I have been in contact with RamCares, they followed up looking for additional info which I provided. Hoping for a response soon. Just for clarification, I didn't check myself. I had a tire shop and the dealer both tell me it was an issue... the tire shop refusing to do an alignment as a...

No... none. No discernable evidence of an issue while driving. However, I am told that the truck will not pass the MA State Inspection, which for me is in August. If it doesn't pass inspection it effectively takes my truck off the road. I'm hoping between now and August, something somewhere...

Thanks for the quick response! Sent you a message back with all the details. Let me know if you need anything else. Greatly appreciate any help you can provide.

After looking closer at my pics, I went out and cleaned off the area. There's a stamping that says W 2019 and some kind of symbol... I hope someone can ID it.

Updating this thread... I finally made it to the dealer today to have it looked at, and they confirmed that both have excessive play and need to be replaced... and by replaced they mean both lower control arms to the tune of $2300! I'm beyond furious, but hoping this is some kind of mistake...

What did you end up doing? I'm running into this myself, and I can't believe that you need to replace the entire control arm instead of the ball joint. I'm furious.

Glad to hear your truck finally came. Congrats! Don't go too crazy with tire pressures right now in March with all the temp swings we get. You'll be at 55 PSI one day, 50 the next, and 57 the day after that. You won't get a low pressure warning until below 49 psi when cold... or at least...

No... it's all good! No harm, no foul. You would think I'd learn to stop being an optimist.

He's calling me out, rightly, for something stupid I said. I guess I was right and wrong... but, well, here we are. I was dead wrong about what I thought the outcome would be.

Actually, I will say I was right about the govt tanking domestic energy production... that did happen and now fuel prices are horrible... I just didn't think they would actually do it. I was dead wrong about that.

Yep... I was... We'll see what happens in PA in 2022 and 2024, and if there's a reversal in domestic energy production in the interim. Here's to hoping there will be... but I'm doubtful.

I have yet to make it in to the dealer to have mine looked at... life and work have got in the way. That said, I don't feel the slightest indication something is amiss... no sound, no sloppiness in the steering, no wondering on the road, no pull to one side or the other, no perceivable ware to...

In very much the same vein... Saturday was sunny and 62 - very rare occurrence for February in Massachusetts, so of course we went to the beach! Got the truck good and filthy from the combination of wet sand, mud and frozen piles of seaweed. Got it all cleaned up, only to have 8ish inches of...

I don't think you get the efficiency you'd want doing it that way. They don't have regen from breaking/coasting worked out well enough, enough energy storage in small batteries, etc... so you're talking about a big engine anyway. In your scenario, the truck is pulling a heavy load AND...

Stellantis is most certainly developing and even selling them now... the Wrangler 4Xe is one. They are incrementally developing and releasing them. The new Grand Cherokee is supposed to be getting a PHEV option soon. I think for trucks, it's a higher bar to get them to do truck things under...

In part because of batteries. One, there's just not enough to go around and EV's get the lions share (look at the new Tundra hybrid getting stuck with Ni batteries). Two, battery energy density is still an issue, just less so for them. And three, when the battery does go flat during hard...

I don't disagree. Tesla made EV sexy, so everyone is chasing it and governments are forcing it even more.

Until they solve the battery energy density and charging issues, EV trucks in particular will not be widely accepted. The typical truck buyer has either an immediate use case, a desired use case, or both, that are not compatible with EV trucks. Hybrids like the Powerstroke make much more sense.

I just ripped my Mopar cover that came with the truck when I bought it. I got way to aggressive trying to get ice off. Started to look for replacements and I think the SFT is the exact Mopar cover I have now, minus the Mopar logo. It's actually been a really good cover, functionally.

This... they are essentially different tires. My spare from the factory is a "A/T3Wa", and I just recently put on new "A/T3W". Pretty stark differences. Flat out awesome tires in snow and ice... have had plenty of both the last couple weeks.
