Rebel Friends! Question

[MudSticker19]

Do any of the y'all, both V8 and Eco Diesel, have the wobble at high speeds like a slew of us 1500 DT's are having? I love my truck ('19 Laramie) but the issue is so bad now my wife refuses to drive/ride in it and its causes my 3yr olf to vomit on multiple occasions.

I don't have any wobble in mine. Now our highways up here are only 60mph so I maybe do 65 but I have had it up to 75-80 a few times.

Nothing on mine

My '21 just made a 2000 mile trip at speeds up to 85 and it was as smooth as could be. After filing lemon law on 3 vehicles since 2016, I am ecstatic that I have not experienced ANY of the major issues I've read about here.

To be fair, two of the returned vehicles were buy backs and not lemon law. My 2015 Charger Scat Pack had a very simple issue that took a long time to find. During the troubleshooting, incorrect parts were installed. By the time the replacement car came in, all of the issues were resolved, but I wasn't allowed to keep the car. The second one was a Mustang GT that had a paint flaw. Ford did a fantastic job custom repainting of the car (they took it completely apart),but the paint starting to flake off the aluminum hood about a month later, so they bought the car back. Oh well.

Drive 80mph to and from work. No wobbles when stock and no wobbles with a lift and 35s. Rams in my opinion are the smoothest riding trucks.

No, not at any speed.

Zero wobble.

No wobble at any speed. I have a 21 rebel. Sorry you are having trouble and good luck.

No such problem

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I found a few Rebel Eco’s near me, going to do a some test driving this weekend and hopefully I can get a good price for my ‘19 Laramie. But sick to my stomach a brand new ‘19 $65k and the dealership won’t even look at it because it’s been modified with a lift kit.

Most likely the lift kit is your problem. Probably cheaper to restore it back to stock compared to buy a new truck.

Problem was there before the lift kit was installed. After doing a lot of research, I think it’s a drivetrain issue IMHO but none the less with gas prices where they are at now and the ecodiesels getting 30+mpg, it’s a good time to swap out.

Take it in for an alignment first.

 

[hyperx2002]

Do the ecodiesels have higher maintenance costs? Oil changes etc?

Stock 2019 Rebel…other than first trip home when tire pressure was way out of specs, no issues at all. Currently have 40k miles on it.

 

[Derek Dredger]

No wobble in my Rebel. Is it a very high frequency vibration of low frequency vibration? I would definitely get the tires/wheels checked for balancing and alignment. This is the most obvious cause of vibration

Could be engine mounts but they shouldn't cause a wobble...more of a single clunck/vibration when accelerating/braking.

Stock 2019 with non Etorque Hemi and no wobble on mine at all . In fact this is one of the smoothest riding vehicles I've ever driven in my 32 + years of driving .

So the Rebels do not have the issue. Makes me want to almost definitely say its the ram 1500's driveshaft that is the issue.

I have no recollection of this but I might have driven my Rebel at speeds that could land one in a jail and cause a loss of a license.
A solid ride with no shakes or shimmy. Duratracks are getting little noisy with the miles piled on them.

I’m not sure . My friend had a 2019 Limited and now a 2021 Limited and both his were completely smooth at any speed as well .
