Someone explain this! Dealer did a switcheroo on me!

Especially when it exhales through a Flowmaster Super 40 and a pair of Moe’s tips!

And congrats on the dis`engagement of the girlfriend too, trust me when i say that you`re better off without the nagging and ******** that they love to do.

Did you talk to the dealer about it? You should, never know what he might say or do.

After four years and 60,000 miles later I am sure they’d laugh and not do anything about it. I’m not really worried about it, just made an observation. If I remember right their service department was lackluster on Google reviews.

i can't explain the fan switch.but the larime grill change was until they got enough new grilles or used the old ones on the line.same thing on the sports i've seen ram r/t s of the same year with the cross hair grille which i like better because of the r/t emblem and the painted version of the new sport grille.

Which trim is this, the only Ram I've been in is mine, a Longhorn with quite a different interior:

I think you made out with that swap! The second grille is the Longhorn grille (you have a Laramie right?)which looks better and is more desirable and an upgrade to boot.Cheers!

What he said....I'd be happy!!

That is possible. If that was the case it didn’t show up on the Carfax report. They also had the truck on their lot for two months so plenty of time to make repairs. Still kinda threw me for a loop when I caught that today!

Most dealerships won't fix anything until they make a deal on it. If it doesn't sell for whatever reason and they auction it off all they lost was a spot on their lot.

This is why I snap a pic of the VIN and the window sticker on the exact truck I want and test drive.

You may already know this but wanted to mention that since your truck came with the overhead console and the RA2 from the factory if you want to install the Homelink overhead console it will work plug and play. The correct wiring and sales code should already be present. If you decide to upgrade make sure you get one for a 13 or newer truck. They are listed incorrectly all the time. The 09 to 12's will not work in the 13 and newer trucks.

I do know about Homelink and I would love to have it back in my truck. I’ve been keeping my eyes open locally for one but no luck.

EDIT - If anyone has one in gray without the sunroof switch, shoot me a PM. I would be interested
