    What DON'T you like about your RAM?

    After two and a half years, the only thing that bugs me on a daily basis is that my 3.6 gets really loud in the winter, not sure if it’s intake or exhaust. Makes an annoying drone in the cab when under any load. In summer it’s great, very quiet. In 40 years of owning vehicles, I’ve never had...

    Intermittent A/C issue

    I got the impression when I brought it in that it happens a lot, and that’s the first thing they look at with those symptoms.

    Intermittent A/C issue

    Loss of pressure, which the leaky plug also causes, can make it intermittent. Mine would be fine one day and not the next, or just start blowing warm air after working for awhile. It may or may be your issue, hopefully your warranty is still good.

    Intermittent A/C issue

    I have a 2017, had similar symptoms with my manual a/c, dealer replaced a condensor plug. Service advisor said it is a common problem, plug shrinks too much in the winter and lets some refrigerant out. Put in a redesigned plug under warranty, no issues since repaired a couple of months ago...

    1500-wanna-bee, but have questions

    Unless they changed some things on the 2019’s, Jeeps and Rams with the air suspension can be very problematic in snow country when it freezes, dealers have had to rob parts off new vehicles to keep up in some instances. Anyone on here know if the issue was addressed in the new ones?

    What would you do?

    I tend to hold onto my vehicles a bit too long, I have come up with a rule that if maintenance is starting to cost about the same as payments would cost, it’s time to let go. Or if I don’t trust the vehicle anymore. Sounds like you are still comfortably in keep it territory. The new ones are so...

    Positive ram story

    You could get a “monotone ourdoorsman” no cost option, with chrome bumpers, normal wheels, and all one body color.

    Canadian Rams Discriminated Against?

    Not sure about rams, but people I work with here in Canada that have 2 or 3 year old F150’s have been phoned out of the blue by their dealer and offered what they paid for their truck or even better if they get a new one. The exchange rate makes it that lucrative for the dealer to sell the...

    A Ram 1500 without a Hemi?

    I had a 1998 F150 with the 4.6 V8, I went from 200HP and four gears to the pentastar with 300HP and eight gears, so it’s plenty of power to me. I’ve never had to put my foot to the floor, so far. A V8 exhaust sounds nice, but these trucks ain’t cheap and I couldn’t justify driving up the price...

    Free Leather Keychain

    .....and as well, it is sitting in a junk drawer. The big fat Ram fob takes enough space on the keychain as it is.

    Free Leather Keychain

    When I bought my ‘17 in Canada, the keychain was sent after you registered online. I have not received much spam for doing so, it seems to be just for service coupons and the inevitable recalls that every vehicle has nowadays.

    V6 exhaust noise

    Thanks, think I’ll take it in. I’ve driven three other various vehicles in the past couple weeks in the cold temps, none have loud, droning exhausts

    crappy 4th gen key fobs!!!

    When I bought my truck, I asked the salesman about the factory remote start and he said don’t do it, as did the Ford salesman for the F-150 I was also looking at, so I went aftermarket. The Ram fob’s work 99% of the time, but two or three times nothing happened and I had to use the key in the...

    i hate cold weather

    -33c/-27f today, tried to fold up the bakflip cover, the rubber is so stiff I’m afraid it would break if I did it!

    V6 exhaust noise

    I’ll wait until it warms up in spring and see how it is, I didn’t notice it last winter when it was new.

    V6 exhaust noise

    Yeah, on mine it’s just an annoying loud droning, not a performance kind of noise.

    V6 exhaust noise

    Have a 2017 with the pentastar, I am noticing lately that the exhaust seems to be getting louder; the best words I can come up with to describe it are droning, raspy, or resonating. It definetely wasn’t this loud when I got it. Before I kill a day going to the dealer with it, wondering if...

    Has anyone rode in snow yet this season?

    One of the best true sayings I’ve heard about snow tires is simply “It’s not just about going, it’s about stopping!” I can get around on all season tires, had a ‘vette with crappy all seasons and made it work (as in Chevette), but real snow tires are sooooo nice. Granted I live in the flat...

    Does it bother you when people call your RAM a Dodge?

    Nope, sometimes I call it a Dodge myself.

    What DON'T you like about your RAM?

    No, quad cab no sunroof. I think I figured it out, a couple of nasty Northern Ontario bush flies were probably part of the Outdoorsman package, which it has.

    What DON'T you like about your RAM?

    So I’m just sweeping out the bed after hauling a yard of gravel, which it did just fine, and there are two big flies walking around inside the third brake light. What the heck??

    XM radio problems

    On a long trip yesterday, I found some stations in the lower 300 channels that I hadn’t discovered before, and the sound quality was friggin awesome. I’ve got the basic 5.0 uconnect system, and it sounded like I’d done a major stereo upgrade. Glad to have xm, but if they all sounded like that it...

    What DON'T you like about your RAM?

    I agree with the weak air conditioning, 85 farenheit today and while it does basically blow cool to cold air, my wifes 8 year old Hyundai is notably better; I would expect a Ram Tough Guts&Glory truck to be better. Truck is 8 months old with 3000 miles, should be no clogged filter yet.

    What DON'T you like about your RAM?

    I know this will be heresy to some, but when using it as a pickup truck to carry stuff I wish it was lower, like an older truck, to make it easier to put things in the bed.

    Do you notice a difference in Highway ride...2WD vs 4WD?

    Can’t comment on ride, but you might find agressive tires track differently on the highway. I got a 2017 Outdoorsman, when I took it for a test drive I had to make constant little steering corrections; the 1998 F150 it was to replace went down the road better. Salesman had me take an SLT with...
