You could ask to see the service record from the rental company. The question I would ask is if the truck had ever been returned mid rental and why?

FWIW It's a rental truck. It's been driven and used, not babied at all. It's most likely had basic care as needed and spec'd out by RAM. If it was going to break it would have already done that by now. As far as electrical/tech gremlins, all of us and all truck brands can be subject to...

Some of these trucks develop a rear brake moan. Mine did and I added the rear brake brackets and it solved the problems for me. If you do a search here on the forum you will see several posts about the issue. I would get it backing out of the garage in the mornings especially on cool mornings.

The frame has been deformed twice, once when it was damaged and once again when it was straightened. The grain of the metal in the frame was compressed on the inside of the bend and stretched on the outside of the bend. It does not have the same strength as it did before and never will again...

I had similar troubles as you describe when I first started out with the RAM. I'm 6'2, 200 lbs. I have my seat raised up a bit so my knees are lower than my hips slightly. I've adjusted the front edge of the seat to the point where there is very little pressure on the lower side of my legs...

Invisable Glass Cleaner made by Stoner Co. just flat works. First time you use it you may have to go over the glass 3 or more times before it stops streaking. Then it's very simple. Another way is to mix 50% isopropyl alcohol and 50% water in a quart spray bottle, with about a cap full of...

either that or Dave must be hard to supervise

Here's my question. Why can't we have a single cab optioned out 1500 DT with a 8 foot bed like we used to have? What's wrong with a truck like that? I'm tired of hanging stuff over the tailgate or driving with it down. Trouble with an 8' bed on a crew or quad cab is the truck just doesn't fit...

Gee whiz I used to hold the flashlight for my dad when I was a kid. "Grocery getter" is nothing. Besides that, I DO go get the groceries in it.

I've always thought the big three missed the boat when they stopped offering a single cab with an 8' bed in a 1500 series. I would not hesitate to give up the quad cab I have to get to an 8' bed if I could get it equipped like it is now.

There are two hooks in the front, two D clips on the middle and the latch on the back. I've never known mine to bounce at all.

Drain tube sticks out of the firewall on the right side. I suspect one or both of your cowl drains are blocked.

I understand for frustration, same for me. Once I got it out, I cut a small V notch in both sides so you can collapse it a little. Makes it easier to get out.
