guess:) 1) 30k service two weeks ago. (07 quadcab, hemi 4x4) 2) Tried to engage 4WD today (4 position switch, btw) and the 4WD light keeps flashing. Same happens with 4WDLow. FWIW- the last time I used 4WD was last winter. 3) I drive my truck - I don't wrench on it -...

    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

    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

    Plan B????? So - it looks like I'm SOL getting anything like a set of Moogs:( And it also sounds like the factory set-up is simply a POS:( Is there a plan B? Does any other aftermarket company make a decent set to fit my 07???? (Yeh - I could search forever - or simply ask the wisdom of...

    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...

    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...

    cold weather grille cover?

    I have an 07 quad cab, hemi, 4x4 - and I'm looking for a grille cover for the winter. Everything I find is for diesel, and says diesel only. Any sources for a similar cover for us gassers? TIA john

    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

    armrest control panel access?????

    Have had the 07 for 4 months - time for the first niggling problem: The driver-side window control button appears FUBAR & only works about 10% of the time. The entire panel that contains the control buttons in the armrest will slide back and forth about 1/4 inch - don't know if that is tied...

    ballpark stats?????

    I guess this begs the question.... "Why all of the 'trying' going on?" Sounds like some have been through more than one tuner??? Or - that there is no one tuner out there that both "does it all" and does it correctly???? Is it that the user is simply looking for more functions in their...

    ballpark stats?????

    Had the 07 Quad Cab 4x4 Hemi for about 2-3 months now - runnin great. For whatever reason (cooler weather/no AC?) the road mileage has improved from 16 up to 18:) Town still stays at 10. There are no drag strips in this area - so I've yet to run any stats on her. So - was wondering the...

    Why do I feel like my Hemi doesn't run like a Hemi? - revisited

    I've had my 07 quad cab 4x4 hemi for about 6 weeks now. As a "mature" driver (late in my 6th decade:) - I tend to be a rather conservative driver most of the time. However - when I want the dog to bark - I want it to BARK!!! (Old Detroit street racer from the 60s:) So my question is this -...

    turn signal query.......

    mileage info.... How many miles are on your truck? You should be getting a little better mileage. Have you changed you plugs and kept up with routine maintenance? That can effect your fuel mileage. I've had it a month (and done no maintenance) - with 18k currently on the clock. OTOH - it...

    turn signal query.......

    Only had the 07 for a month or so. For the most part I'm lovin it - exept for two things. 1) I expected 10 - 12 mpg in town, but only get 8-10, and that is driving like my granny (and she's dead!) OTOH - it is a hemi - and I can't complain too much. Have reset the TB and pcm - no joy...
