I had a guy with a '14 Diesel tell me he had the same thing and he installed a tune that fixed that, among other things. Anyone else have that issue?

What are some of the least things you like about your 4th generation Ram? (This isn't a knock on the truck at all. I LOVE my Ram and this is my second brand new Ram in 10 years.)
I guess I'll go first.
I don't really like the windshield washer nozzles on the hood. I like the way they were on my 3rd gen Daytona. The other thing I'm not too crazy about is the way the MDS comes on/engages. Don't like the "drone" I guess you call it. These aren't real issues for me, just wanted to see what others have to share.

the monthly payments...I like mine for the most part. I got what I could afford. Considering my last 2 trucks were a 92 Mazda B2200 then a 04 Frontier I really cant complain. Hope this one lasts as long as the other 2 did for me

There's a TSB/flash for that.

I think we share the same transmission as the Jeep SRT, correct? If that is the case,....the TSB/Flash works and it doesn't. Sometimes it comes back as it was to begin with and sometimes it just "softens" the clunk.

The flash I had performed has "almost" eliminated it completely. It only works for 3.6L engines and changes the downshift to first to 0.0 mph...

For 4th gen 1500:

1) Could be lighter
2) No rear locker option
3) limited aftermarket support
4) crappy stereo

Other than that I like it a lot.

hmmmmmm with my particular model it should have left the factory lowered 2/4 and the shifter should be still were it was on the 12's. Other than that mine was built on a Wed right after lunch as everything is perfect ie paint/interior etc.

Cruise control should come standard on all new 4th gen trucks.

Seriously they don't all come with cruise control?

I don't think Tradesman or ST have it. Need to elect popular options group with those trim packages. My '11 is an ST and only has cruise and power windows because it has popular options group.

Headlights are not what they should be and I hate the tow mirrors very hard to see anything, especially in the right one. If I could, I would swap them into same size but without that stupid dead angle mirror.that's why I can't see nothing. Talked to others, they say the same. Other than that I'm 100% happy.

I'm not a huge fan of the tailgate locking every time I lock the doors. Most of the time I don't need it locked, so that loud clunk everytime I'm walking away/toward the truck and hit the button makes me cringe. But that's pretty minor, overall I'm very pleased.

The payload. Look at an ecodiesel limited, barely over 1k for payload. Hope they beef it up for the redesign!
