    Piston Slap

    Stopped in at a dealer this week. Showed them the video and they could definitely hear it. Was told that a “low RPM knock is pretty normal for the hemi”. If I wanted to book it in to be looked at then they could get me in sometime in April. :( So it begins. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Piston Slap

    I'm going to take it in. I don't think an engine with 22,000 miles on it should have this amount of slap. Honestly, my 2002 Mustang with a fully forged stroker and extra PTW clearance for the boost has less slap.

    It's a 2019 Limited with ~22,000 miles.

    Piston Slap

    OK - here is a better video. 0:28 - I put the truck in reverse with my foot on the brake and the noise starts. It gets louder when I put more load on the engine as well as when the RPMs drop. 1:00 - It can be heard pretty clearly. 1:27 - I put the truck in park and the noise go away. Put it...

    Piston Slap

    Thanks for the input everyone. I’ll try to get a better video. The sound is pretty clear in my original video and in person but a lot of the fidelity was lost on the YouTube conversion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Piston Slap

    Hi All, Since it's been cold in the mornings I've noticed what sounds like piston slap on every cold start. It does go away after the truck warms up and it's more noticeable when the truck is in gear with my foot on the brake or as I'm accelerating (under load). Here is a video that I took...

    Seatbelts

    Anyone? Even just a photo of the belts as they mount to the truck? I'm trying to determine if the middle and passenger belts share a bolt of if they are supposed to be on their oen bolts in the floor. Thanks!

    Seatbelts

    Does anyone have a photo or service schematic for the rear seatbelts in a crew cab? I’m specifically looking for how the belts attach to the bolts in the floor. Thanks!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Headlight shake

    So I noticed this the other day. I have a limited with the LEDs. I was at a light and my lights were flickering and jumping around like crazy on the vehicle in front of me. Almost like HID bulbs flickering. It was raining pretty hard so I thought that maybe something was getting wet inside...

    2 Tone Ivory Tricoat Back Half of Truck Paint Doesn't Match Front

    Good luck trying to get this fixed. I’ve been to two different dealers and gone all the way up to “enhanced” RAM Customer Service. I was told that they don’t consider this to be a defect and nothing will be fixed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    The wait is over! Worst in class lag?

    I wouldn’t expect any improvement. You just described my 2015 exactly and the AEM for those only made things worse, not better. People asked me how I liked my Ecodiesel. I would always tell them it’s like driving a gas golf cart. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Don't forget to change those cabin filters guys....just did and WHOA!

    It’s also good to keep in mind that some filters will look black even when new. This is because some contain carbon to remove odors. So, going by color isn’t always the best. It looks like this filter had enough “crud” that a replacement was a good idea. [emoji6] Riley Sent from my iPhone...

    The wait is over! Worst in class lag?

    How about when doing a rolling stop? Say a right or left turn through an intersection? My 15 eco diesel was very laggy in those situations. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Official Ivory White Tri-Coat Pearl Thread

    So, update on my paint mismatch. Taken it to another dealer and again it’s worked its way up to RAM Customer Service. Denied and RAM has told the dealer to do no further work on my vehicle. For the mismatched paint or any of my other issues. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    For the secret society - Black paint - front quarter panel?

    Got my truck back after 10 days at the dealer. They won't fix it - they said RAM told them not to fix it. I also received a call from "Enhanced" RAM Customer Satisfaction. They told me that the issue is normal for my vehicle and it will not be fixed. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here.
