    Transmission service

    I think we all have real trust issues for very real reasons. I know my local dealers service reps at the counter tell me real shady things when I declinde all the extra service. Oh you don't want to pay 2k for a "transmission service and intake manifold cleaning at 20,000 miles? Well it would...

    Ordering from Mark Dodge Or Koons Really That Easy?

    I hear you, I'm not thrilled with the E torque either. When I was traveling I was able to get a Wagoneer as a rental and I enjoyed the hurricane.

    Ordering from Mark Dodge Or Koons Really That Easy?

    Congratulations on ordering a new truck! I'm sure Anthony and his team will take care of you. The number one thing I valued working with Mark Dodge was the transparency with everything. You will have to share your experiences with us once you take delivery. I see your signature is a 2022...

    Ordering from Mark Dodge Or Koons Really That Easy?

    I ordered my truck through MD in 2023. I sent them the build sheet and they asked for $1000 deposit. When the truck was delivered they called me on Zoom to go over the financing. They explained everything in great detail. Everything added up and made sense. The gentlemen I spoke with was very...

    2022 Laramie with Multifunction tailgate - Bed cover options

    I also have the X4S, Once you get the brackets installed if you hold the rails up to the bed you will see where you have to remove the material. It's a great cover, I've been very happy with mine.

    2022 Laramie with Multifunction tailgate - Bed cover options

    I have the MFT and I would strongly suggest you get the aftermarket braces. There is a MFT bed cover thread that's 50 pages long that goes through a lot of this information. Do not take recommendations on what covers people are using unless you are sure they also have an MFT. Even with the...

    1st oil change

    From the dealership my oil filter was on so tight that it stripped the "hex" socket on the end of the filter using an oil wrench to try to get it off. I had to resort to a set of 36" channel grips to unscrew it. The drain plug was tight enough that when it did loosen it made a "pop" noise when...

    2022 RAM 1500 4x4 Rear Diff issue

    Definitely not a common problem I've seen posted about. I'm glad they took care of you under warranty, as they should. Just an observation, I typically see people with differential trouble have lift kits, over sized tires, and I think if you combine that with the relatively low payload of the...

    Ram 1500 5700 E battery Voltage

    I don't believe there is any documentation however as far as I understand it the voltage on the E torque systems do fluctuate more. My best guess would be your voltage dropped on your long 80 mile drive due to the 48 volt battery pack being fully charged. Let us know what the dealer has to say.

    Etorque Sensitivity

    I suspect the loss of traction could also be from the factory tires. I test drove a few trucks back to back in the wet before buying mine and one had whatever they typically ship with from the factory and the traction control light was coming on while trying to pull out into traffic and get up...

    RHO CDI

    I think the CDI is the employee pricing discount, please correct me if I'm wrong. If you didn't special order this truck I'd strongly recommend getting a quote from Mark Dodge as their regular pricing is typically FAR below any CDI or Employee discounts you would receive from your local dealer...

    Ram 1500 5700 E battery Voltage

    The E Torque system runs at 13.4-13.6 on the gauge normally. Only the Non E torque trucks run 14+.

    The Poor Shifting Transmission Thread

    Hello Everyone, I just wanted to bring this thread to the top again. I'm at 30k miles and now that the weather is heating up the harsh starting when moving from a stop as described in previous posts seems to be more common when hot. I'm unsure if this is due to the E torque programming...
