    Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) stays on at 110 miles...WHAT???

    Is this a "thing", common with the new EcoDiesel or am I just unlucky? The check engine light on my two-week-old Ram 1500 stays lit up and the dealer says it is a faulty EGR vacuum line that needs to be replaced. I hope this is only a fluke and not a sign of things to come. I know the Gen 3...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    My factory ordered Laramie has finally arrived at my dealer. Our deal is still only at the "7k off MSRP plus available incentives at delivery" offer on the build sheet. I know I'll get the extended incentives, including the conquest and Chrysler Credit ones (36 mo 0% in my case). I didn't...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Wrecktal - Congrats to you. Our timing has been almost parallel from order to delivery even though yours had to travel much further. My truck arrived at the dealer Monday but I'm still hesitant to finalize the purchase. This is our dream truck for travel...which we can't do for the...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    My feelings exactly. If the factory can't build trucks and keep the pipeline filled where is their incentive to push sales with higher incentives? Maybe good dealer deals for a couple of weeks but once current inventory starts to dry up the great deal will as well. I'm waiting on a factory...

    Order Tracking

    RamChat told me once in transit..contact the dealer for updates. The last word from the dealer was it was scheduled to arrive at the SoCal hub in San Diego tomorrow. From there...who knows? I'm torn between holding off and seeing what FCA does with April incentives, taking the "bird in the...

    Order Tracking

    Just like me you just beat the factory shutdown. Unfortunately mine has not made it to the dealer...and who knows when it will. I don't know if shipping is affected or not. That's a long delay between ordering and getting built. Do you know why?

    Order Tracking

    Unfortunately we won't make much more as we both retired early several years ago and hadn't planned on filing for social security for a few more years. Our custom ordered Laramie was to be the ultimate retirement tow vehicle for hauling our travel trailer around the country. We have the cash...

    Order Tracking

    What a strange dilemma! I Finally got word from my dealer that our truck is in transit and scheduled to arrive in Mira Loma (San Diego area) on the 27th. As of March 13th it wasn't even scheduled for production from what RamChat told me so ours might end up being one of the last Rams built...

    Order Tracking

    My order date is a week later than yours. After two weeks of no contact from the dealer I tried RAM Chat and got this response: "Order is in the scheduling phase of the manufacturing process. • The parts required to build the vehicle are being scheduled and as soon as they available and...

    Order Tracking

    Wow...that's a long wait! Any particular reason it took so long? It seems certain specific options on the build can cause long delays. I hope mine has none of those. The brown/beige Laramie interior is extremely rare here on the west coast...but maybe different elsewhere. Could that hold...

    Order Tracking

    Dealers get “allocations” aka a number of cars they can order. Each OEM does it a little different, but basically, your dealer ran out of allocations, and has to wait a period of time until they can order your truck. Don’t know how long, but they do. I would ask them to either refund the...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Out the door means including tax and license, right? Is that the case here?

    Order Tracking

    Thanks! I did not know this...so I didn't ask as I assumed that the order would go in the next day or so. This salesman told me this but when I called back to speak to the "internet sales manager" she told me the person who does the ordering had been out sick (conveniently) the 3 days...

    Order Tracking

    I placed a deposit for my custom factory order on Tuesday with the understanding that they would let me know when the order was submitted to the factory by the dealer. After 4 days of silence I contacted the salesman and...after a lengthy delay before getting back to me...was told by text (not...

    Dealer factory order experience so far...should I be concerned?

    I placed a deposit for a factory order on Tuesday with the understanding that they would let me know when the order was submitted to the factory by the dealer. 4 days later I contacted the salesman and...after a lengthy delay before getting back to me...was told by text (not even a call)...
