    Why is my truck shaking.

    In my experience, tires are very frequently to blame.

    Black or white?! Help!!!

    Good reasons to choose either. White will look better, in my opinion. Black plastic extensions eventually fade from the sun, but they will take a beating. Neither choice would be wrong

    I think I saw Superman in one of those shots.

    A/C not working in center vent after Radio Repair

    I would assume the tech knocked the tube loose from its mooring.

    Tailgate assist

    It doesn’t seem to change the weight when closing it. It just lowers slowly so no chance to have it drop hard. Only downside is, if it opened while driving, there’s no telltale thud to let you know.

    Ram Cares, Max Care, Dealers all are a crock.

    I had a string of bad experiences at Rockland CJD. First couple of visits went well. Then a big leak after they changed my oil. They fixed it but blamed it on a non-existent issue. For good measure they told me I had a catastrophic failure of a control arm bushing that wouldn't be covered by...

    Horn operation

    You're not alone. This is a known issue. I guess the horn goes through the canbus system and causes a slight delay. Not able to do a short toot and there's a fraction of a second delay .

    Spare tire

    Another warning. The bolt that holds the jack under the seat is exposed to the elements because is goes through the floor to the outside. It's extremely difficult to remove, even with pliers. I suggest either removing it now and generously coating it with anti-seize (limited benefit), Or, as I...

    POLL: Will 4th Generation Rams get the respect they deserve here?

    As long as enough people want them, it's a brilliant sales strategy.

    When to engage 4WD?

    Without the auto feature, you did exactly what you needed to do. Switching in and out of 4WD will not be a problem. Leaving it in 4WD on dry pavement should be avoided, if possible. Most of the time it's 4WD or not, in terms of conditions, so this shouldn't be a big issue for you. Those that...

    Rear defrost timing

    Rear defrost timing puzzles me. Initial operation runs 10 minutes, subsequent uses during same ride are for 5 minutes. This seems quite a bit shorter than other cars I've owned and it's a hassle to turn it back on every 5 minutes when conditions warrant. There's no adjustment unless Alfa OBD...

    Lug nuts and MaxCare warranty Question

    The lug nuts have a thin cap over them for appearance. The swelling of this cover occurs because of the corrosion of the cheap metal underneath and the trapping of water between the layers. This is a terrible design and it's the cause of the problem. It should be covered for that reason alone...

    AEM Modification disappointment...

    I've found it only lasts a minute. Once the truck is warm, everything feels normal. It's a good idea to warm it up for just a minute or two anyway.

    Anyone have issues with a CPO RAM

    My truck was purchased as a CPO. While it generally seemed to have qualified, it had a bunch of little things that needed to be addressed. The very short 3 month b to b coverage meant that I needed to list and address everything quickly. Generally, everything was fixed or replaced under the 3...

    Ram Dealers begging for positive ratings?

    Funny, I see the answer on another post. A 404 is an error message saying the site has gone down. An appropriate response to a negative review...

    Ram Dealers begging for positive ratings?

    What's a 404?

    Ram Dealers begging for positive ratings?

    There are some like that out there. Repeat business is the name of the game. I'm always happy to hear about the good ones. Sadly, there are lots of examples of dealers and employees who only worry about short term dollars and ratings. My new dealer has been a pleasure (Rt 46 CJD in NJ). They...

    Tailgate lock recall notice

    The DeeZee assist is nice, but then you don't hear the thud when the gate drops and your stuff is dropping all over the road. It never happened to me, but I think about it.

    My Dealership Today - Good, Bad, and Outstanding

    When everything goes right, no one really takes notice. When something goes wrong, someone is given the opportunity to show what they're made of. What they do to make things right can earn your trust and respect for a lifetime. Sadly, very few dealers think that way. Even though they screwed up...

    Ram Dealers begging for positive ratings?

    It seems like the best idea would be to teach all dealer personnel how to "earn" a ten star review. In my experience, when something goes wrong, and it's going to happen occasionally, the dealer has an opportunity to make things right and to really impress the customer. That can only happen if...

    Ram Dealers begging for positive ratings?

    A salesman from another brand told me that it’s done to give the manufacturer a way out of paying them sales bonuses. It’s about giving them an impossible target. It certainly can’t be about improving service.

    Jack retainer bolt upgrade

    Thanks,O.R.T. I couldn’t find your post or I would have given you credit.

    Jack retainer bolt upgrade

    I bought the jack retainer bolt upgrade from the newer models. It's a stud with a plastic, hand-turned retainer nut. It took me 20 minutes with vice-grips to remove the original bolt, even though I occasionally remove it to make sure it's removable... Not a good situation in an emergency. The...

    Interesting Anomoly

    Hmmm... This only happens to me when my wife drives the truck.
