It's been fun...

But it's time to say goodbye. I traded my 2019 Ram Rebel in last Friday. It was the truck that saw me buy a house, start my business, marry the love of my life, transport two newborns around, and took me to so many cool places, hunting and fishing. The truck had over $15k in warranty repairs over the last 3-4 years. All the common Ram problems, you name it, I had it. Exhaust manifolds, leaks, rear window, power tilt mirrors, evap core ($$$$), etc. The final straw for me was the eTorque failing for the third time. Despite all that, I loved that truck. If it wasn't an eTorque? I might have kept it. I will say, my local dealer really took care of me. They got so much covered that Mopar fought them on.

Best wishes to everyone and good luck with your trucks! I have a few odds and ends I'll be selling from my Rebel on here in the next couple days so keep your eyes open.

Not that it really matters, but this is what I ended up going with. I wanted the most simple, naturally aspirated, tried and tested motor I could find. I drove 8 hours round trip to get it. They gave me a great deal on my trade.

That sucks, sorry to hear. Great looking Tremor!!! Not a bad replacement.

I think the Tremor is a fantastic replacement. Wish I could afford one. Keep an eye on the cylinder deactivation in the Coyote engine...they can end up with similar issues like Rams MDS system.

I appreciate the heads up on that. My only regret was not being able to wait another year and maybe score a new truck with lightened emissions regs.

Sorry to see you go but congrats. No one can blame you for moving on, sounds like you had all the patience in the world for your Ram.

Man, I feel your pain to some extent.

If Ford had a real quad cab set up or if I was open to a Crew…. I might be right there with you. I’m kind of pissed off about my new tow module errors I did not have before the recall replacement. But those suicide doors on the Ford Super Cab’s are a turn off and GM doesn’t remotely interest me. Makes me kind of stuck, hopefully my dealer can sort it out.

Good luck with your new truck. Hopefully you grow to love it as much as your Ram.

I’m pretty sure a tune can deactivate that “feature”. I know they figured that out early in the GM and combined with using a real oil my buddy has had 60k trouble free miles on his 6.2.
