    FIXED: (updated) Pano roof / head liner rattle/click over small bumps

    Keep us posted, mine is very intermittent. sometimes I hear it constantly and other times I won't hear anything for days. When I get a bit of free time I'm going to try backing these off a touch and see what happens. While we're talking about it does anyone have any recommendations on grease...

    Rolling marble sound, drivers door

    If you want to take it to a shop, a reputable body shop or window glass shop will have plenty of experience with this kind of stuff. I had a similar issue with an old chevy colorado I had and when I wheeled it in to ask the body guy he brought his tools out and popped the panel off in the...

    Failed water pump 63k miles

    I'm not sure if it's like this on the current engines but on the 2006-2008 engines if you had air in the coolant system there was a potential of overheating and dropping valves. I would take extra care to burp the system and get as much air out as possible if you do this at home. Not worth the...

    Failed water pump 63k miles

    I wanted to add my experiences. Not with my current RAM but my last 5.7 I had to replace the water pump twice in 200k miles. It hasn't been a constant issue in my experience but is definitely a regular maintenance item. I understand some cars have no water pump issues and run indefinitely...

    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...
