    8 speed Transmission starting in 2nd gear

    So, as I head back to the dealership this week to address some of the issues I still have, I'm unsure about what TCM update I received last time I had my truck serviced. The most recent TSB that I found on this forum - 21-002-19 - appears to show the Labor Operation number of 18-19-05-KY. My...

    8 speed Transmission starting in 2nd gear

    I had my truck serviced a couple of weeks ago, and they performed the TCM, ECM, and HCP (Hybrid Control Processor for eTorque) updates to my vehicle to address the transmission issue. I can say that it is noticeably better, but still not as smooth as I'd expect. I'm hoping this isn't the end...

    2019 Laramie - Buyer's Remorse

    I owned a 2015 F-150 Lariat (fully loaded) but when I saw the changes and improved technology updates that Ram had in the 2019 Ram 1500, I was sold. Aside from the typical minor issues, I can't see myself going back to the Ford. This truck checks all of the boxes for me and is fun to drive...

    Interior creaks, rattles and ticks

    Interestingly for me, the day I took my truck in, the squeaking stopped. I assume it just worked itself out somehow. If it comes back, at least I know what to do!

    Interior creaks, rattles and ticks

    I have noticed many of these in my truck as well - namely, the rattling from the driver side window and the squeaking from center console when pushing down on it - and I also have a creaking/squeaking coming from my steering column, the tailgate squeaks when you push or pull on it, and there are...

    8 speed Transmission starting in 2nd gear

    Hi Ewiz, Just wanted to let you know that I am experiencing the same issue that you describe. I am preparing to take my truck in for the first time to have this issue looked at along with a number of other minor issues I have with the vehicle. If I have any luck, I'll be sure to pass along...

    Poll: Which Bed for New Laramie (RamBox or Not)?

    I figured it could be up to a year if I wait, but I need a vehicle way sooner than that. If I knew exactly how long I needed to wait, I could find an alternative, but don't want to wait a year to find out it'll be longer (or never). Might as well get a truck I can enjoy for now based on what's...

    Poll: Which Bed for New Laramie (RamBox or Not)?

    Seems like that's the general consensus right now...makes me feel better about possibly ordering a short bed! Thanks for the info!

    Poll: Which Bed for New Laramie (RamBox or Not)?

    If I had a good idea of when they would be available on the long box, I could probably make arrangements. But I'm moving back to Indiana in a couple of months and don't have anything to drive currently. Would be hard to wait a long time for a new ride!

    Poll: Which Bed for New Laramie (RamBox or Not)?

    So I'm getting ready to place an order for a 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie with all the bells and whistles. I previously had a truck with a crew cab and a 6.5' box, which I think looks more balanced and also allows for moving/hauling larger items. I'm torn between getting the new Ram with a crew cab...

    RamBox on 6'4" Bed

    Hello all! I'm looking to order my first Ram and wanted to find out if the RamBox will be available on a 6'4" bed. Different dealers around me seem to have different information or opinions. Does anyone know definitively? Thanks!
