A few years back Dave Smith was bought out by an investor group. However I have nothing to complain about. My sales guy was very professional (other than handing me off for the obligatory finance office sales pitch). Full transparency via the phone, email, and in person. I didn't have to...

I haven't tried those coupons but I bet there's a disclaimer saying it's the dealership's discretion whether they honor them. I went to the Mopar website where some coupons are listed and a sales price is shown with asterisks however there were no details what the asterisks mean. Typical...

No doubt there are conditions that can substantially reduce the effects but it doesn't solve the inherent problem. As has been said many times, "in spec" can be anything FCA wants it to be for production quality/warranty work and doesn't mean it meets the industry standard. Of course a few...

That is awesome news. Fingers crossed it's effective.

Unfortunately he will learn a lesson. No good deed goes unpunished.

That's good news. You probably didn't need to post that message and out the guy.

I agree. Low profile tires in a pickup is character building especially with today's dilapidated roads. And in my personal opinion, the ride gets even better going from 20's to 18's.

Someone asked how can they afford to do it so cheap. One reason is because it isn't backed by FCA. The extended warranty is an FCA LLC entity that can legally shut down with no responsibility, liability and get reinvented later with via signatures and state court filings. There are many...

I've found you have to be smarter than the system to make it optimally work for you. And as already been said there's still collision warning value when not in use. It's standard on some mid priced vehicles already. As the design stabilizes and costs are brought out, it will become required...

It sounds like something related to the drivetrain is lose. I would take it in.

I've experienced a throttle surge issue but only a few times in the last year. For me it felt more like a lunge as it wasn't a sustained throttle application. It was more of an inappropriate initial throttle application by the drivetrain control logic. I assumed it was related to the...

I've been keeping an eye on the 3rd gen ecodiesel rollout and have only seen a couple of minor issues. The folks on the ecodiesel forum feel it'll be much improved over the prior gen ecodiesel. Less lag, more power, good fuel economy, and so far better reliability. It all depends on your needs...

You're right. I guess his fuel economy is a bit on the lower side then.

That's very good fuel economy for a hemi pickup let alone with oversized wheels and tires. There was a recent story of a 2020 ecodiesel 4x4 owner barely squeaking out a bit over 1000 miles with a 33 gallon tank and 3.21 rear end...

Yep, 22's compared to 20's will always have a harsher ride. It's objective data that's easily collected.

I couldn't find any significant mention of a/c problems @RamTrucks, but I haven't tweeted in a while and Twitter looks totally foreign to these eyes.

This stuff isn't news. Most understood there's a reason FCA wanted to sell itself to any suitor the last few years. FCA took shortcuts and failed to do necessary homework or invest in future technologies. Instead they bought federal greenhouse credits from Tesla almost every year to keep...

Yep. The only way to know is to peel the onion. Until then it's all puffy chest banter.

Do you know anyone who tore apart a few gen 5 a/c systems and demonstrated failed blend door mechanism/design? If so, I'd be with you. Otherwise it's a far cry from sticking a thermometer in 4 air vents and claiming you've solved the problem. There's too many variables for a thoughtful...

Exactly. It doesn't offload FCA's neglect or responsibility to fix it. That has been my argument all along but some on here are so defensive they can't see the forest from the trees.
