Upper ball joints are shot at 25K miles
2018 2500 4x4 CTD with 25K miles. I installed a Thuren 2" leveling kit last weekend and took the truck to to shop for an alignment and the tech calls me back where my truck is sitting on the rack and he says, "I can't align this in the state it's in". With the front axle holding the weight of...- Thorny

18 2500 CTD - sloppy gear engagement
I just turned 10,000 miles on my 2018 2500 CTD 4X4. I use this vehicle for pleasure and long road trips, not heavy towing. I'm noticing that when it shifts into 5th and 6th, its like the clutches engage in 3-4 distinct steps rather than a smooth transition. Sort of like it bounces into gear...- Thorny

Auto Dimming rearview mirror?
Those of you with auto dimming rear view mirror option, do your side mirrors dim, or just your interior one? My old ford dimmed all 3 mirrors, but my Ram only dims the interior one. I'm wondering if this was how it's designed or if there is a flaw in my truck.- Thorny

Transforce T/A
I’m probably preaching to the choir here, but holy crap! These 4K mile tires might as well be fully bald with how poorly they perform on 2” of snow. I had to use 4WD to pull out of my flat dirt driveway this morning. I jumped onto TireRack.com to see how others rated the tires and I was... -
On Center steering feel?
I picked up a leftover 2018 2500 4x4 CTD a short while ago. While running fast down the interstate (75-85mph) it seems like there is very little steering feel when driving straight. If you imagine a 360* protractor, I have about 20* of steering wheel movement with very little steering change...- Thorny

Brake bedding on new vehicles?
whenever I replace brakes and rotors, I always go through a bedding procedure to make sure everything seats correctly. But I’ve never done the same thing on new vehicles. I’m curious if any of you bed in your brakes on new trucks? -
DEF volume for low use vehicle?
I only plan on driving my CTD powered 2500 around 12k miles a year. Not sure how many miles one can get from a tank of DEF, but I have read about it going bad over time. So I’m wondering if I should run the def tank from 1/2-0 then refill with a couple gallons, or if I should try to keep it...- Thorny

Lumbar Support is crooked?
New ram 2500, Laramie with front bucket seats. I've been trying to figure out why the seat feels like it's not aimed forward, when I realized that it's not the seat, but the lumbar support. It sticks out more on the left than the right, and the right side does not extend all the way to the... -
Extended warranty or not?
I just brought home a new 2018 2500 Laramie with CTD. I'm new to the RAM brand, and not familiar with consistent issues that might be common knowledge for a lot of you. The dealer offered an 84 month warranty with 110K miles for about $2,500. I didn't take it, but I'm wondering if I should go...- Thorny
