    Realtruck.com probs; stay away!

    I bought from Realtruck a year ago and the wind deflectors didn't fit. Customer service couldn't understand the problem and manager seemed afraid to come to the phone. Ultimately they decided I was doing something wrong. The worst part was their attitude. I truly think they care if the...

    Ordering from Mark Dodge Or Koons Really That Easy?

    I've tried Kernersville several times and it was a complete waste of time. Their price is always a thousand or two more than MD. No thanks.

    Speedometer/Cruise control discrepancy

    My 2013, my 2016, and my 2024 have all had dead accurate cruise control. Set to 60 and it maintains 60. Not 59 or 61. I don't care if it is calibrated by the moon. It just works. Maybe just lucky but in the US mostly in mid Atlantic area, I've driven 500,000 miles typically at 8mph over the...

    E TORQUE was a big mistake.

    MGUs aren't $2400. I just bought one, $1000 out the door. It did take two months.

    Ordering from Mark Dodge Or Koons Really That Easy?

    Deal with Anthony at MD. He'll get for you every discount possible and a lowet cost than Koons, plus Koons dealer processing is 3x higher. I had my vehicle delivered about 1200 miles away for about $900 and that was well worth it, because the big local dealer wanted $3000 more than MD. You...

    New RAM 1500 Hemi 5.7 only getting 9-10 mpg!

    On my 3rd Laramie 5.7 1500 4wd. 321, now with 18,000mi, and to my surprise the computer indicates 21.1 overall mostly highway since new. I carry about 600 pounds of equipment too. I know guys say the computer reads maybe 1 mpg high, but still.

    Gas mileage

    24 Hemi in a Laramie, computer says my avg mpg over 18,000 mi is 21.1. Its my 3rd hemi and the mpg surprised me. Pretty good for a 5,000 pound 4wd truck. I know some say a hand calc is often 1mpg or so lower, but even still.

    Bad headline. It's in China, and not the overall Stellantis, but a separate joint venture with Chinese. Non event

    eTorque Bearing Replacement, Fixed Grinding Noise

    I just read online where a late model ram owner with no mgu trouble yet, bought a new mgu for $900. He said he likes access to spare parts, especially ones that can ground your truck for 4 months. Plus you can always resell it later. Some on ebay asking $2000.

    Koons Ram up to 9.5% under invoice!!

    Wouldn't buy from Koons if it was 50% off. They appear to play all kinds of games and might offer discounts you can never get. Then when it come to rebates they act brain dead. It was impossible for me to get any idea on rebates from them. In contrast, mark dodge calculated them perfectly...

    E torque alternator.

    Anybody not wanting to wait 41 days or 3 months for an mgu replacement, if you have medium high mechanical skils, can perform the $25 bearing replacement. Alternatively any good mechanic can easily do it for you, if you know one. In that case, maybe the labor is $150, maybe more or maybe less.

    Does anyone have the DL to the newer uconnect5 firmware u31.42 or u35.26 for the us yet?

    Mine is a 24, and I got the quirky error code 5 after a failed attempt of a Ram attempted auto update over the air. Programmer has to be dumb as a bag of hammers.
