    Coolant Temperature rides when Idle.

    My comments are clearly beyond your comprehension because this is a bunch nonsense. For gods sake, THINK HARDER. The exact opposite of your claim is true. If only 1 tsp runs onto the ground your bottle was barely overfilled; not severely overfilled as you claim. You are playing...

    Coolant Temperature rides when Idle.

    Anyone who claims the smell of antifreeze is normal has no clue what they are talking and that's a fact. Just a couple of table spoons too much antifreeze can in fact be enough to dump antifreeze on the ground. It's as if you are so stuck on proving me wrong yopiu are just blind and making...

    Coolant Temperature rides when Idle.

    It's absolutely not a trait of Rams. It's extremely rare and not a single one of the 4 Rams I have owned ever smelled like anti-freeze. My sister's 2021 Ram never smells like antifreeze. If you smell antifreeze it is leaking and that is just a simple fact. It may be a leak due to safety...

    Coolant Temperature rides when Idle.

    Nonsense. A teaspoon too much coolant is more than enough to overflow and cause a smell. If you smell antifreeze it is absolutely a leak. There is no other reason possible for smelling antifreeze. When you shut off your truck it does not get get cooler when it is shut off; it gets a lot...

    Coolant Temperature rides when Idle.

    I guess it's possible for very tiny amounts of antifreeze to vent from the radiator cap when the vehicle is at operating temperature and pressure increases when coolant stops pumping to cool the engine when it's first shut off. I've never smelled this any any of my Rams, but I guess it's a...

    Coolant Temperature rides when Idle.

    Then I have owned 4 abnormal Hemi Ram trucks. Coolant smell IS NOT normal on these trucks.

    Coolant Temperature rides when Idle.

    Nothing in this notice says a leak is normal. This notice is talking about moisture from external sources (condensation, rain, snow, etc) evaporating when the radiator gets hot. This does not look or smell like antifreeze. Unless you have overfilled the overflow bottle, if you see or smell...

    Driver's seat play rocking front to back?

    Sounds like something may be broken. I removed a seat mount bolt a while back and I swear it was torqued to about 10,000 ft lbs so I don't think they will accidentally work themselves lose.

    For the Ford brethren…

    "The kicker" price is a clue that the post you are referencing is most likely a complete fabrication. People often fabricate wild stories on social media. There was no $6000 bill from a dealer for a taillight assembly; it just didn't happen.

    Financing rebate - have to pay 4 payments?

    That was only a challenge to you because the person handling your refinance did not know what they were doing. Your original finance company did not wait for the state to type your name on the title before giving you the loan and, unless you are using someone like Bob's Loans to refinance...

    Financing rebate - have to pay 4 payments?

    Sounds like another example of the fabricated stories car sales people tell customers. I seriously doubt Stellantis is flagging customers and denying loans because they didn't make 6 payments on their last loan. No sane loan officer would engage in such foolishness, but then Stellantis is in...

    Will this coolant work!?

    It says right on the bottle that it meets Stellantis OAT requirement and it even specifically lists Ram. There is no reason to pay more for something that says "Mopar" on the bottle when it may come from the same assembly line anyway.

    Financing rebate - have to pay 4 payments?

    I think they teach this lie at car salesman school. All that matters is the terms that were listed on the paperwork you signed and I've never seen and auto loan that you could not pay off immediately without penalty. This is one of several stunts that dealers will pull that will cause me to...

    Mileage

    Not really a good source. Too dependent upon individual users entering every gallon of gas used and every mile driven. Forget to document one fill up or partial fill up and your Fuelly mileage reads better than reality. Given the spread shown for the same model of truck, I would guess the...

    Mileage

    The problem is not with your truck. EPA estimates listed on stickers have never been very accurate. According to this story, there are 18 employees at the EPA that test around 200 vehicles per year to give you an EPA estimate on the window sticker of every car sold in the country. They mostly...
