I was going to suggest an exorcism, glad the dealer is fixing it instead.

You'd first have to know exactly what kind of rear axle these trucks have. I asked that question a couple of weeks ago on a forum, can't remember if it was this one or not. Absolutely no answer-I don't think many owners know either. It looks like a derivative of the old mopar corporate 9 1/4"...

That's great, but we're not talking about how the average driver perceives it, we're talking about how it actually IS.

Not at all, the software and electrical systems are very different from 2024 models.

Hi all, I have a cheap code reader, but I don't know whether it would tell me if there's a pending code set. My truck has kind of stuttered once or twice when taking off gently from a stop, but the check engine light has not come on and the code reader says no dtc's found. Can I be...

You're absolutely right about that. However, that does not mean turbocharging is causing that, they've managed to screw plenty of non-turbo stuff up too.

I think there's a difference in terminology here that's contributing to this. The guy I quoted seems to be talking about the actual engine itself, not ancillary stuff like programming and even turbo cooling systems. You're maybe talking about the whole package including that stuff? If so, I...

Well, considering he works on these for a living his opinion migbt carry some weight.

This is good advice. I've used clamp on ammeters with good success in finding a parasitic drain, and like he said, the reconnection of the wire during insertion of a conventional ammeter can and will "wake up" modules and such, causing a temporary current draw that is easily mistaken for a...

Perhaps lemon law it?

Similar to waterman above, I believe there's serious problems here. Like he said, it's easy (and often true) to remind people that few people join forums to tell about how great their vehicle is doing. The media never reports on the flight that didn't crash. But, that's not always correct...

You can be sure it does. They didn't put amps capable of powering 19 separate speakers to decent volume in a head unit.

She hasn't gotten in the truck yet since last night. However, the boards are about a foot below where she's been stepping up before, so they kind of can't help but improve things. I'll find out for sure soon.

Dealer should be doing better than keeping your truck for weeks for something that happened on the second DAY of ownership. They probably aren't required to, but it would be good business sense and common decency to put in extra effort to make the customer whole in such a situation.

Nobody knows?

Just wanted to post an update, I received my running boards yesterday and installed them. It's one of the easiest procedures I've done recently. The studs for mounting them come on the truck from the factory, and weren't even dirty because my truck is so new. I hung the running boards on the...

My new laramie has about 230 miles on it. The SES light has not come on. I checked for pending misfire codes yesterday and there were none, so that's encouraging. To be clear, I've had no symptoms of any problem at all, I just decided to check preemptively in case some were pending.

Oh boy, and now your journey begins...

Were you in the Marines from '87 to '91, for 4 years? I was wondering if that's what your name stood for.

The thing is, apparently they have not figured it out.
