    Horrific Gas Mileage Hemi eTorque

    Does the update actually help the truck achieve better mpg numbers, or does it just reprogram the computer to calculate it correctly?

    ETorque Issue

    Are you calculating your mileage manually to verify what the dash is telling you? Could it just be a faulty calculation in the electronics?

    Negative Equity

    I think I partially caught lightning in a bottle because the truck market in general has seen huge appreciation since 2009. The same truck today sells for ~$40K. That being said, Tacomas, Tundras and 4Runners have some of the best resale value in the industry and actually make a decent...

    Negative Equity

    Me personally, I would wait a year and pay off the truck before I bought a new one. The price of the new ones is only going to keep going down and you will give RAM another year to work out all the kinks in the manufacturing process. As far as equity in cars go, that's why I always bought...

    The sun thing happened to my last truck. It was a Toyota Tacoma and the sun melted the painted plastic bezel that surrounded the front grill.

    OEM 20" tire cold PSI

    Did you check the pressure while the tires were cold, or after driving? Once they heat up, the pressures can rise 5lbs. Likewise, the pressure on the door jamb is a MAX cold pressure. I usually inflate 1-2 lbs below the max level because the ride is better.

    eTorque: 6 Things You Probably Didn't Know

    I looked throughout all the UConnect settings for the ECO light and couldn't find anything. I also couldn't find anything in the owners manual.

    eTorque: 6 Things You Probably Didn't Know

    Thanks but I'm referring to the MDS functionality in general. I don't have any indicator lights that show when it's active, at least that I have seen. Good to know the max gear selection deactivates it though. I'm assuming from what I've read thus far here, that this is just cylinder...

    eTorque: 6 Things You Probably Didn't Know

    I'm not familiar with how the system operates and I can't find anything in the manual about it. Can someone point me to it in the owner's manual?

    Tonneau Covers

    Looks awesome. I like that its one smooth surface on top rather than the slats of the MX4 where it folds. Very slick.

    eTorque: 6 Things You Probably Didn't Know

    The engineers behind these things are some of the best in the world. There may be an impact, but it also may not be a factor in the useful life of a vehicle in today's world. To each his own however.

    eTorque: 6 Things You Probably Didn't Know

    It still takes some effort and driving with fuel economy in mind. I am averaging 17.5-18 mpg. I have the gauge display set to instant fuel economy and with focus you will get there but you have to try and that's not as fun when you have a HEMI.

    Front end clunk while turning - FIXED - TSB # 23-047-18

    Hi Darlene and thank you for the update. As described, this sounds like a different issue than the one that appears to be pointing to the body mount isolators and the bolts being replaced. No one has complained about steering wheel response and most feel the clunk in the floor boards, not the...

    Horrific Gas Mileage Hemi eTorque

    I'm averaging between 17-18 mpg with mostly non-highway driving. Highway is only about 10-15% of my driving. I'm also driving for fuel economy and not hammering it a lot. When I do, I'm falling into the high 16's. When I do some highway miles, I'm usually jumping up around 18.5 mpg but don't...

    Streaming music issue 12in Uconnect

    I experience the same issue with my iPhone via CarPlay. So far I have been able isolate two situations where it occurs. It happens when a new song plays and only during the first one or two seconds of the song. It's also only a single "skip" and after that play resumes normally until the next...

    Front end clunk while turning - FIXED - TSB # 23-047-18

    Same here. My clunk has diminished over time (1600 miles on the odometer). I took it in and the dealer was useless but in their defense, I couldn't replicate the noise. However they weren't even interested in looking for it or helping me. Can't hear it....can't help you. I asked them for a...

    Still no action on my truck that ws ordered on 9/18

    It is what it is. You just have to be patient. As far as I'm concerned, with the number and variety of problems that some people are having with some of them, let them take their time and don't rush them. Some things you just can't control. This is just one of those things where you assume when...
