    Air conditioning performance

    I am in Houston as well. Today my temp on the patio read 102 degrees in the shade. When my truck eventually gets here I will test the A/C and will refuse the truck if it does not perform well enough. For those not familiar with Houston weather, we usually have 4-5 months above 90 degrees (and...

    Crazy Ram Sale

    It is only only the cheap version (small print list MSRP of truck at $35K) of the Ram and only 1 or 2 trucks. It is a GIMMICK.

    Rambox/E-torque order tracking

    Slim, you and I have almost identical trucks. Mine was scheduled for building in June and then the week of July 23rd. All of a sudden my dealer emailed me Monday that I was in framing. Yesterday my truck showed as built and in I status. Don't give up. One day soon you may get that surprise...

    Thanks for the positivity.

    Rambox/E-torque order tracking

    I agree that the manufacturer may not be inclined to deal with the individual consumer. However, in this case the manufacturer has failed completely in communicating it's production issues not just with the consumer but also with the dealerships and the media. Honest and reliable communication...

    Rambox/E-torque order tracking

    Update: Just got an email from the dealership. My truck is allegedly in framing. MOTS still shows D1. I would hope that they would not start building a truck if it is just going to sit there afterwards waiting for the Ramboxes. There could be a slight glimmer of hope for all of us that the...

    Rambox/E-torque order tracking

    I ordered a day before you and I am still in D1 limbo. So is Snowman, Slim, and a few others. Just like you, I am debating cancelling but I will wait to see if they actually keep their word and build it next week. It is getting more ridiculous every day with the FCA / Ram failure to communicate...

    Tonneau Covers

    Had a rolling cover similar to this about 12 years ago. The drain tubes on the front of the bed got clogged frequently and water would enter the bed. Maybe this one has it figured out but just a heads up.

    Rambox/E-torque order tracking

    Limited, Rambox, eTorque. Ordered 5/7, D status for 40 days, D1 since 6/16. FCA/Ram claims I am scheduled for build week of July 23rd. I've heard that same build story for the end of June so I will not hold my breath this time (last time my wife said I looked more blue than a Smurf so I will...

    Order Tracking

    I'll believe it when I actually see it at the dealership. I just hope it is built as I designed it. There have been several option changes on the Ram website that I am not happy about.

    Order Tracking

    I received an e-mail 30 minutes ago to contact FCA with my case number. The person on the phone stated that my truck is scheduled to be built the week of July 23 and to check back July 30. He stated that this was all the info he has. If (and I mean IF !!!) this actually happens, it would mean...

    Order Tracking

    8 days ago I spoke to FCA / Ram on the phone. Nice lady promised to get me some answers by having a manager contact me within 1-2 business days. No one ever called. 2 days ago I used the Ram chat to try to get a build date since the one in June never happened. Lady on the chat was clueless as to...

    Order Tracking

    This is just a heads up. It may be nothing or it may be very important. I just tried to build my truck again on the Ram site and several disturbing changes were made since I ordered my truck. 1 - Level 1 equipment group now requires the trailer towing package (with the ugly manual towing...

    Order Tracking

    You sit and wait. Watch the grass grow, paint dry, grey hair popping up on your head from the anxiety, etc.. At least your build is complete.

    Order Tracking

    Just went on Ram Chat. The woman could not give me a build date. She said "our system shows we have all the parts ready". I told her that I was aware of the D1 status since June 16 and again asked whether a build date was scheduled. She said "not that I am aware of" and asked what kind of truck...

    Order Tracking

    After almost 60 days, I called FCA/Ram last Thursday. Lady took my info, stated that in her opinion the wait was unacceptably long (I know they say this to everyone) and she would push it up the food chain and at least try to get me a build date (last one was in June so that obviously was not...

    Anyone seen a 19' with the Rambox yet?

    Refresh my old brain. Which prediction?

    Factory bedliner, how did they spray the inside of the tailgate?

    The question is: With such a high volume of vehicles, do they have the time to properly prep every bed for the liner by taking the tailgate off, sanding the whole bed, etc.? If they just rush and spray the liner without proper prep (which takes a few hours per vehicle) then the quality may not...

    Factory bedliner, how did they spray the inside of the tailgate?

    Going the Line X route as well. My dealer was surprised when I built up the truck with all the toys but deleted the spray in liner. He did agree that Line X is a better way to go with a lifetime warranty.
