    I encourage people to make safety reports with the NHTSA

    I made the report over the phone and they gave me an Office of Defects Investigation Number. They also gave me an email address to send any documentation to (pictures and video). The person I spoke with was very courteous, helpful, and thorough. I told them that I would be encouraging other...

    Hemi Update - Ordering Open

    Which is which to you? I don't think any of those descriptions match either the Hemi or the Hurricane. I would love a silent engine.

    I encourage people to make safety reports with the NHTSA

    Many people here face the same safety-related issues that I face: - A water leak at the rear window causes safety systems to become inoperative when driving. - The transmission going into neutral when applying gas. There is a TSB for the first item, but if you're 1 mile over the extended...

    Truck spazs out while driving, key fob not recognized

    These are the safety-related messages that my truck displayed: Service Airbag System Service Electric Stability Control Service Trailer Brake System Service Park Brake Service Antilock Brake System Service Power Steering I can confirm that power steering did not work, which leads me to believe...

    Truck spazs out while driving, key fob not recognized

    Everyone that this happens to should use https://www.nhtsa.gov/report-a-safety-problem I will also make a report about the Shift to Park issue that happens when you press the accelerator pedal. That is also a safety issue if you're trying to get out of the way from another vehicle hitting you.

    Truck spazs out while driving, key fob not recognized

    In the video, it looks like none of the truck's safety systems were working. I was on the highway when this happened. Thankfully no one hit me, nor did I have to apply any defensive driving that required traction control or ABS. If RAM programmers have the hazard lights flash instead of the...

    Truck spazs out while driving, key fob not recognized

    Here's a video of it spazing out a few months ago, it was a one-off before the TSB warranty expired, but RAM won't honor it. After the past two weeks of trying to reach out to them, they finally called me back and said they will not honor the warranty or give me a goodwill. "@RamCares" might...

    Bed Cover Chaos

    I bought a rolling cover for my Rambox, it's manual but it works well. TCU-CR305MT - Truck Covers USA Roll Tonneau Cover Matte Black and TCU-AX-500/501 - Truck Covers USA Yakima It had a manufacturing defect where one of the holes was drilled slightly off, but rather than demand a replacement...

    Hemi Update - Ordering Open

    I'm curious why you're curious about knowing why I'm curious. Sorry for asking a question? 🤨 It seems that you were being critical of my question. I'm not complaining that people have choices, I was asking why someone chooses a particular choice. 🙃 Edit: based on his "laughing" response...

    Hemi Update - Ordering Open

    I'm curious, other than the sound, and I think 1,000(?) pounds more of towing capacity, why the Hemi? The Hurricane has more torque, more horsepower, and is lighter. Less weight means faster acceleration. And yes, I tow with my Hemi (before the Hurricane was an option).

    2025 1500 with transmission issues/disappointing

    I mean, technically they were right. They didn't say it was "good", they said "normal" - meaning a lot of them do that. 🙁 I have a 33 gallon tank in my 2019, I've never noticed a slosh. At half full, 16.5 gallons times 6.3 pounds per gallon for premium = 104 pounds of fuel, not that much...

    How far did you go to pick up your 5th Gen Ram ?

    At 33:11 the dealership employee says the truck has double-pane windows... WHAT??? Link to timestamp: youtu.be/2cfB2t7Oo9E?t=1990

    How far did you go to pick up your 5th Gen Ram ?

    Has anyone gone back to their local dealership after buying from Mark Dodge to show them the sales sheet that lists out the price, taxes, etc to "rub it in their face"? 😂 Although, if they truly can't do it because of dealership volume discounts/incentives, then that might be too mean 🫤

    How far did you go to pick up your 5th Gen Ram ?

    Just out of curiosity, does anyone know what kind of dealership incentives RAM gives? (for volume of sales, maybe other metrics?)

    Poor customer service

    That sucks. A random warning doesn't really help people though. Your warning does sound like it has you riled up, so much so that you've gone out of your way to post here. I appreciate that you want to help others, but again, a random warning doesn't do much. Perhaps you can tell us just the...

    How far did you go to pick up your 5th Gen Ram ?

    What's this about? I would like to learn about Mark Dodge if RAM doesn't screw me over on my current truck and the Ramcharger doesn't have issues. Is it this? Benefits of Factory Ordering | Mark Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram

    Transmission randomly shifts into neutral and shows error to shift into Park then back to Drive

    Apparently some auto part stores might replace those labels on their old inventory. My brother saw a battery with a sticker for one month in the future... This is a common safety (I hope there is a recall) problem (including my truck) and apparently the fix for most people is cleaning the...

    Help please.

    No idea what the wire is for, but along the lines of what MannyN wrote, you could try something like https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07S62KYSL remove a little bit of the plastic around the broken ends with a wire stripper, put the wires into each end of the wire connector, and use a head gun (a...

    Engine hours! Let’s see what you have.

    You're averaging 70 MPH when you're driving? And seven times more idling than driving? How often are you doing your oil changes?
