    Frustrated with Dealership - What’s Yours?

    So years ago when I lived in California, you couldn’t buy a vehicle out of state unless it met California emissions. Maybe all new vehicles meet it now or maybe they changed the rules. I hope that you don’t have that problem.

    Would you pay monthly for certain features

    I didn’t read every reply so forgive me if this is a duplicate. My 2018 had remote start on the keyfob and remote start on a phone app, the phone app was connected to the uconnect system and that portion required a subscription after 2 years (I think). It didn’t affect the keyfob remote start...

    New electric Ram

    Ram makes a 1500 with a Cummins in Canada? I wish that they would offer that down here.

    Hemi being discontinuted

    Texas actually has the most stable grid in the US. It is interconnected to the rest of the country through converter stations which allows power to flow both ways. Texas has the ability to isolate themselves from the rest of the country if they ever need to. The weather event of last year was a...

    Block Heater

    The block heater isn’t for your comfort (although that is a side benefit), it’s to make starting easier with better lubrication in cold weather. When I plug mine in it’s when I get home until I go back out. It’s basically personal preference.

    ScaryTowing!

    I think that the reference to wind turbines was an indication of a high wind area, not that the turbines create the wind. I’ve driven through there many times with a 35’ fifth wheel, saw the tires on one side come off the road enough to see daylight once and I was only doing about 35 mph while...

    Remote start, won't.

    This happened to me the other day, when I discovered it didn’t start I checked the “messages “ tab on the evic, I hadn’t realized my low fuel light was on. This was on my Cherokee, should be similar to your Ram

    So here's the deal

    I did the chalk line to find my ultimate pressure. Then used the Alfa OBD app to reset the tpms alarm settings. This was on a ‘17 2500.

    MoPar nightmare...what would you do?

    This could be comparing apples to oranges but years ago I bought a used Ford 7.3 from a dealer that was over 100 miles from me, it had a warranty that came with it. I picked it up one day and pulled a load of hay the next. You would have thought that I had a smoke screen feature because the...

    Can the 3.73 do it

    Break your truck? No, probably not. Unless you like pulling that trailer at 25 mph up the hills and watching your gas gauge drop while doing it then you’ll probably hate it. I had a ‘17 and pulled a 2000 lb cargo trailer through Wyoming, with the headwind I got 4-5 mpg. I’d find a diesel, it...

    1500 Dually

    I had a 2018 ecodiesel and it couldn’t get out of its own way while pulling my jet skis, I can’t imagine how it would’ve performed with a dually axle and pulling a bigger load. That being said, I love the look of a dually so if you decide to move forward take lots of pictures!

    TIRE PRESSURE INDICATOR, BLANK.

    Ask your buddy if he kept them. Were the tires still on the rims when you got them? I don’t know if I would spend the money to have tires dismounted and then remounted just to get the tpms sensors. Actually I think that it might be illegal to mount tires on wheels without the sensors if it’s...

    Dang,,, did it again

    I sold my ‘17 2500 big horn 6.4 with 118000 miles to the local Chevrolet dealership for $29,500 a couple of weeks ago.

    Unstable Towing with our 1500

    You have gotten some good advice here, I used to be a service manager and then general manager of a trailer sales lot. Most WDH do not compensate for sway. You will have to add a sway bar. I’ve been out of the business for some time now and am not familiar with your Reese hitch.

    What’s this on the axle?

    Looks like 2 part epoxy to me

    Should I buy or pass?

    Thanks for the confirmation, I was pretty sure that I was going to buy it anyway.

    Should I buy or pass?

    Alright I have the opportunity to buy my bosses old truck, it’s a 2001 Ram 2500 2wd with 5.9 Cummins and auto, 140k miles. I haven’t seen it yet but think it’s a no brainer, he’s wanting $2500. What do y’all think?

    Blown engine, help please

    Here is my input, Having lived in Washington for many years until recently, I know that when you buy a vehicle from any dealer you will get an odometer disclosure statement which certifies the odometer reading. If the dealer who has your truck now is saying that your odometer does not match the...

    6.4 no crank

    Ok, lots of info out there, none exactly the same as my issue. Ram 2500 4x4 Big Horn 6.4. Drove around all day, stopped at a buddy's house. 20 minutes later get back in the truck, turn key, lights come on but no crank, no clicking, nothing. Tried it several times with no change. Tried a...

    Same Price: Eco Diesel or 5.7 Hemi

    well i'm a day late it seems but i'll put in my 2 cents anyway. I bought a brand new '18 Eco diesel laramie in '18 instead of the hemi. the main reason being I missed my cummins but didn't need that much truck anymore. I had it a year, oil changes at the dealer were almost $200. Overall I...

    Homelink upgrade

    My question is do you have to replace the console or is there a panel that pops out when the homelink is installed?
