    Best price found for a Bakflip? (5'7" with Rambox and MFT)

    I have a Retrax Pro XR for Ram 1500 5.7, it was purchased new in December 2020 for my 2021 Ram. My truck is a lemon buyback for unsolved electrical issues, so i have the the accessories that i am taking off of the truck. EDIT: this fits a standard type bed, not a rambox - i just noticed the...

    Auto Start/Stop error

    I finally bit the bullet and had FCA buy the truck back, they had it in for repairs more than 120 days over the first year i owned the truck and the problem only became more frequent. I wanted them to simply replace the truck, but they refused,...I'm only on here now to try and unload the...

    Auto Start/Stop error

    good luck, after 9 months, many repair attempts, and a ton of replaced parts...there is still no solution i'm sending the truck back, Ram technicians aren't even able to identify the problem

    Does RAM re-sell trucks they buy back?

    Not all states have lemon/buyback branded titles...not all states have salvage titles either, it's surprisingly easy to accidentally buy a previous lemon vehicle in the used market. One way to check is to look at the list of owners on the vehicle CarFax and see if the vehicle manufacture is...

    Engine stalled / shut off

    I had no idea about this thread,....there is another "start/stop error" thread where i have been documenting my saga and now i'm giving up after fighting with this for a year https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/auto-start-stop-error.13093/post-604603

    new member sad story........

    You are not wrong in your troubleshooting,...but I have to play the devil's advocate and ask who are these dealer and manufacture technicians that would let a truck get go all the way through the lemon law buyback process without checking the gear limit selector.

    new member sad story........

    This nails it completely,...I was told a factory engineer/technician would "work on my truck" which later I found that it was a factory technician recommending or approving parts to replace (aka they fired off the parts canon). They just put in a phone call or a trouble ticket, and the resulting...

    21 ram 1500 limited e torque dead at 12k miles

    Getting in a hurry is only going to hurt your feelings, it may be a bitter pill 💊 to swallow, but you should consider settling in and researching all available options. None of us know the specific details of your case, but I don’t understand why they are not giving you a rental car. I suggest...

    21 ram 1500 limited e torque dead at 12k miles

    If the dealer has not yet diagnosed the source of the engine failure and identified the initial cause after having the truck for more than 2 weeks, then there is a compounding problem. I find it extremely odd that a basic rental car has not been provided to you. Did Customer Care provide a...

    Auto Start/Stop error

    I did give it some thought, but I specifically purchased the truck for the eTorque system and mpg savings as I commute the truck 70 miles a day in some of the heaviest traffic in the country (I-405 Los Angeles) 5 days a week Also, if the issue is so complex that it’s been unable to repaired...

    21 ram 1500 limited e torque dead at 12k miles

    checkout my post above, FCA Cares will provide you a rental and or reimburse other rentals They provided a basic rental car/truck, and then when i needed a truck for towing purposes i paid for that and they are reimbursing those costs and uber receipts. (regular rental 1/2 ton trucks from the...

    21 ram 1500 limited e torque dead at 12k miles

    If the repair work and subsequent repair visits for the same problem are not completed in 30 days total, then it's a lemon law case in California

    21 ram 1500 limited e torque dead at 12k miles

    California is "30 days in the shop" or "2 or more repair attempts for the same problem" California Department of Consumer Affairs Arbitration Certification Program - this is a free service that will help you determine if your vehicle qualifies for a buy-back or replacement under state law...

    Auto Start/Stop error

    My truck has been at the dealer 8 times for a total of nearly 150 days, a dozen different loaner/rental cars, and missed family trips and the truck is still not fixed. If it was not for the terrible car market and poor availability of trucks i wouldn't have waited so long and try so many repair...
