    Significant Noise From Front End Over Bumps

    That's about how I feel about it. So far I've taken mine in for: -What appeared to be some kind of leak by the transmission, dealer insists it was only grease, and to their credit, it's not back in almost 1000 miles since they checked it for me. -Noise in 4WD auto, dealer says normal since...

    Significant Noise From Front End Over Bumps

    I am bringing mine to the dealer on Monday, have an appointment. I told them about the body mount TSB, but I'm not so sure that's what mine is. The sound seems to be more in the front right, not as far back as the A pillar. But hey, that's their job to figure out - I found a reliable way to get...

    Two months and two thousand miles, thoughts so far.

    Hold out on the gas mileage. My 2015 Grand Cherokee with the Hemi also got terrible mileage until about 15-20k. My RAM is now at 15 average for my traffic laden commute. Up from 10, 12 and 13 for the first, second, and third weeks I had it. I’m on week seven now. It’s been improving for sure. I...

    MPG after Level and 35 inch tires?

    I was getting 9-10 for the first week, then about 12 for two weeks, and now I'm averaging about 15. I am sitting at 2600 miles, and so far, each week has gotten better. My Grand Cherokee with the same engine and similar weight (fully loaded Summit) was not getting much better than 16 on the same...

    What to do with a factory screw up.

    That would be my exact worry. I would insist they fix it, but that they get a complete rear axle assembly to put in, instead of doing a gear and carrier swap. It's a big job to change the carrier and gears, and requires a skilled technician who is experienced in doing this exact job. The wrong...

    Alignment time

    The dealer that I spoke to said as long as it's before 12 months or 12,000 miles, the Warranty will cover it.

    4WD auto?

    Interesting. On mine, 4Auto is definitely different from regular 2WD, namely, it won't turn as tightly and you can hear the mechanical differential noise as you turn, but you can idle through the turn no problem, even while on the brakes. With this transfer case and front differential, in 4Auto...

    4WD auto?

    I have mixed feelings on 4WD Auto. I don't think it's truly good to use on dry, hard surfaces - but on the other hand, the manual says it's okay to do full time. Yes, it does allow slip so as to not bind / wind up your system when turning and such like you'd experience with 4 High... but at the...

    Alignment time

    Thanks for the responses! I'm not having any weird pulling, but my left front is getting some abnormal outer shoulder wear on the tire compared with the other 3. Taking it in to the dealer on Wednesday, just wanted an idea of what to expect.

    Very nice! That's about what I get in mine from the video I posted a few weeks ago.

    Light shake far apart hemi

    If this is occurring at idle, it's been something I've noticed in every Hemi I've ever owned or been in. Intermittent shake that almost felt like a misfire. My Jeep did it, the RAM does it, the Charger R/T did it. I think it's just some normal symptoms of some imbalance with the design of the...

    5th Gen 4 Auto Transfer Case question

    Exactly, and you will get drive line bind / wind-up if you use 4Hi on high traction terrain like roads and such. I can tell the difference between 4A and 4Hi in mine for sure. 4A has a little bit of chatter and slip-related clutch noise as you make turns, whereas 4Hi will start binding up on turns.

    Parts falling down after brake pedal recall ..

    Looks like the clamp from the pedal. It probably wasn't secured / tightened properly. Probably easy to fix, but get it back to the dealer ASAP.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Not a bad DIY once you see how it all goes in/out. My second side went in easier than the first since I learned things the hard way. Definitely take off the lower wheel well liner in the picture here. Just five bolts and only 3 need total removal to get it out. Then turn your wheels so as to...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    The hooks just bolt right in, you reuse one of the bolts already in the frame and are supplied with the second bolt to each side in the packaging. You have to remove a really long bolt from the frame that has a stupid lock washer on it, required some ingenuity to get that bugger out. The plastic...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Added these matte black tow hooks last night when I got home from the dealership (had them check something out, which turned out to be nothing thankfully). Now just to wait for MOPAR to sell the fuel tank skid plate separately, and I will be able to complete the unavailable (at the time I...

    Don't see many crewcab with 6'4" bed

    To be perfectly honest, I was initially not very happy with having bought one with the 6.4' bed, when I got it home. The 5.7' version I wanted to check out, had just sold before I got to the dealership, and this was the only similarly equipped black crew cab they still had. I got a killer deal...
