Yeah, it's more likely, the auto stop/start. Two of my daughters, had their GMs lurch forward, and tap other cars. I hate when idiots stop 30 feet, from the car in front of them, but I stay about 5 feet.

The Etorque motor is only 30 HP, and isn't going to make the truck run away. It works, just to help the wheels start turning, on take offs. Sounds more like computer, or other electronic parts.

My truck has a more comfortable ride, than my 2001 Cadillac ElDorado, my second most comfortable riding vehicle i had, out of the 36.

There could be multiple reasons. One could just be electrical interference in the area. My daughter called me one day, saying 3 other people in the same location, couldn't get in their cars. 2 of them opened the doors with their keys, which set off their alarms. I told her to go ahead and...

Don't expect a quick fix. I've been waiting a year and a half, for a fix, for gauges not working in the center stack. They work intermittently, and when they don't, they show metric readings that are blank. they were aware of the problem, before I got my truck. Still no fix.

I haven't worked as a mechanic in close to 40 years, so I don't know how the modern electrical systems are wired, but I'l just throw out a guess. The old days, the lights turned on, by grounding, but with all the electronics these days, they may turn on, by open circuit. If so, it could be a bad...

Ground. All newer vehicles are very dependent on good grounds, due to the electronics. I have seen a lot of gm trucks having issues, due to a braided ground strap corroding. There are 30 ground point on Rams, so 30 potential problem points. For sure, check all under hood grounds.

Same with the multifunction tailgate. My buddy got one a couple years ago, and I thought it wasn't necessary, but he went on about it. Have it now, and love it. Some things you can live without, until you have them, then you get spoiled.

I haven't worked as a mechanic in years, but I just read another thread, where they were discussing 4wd problems, and someone said something about the actuator having to be installed a certain way. I do have a UTV that I know the actuator turns inside, and has to be inserted properly also...

I haven't used them yet as coolers, although that is one of the design uses, but once I have had them, ( this is the first of my 6 Rams that does) I won't get another truck without them.

A quick Google search, says transmission 3rd gear. Either a speed sensor has gone bad, or your transmission is slipping. Add your truck info, to your signature, to help with future questions.

Before I had Ramboxes, the only thing I ever put in that little space, while hauling things like plywood, or drywall, was cans of paint, or other little items. Everything I could ever put there, fits in the Ramboxes.

That will make tail light replacement cheaper. Tail lights with the blind spot, are close to $2,000. Fords are suffering tail light thefts, because they are removable without opening the tailgate.

They are the same width. You can't put anything wider, unless you are on top of the wheel wells. The Ramboxes add storage to is otherwise unusable space.

I agree, batteries cause all sorts of weird problems, even though a tester will show good. The automatic parking brake can be turned off, with a setting.
