    23 2500 6.4 hemi tick? Dealer says they can’t hear it.

    Save the used factory oil and filter you took off. Put back in if you have a problem. Don’t put brand new oil in a failed motor and then take it to the dealer for repair.

    Is it legal?

    The last three times I’ve traded in diesels here in NY (different dealers) I’ve had to sign a statement that all of the original emissions equipment was intact and no modifications have been made. That’s so they can come after you for the cost of restoring to original if it’s discovered after...

    Looking at buying but have a concern.

    Ram and automatic transmissions have always been a bad combo. Has bitten me three times, and my trucks aren’t worked very hard at all. On the ‘04 look into the reinforcing plate for the valve bodies/solenoids. Under $100 and will save you a $6k transmission. I learned the hard way.

    Dear Ram,

    How about a 2500 on the lot without towing mirrors? “We can change them to towing mirrors for you for $1,200”.

    Drying Towels

    I was told to air dry microfiber. The heat from the dryer makes them less effective.

    2025 Ram Order at Mark Dodge

    The Demon 170 is going for $200k plus buyer’s premium at the various collector auctions. Why shouldn’t the dealer sell it for a $100k markup? He has every right to make that profit on a limited edition vehicle.

    Bought 2024 RAM 2500 Crew cab 4x4

    Be glad you had the accident in the old truck and not the brand new one.

    How do Dodge and Chrysler plan on surviving?

    The problem with Stellantis is they no longer take care of their customers. Look how many have had transmission failures due to their poorly designed valve body (myself included). Love the Cummins, but this is the last Ram I’ll ever own. I was four months out of warranty time wise, but truck...

    6.4 MPGs

    Every Ram I’ve ever owned (8) always showed 2-3 mpg higher on the display than the hand calculation.

    Transmission Failure - Denied Warranty Claim - Help!

    If it is possible for them to tell from sensors that a truck was overloaded, or was trying to pull too heavy a load, those same sensors should have prevented the truck from attempting either act in the first place.

    I'm # 100k with this issue yeeeeeah

    I’ve never accepted free oil changes. I’ll do it myself and pre fill the filter every time. Think the guys doing the free oil changes do this? Think they really changed the oil at all?

    Pricing is out of control

    Agree that pricing on trucks is nuts. My wife’s new 2023 Tahoe, exact same vehicle and options as her 2018 Tahoe, stickered for $6,500 more. Less than 10% increase (did not get near the same discount off of sticker however). I don’t think that’s bad, and that’s what trucks should have gone...

    2024 RAM Limited

    $79k for a 2nd 1/2 ton. The world has gone insane.

    Oil filter fell off!!

    Always remember that people don’t do what you expect, only what you inspect.

    Switching to a Chevy or Ford

    My last truck purchase was a Chevy and I made sure my dealer knew it. 8 Rams purchased in the last twenty years. Last one lost the transmission at 48,000 miles due to a well known design defect. 4 months out of warranty. $6,300 bill for the trans and they, and Stellantis, we’re unwilling to do...

    Interior Roof Water Stains Around Speakers/Phone Mics

    I’d clean off the stains as recommended. Then I’d trade it in. I’d much rather put the $1,900 towards a new truck than fix a problem that may come back in a year.

    Factory ordering a 2023 Ram 3500

    Also test drive the 2500 and the 3500. If you don’t need the bed payload of the 3500, get the 2500. They both tow the same amount. The 2500 rides so much better. Coils (2500) in rear vs leaf springs (3500). When I test drove the SRW 3500, I asked the salesman “Does it have a rear suspension, or...

    2022 Ram 1500 5.7 etorque hesitation off the line

    Has anyone tried a Pedal Commander (or like product)? I would think this might help. I’ve had great experiences with them on my 15 and 18 Rams. Although they were not e-torque.

    Do Dual 220 Amp Alternators Lessen Fuel Economy?

    From what I’ve been told, every 25 amps consumes 1 hp. The extra 220 amps is like running a 9 hp motor wide open the whole time you’re driving. If you don’t need it, don’t order it on the truck.

    Big Horn Crew Cab rear leveled in the desert...

    Agreed. I used to think diesel pickups were super cool until I got behind the wheel of a Western Star. Big thumbs up to the original poster’s Ram and Bronco. Nice job.

    New Ram owner, can't believe how bad it is in the snow.

    When I read the title of the post I thought to myself “Yup, those Firestone Transforce tires are the worst tire ever made”. Turns out you can make the truck even worse in snow than stock.

    2019 6.7 burned to the ground

    5year/100k warranty on the Cummins. Tow it back to the dealer and tell them to fix it (which they can’t). Why should this be an insurance claim?

    Ram rip off

    It does amaze me what was included on my 18 Laramie that is now not included. Seems all it really is now is a badge on the tailgate.

    Turbo no 2 is *****

    They told you that because they want you to think it’s your fault, not poor build quality. Had a friend whose bumpers rusted out on his 4 year old Tahoe. Dealer tried to tell him needs to wash his car more often and that they were not covered under the corrosion warranty. My friend listened...

    2020 RAM 2500 6.7 Cummins blown due to dealer error

    I’d keep an eye on the clock. In NY at least, if they have your truck too long, you may be able to force them to buy it back.
