Took a load of garbage to the city dump and while I was unloading it, a guy with his fairly new Ram backed up beside me.

First thing out of his mouth was "How do you like your truck?" Of course my answer was I love it, its been an awsome truck for the past 2yrs.

He said to me that he had bought the wrong truck and wished he had bought a Chevy, wanted to know whayt gears I had and how much I could pull he seemed happy with what I told him.

 

The best part was when he said his hemi Ram goes like he!! but keeps falling a part and is forever in the dealer for warranty and according to him his truck is a peice of junk :crackup: .

My response to that was If you think that is fast you should try out a GM truck with the 6.2 like the one in my truck, this truck goes like he!! His eyes went real wide when he heard about the 6.2. :thumbs:

My brother's 2011 Ram hemi has been flawless, he loves it. Sounds like he got a lemon.

A lot of the guys I work with have Ram trucks and are very happy with them. Besides blowing motors, transmission problems, bad MPG's, the saggy coil spring rear suspension, and gauge clusters going out, they like them.

I don't really know anyone with a 2009+ Ram but a lifelong friend of mine who has always been a Dodge guy recently traded his 2006 Ram for a F150. He was having tons of front end issues and the bed was beginning to rust and he's someone who kept his truck clean and cared for year round. He's also hoping to dump his wife's Durango soon because it too isn't being all that great.

I have a friend that had to trade his '11 Hemi Ram off due to finacial reasons. He loved it, not one issue. Wishes he could have afforded it instead of trading down to an '09 5.3 Silverado. Seemed like a nice truck but I just couldn't get past the looks, honestly.

Hadn't thought of the coils sagging. Those will look great 5-10 years down the road.

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.

      from another thread   Update...although the truck sometimes seems to idle weird and the transmission shift a little weird, I've driven about 7,000  miles and no issues.   However, the way GM has handled my rental reimbursement, the situation when my truck quit, and the recall in general has led me to this point...I have driven a GM vehicle for the past 46 years and unless I buy a C3 Corvette, this is the last GM vehicle I will ever own.
