Why are you so hung up on a console shifter? That's car stuff right there and nothing more. I can see a floor console being desirable but the shifter just wastes space. Keep it on the column where it

Sounds about right... I admit that I've always wanted a truck with "wheel to wheel" carpet!

Always has been a Dodge Always will be a Dodge.   I always call them Dodges just because it pisses off the Dodge guys.   (sometimes I even call it a Fiat)

It's not dodge anymore it's Ram and it's a nice truck. But I came from a gmt 900.some things I liked in my Chevy and other things I love in my Ram. The Ram is more sophisticated and powerful. It has a beautiful ride and a nice interior. Power train and suspension are amazing. Some interior things I could leave out. I wish GM would just condense resources and make one truck.

 

(more) Powerful? Did Ram announce something that I missed???

Making the truck line its own brand was done strictly for marketing reasons. Nothing special about Ram vs Dodge Ram other than the new ones have been redesigned, same as they would under Dodge.

Throttle response is not power, though untrained I'll admit that these trucks seem a bit pokey for the power they contain. BUT!, they most certainly are trainable. Just drive it like you stole it for a few weeks and she will perk right up. Then you have the best of both worlds!

 

It's kinda like when I was running the 1/4 mi circuit in my Trans Am. Soooo many times some river would get a bit butt hurt when losing and say "Well yeah, but you have 8 cylinders and I only have 4 :( ". And I was like yeah...didn't you realize that when you bought it? Pop the good next time.

Find it has very good throttle response. In my Chevy, it was horrible. I find power comes on very smooth. Id like to test GM 6.2l but they make it unattainable. Just my 5.3l always shook, jolted and felt sluggish.

That's fine. But I like the new way better. Ram, not dodge ram. Fiat has been a blessing to Chrysler. Love the tech. Hopeful GM can get us act together.

They couldn't Dodge it, so they rammed it?? Is that where that came from?

It's a good marketing strategy to get away from the Dodge truck voodoo, juju, or whatever it's called. Give it another 7 - 10 years and people will be saying

"Dodge, what Dodge? What are you talking about? It's not a Dodge, never has been a Dodge! Dodge gave up building trucks along time ago! It's a Ram."

 

Edit: not only saying it but actually believing it.

Well said. It's like a fresh start for the company. Funny tho, sales have gone up since leaving Dodge out of the picture.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yes.   Yes.   We might be intermingling ideas with the term 'severity', in one of my past vehicles it could pull up DTC via the vehicles own user interface, at any given time when one would do this there would be an assortment of codes that were 'trivial' including 'communication' issues. This would generate a bunch of, potentially false alerts or some many that they would get ignored. Which you mentioned earlier.    You also mention several things that might be redundant with the vehicles own systems or indicators: The truck has an oil pressure gauge, monitoring it via this other system wouldn't be a priority except in comparison to other values or if there is an actual oil pressure problem.   Same thing for miss-fires or other problems, the MIL already signals the operator to an issue...   ...to the point about what one wants to see first, if there is a miss fire detected, I want to see miss fire counts or fuel trims first, if I have an oil pressure problem I want to see the oil pressure first. So, perhaps the 'systems' that are showing abnormalities are what gets displayed first.   I think your device is what connects at the OBD port, ease of use for the consumer, it could still have a 'pass-through' port for a second scanner, computer, etc.   Yes.   Based on my comment above, if an error appears, the report would be more specific to the system having an error.

      I like the idea.  I thought about putting a deposit a few years ago when they first dropped.  I still want to drive one and have inquired about doing this with them, like a ride and drive event they said they are coming but it hasnt happened even with them built in Indiana.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      That's a tough spot to be in, I personally would question spending 1/2 the book value on a repair vs. selling it as-is.    Presuming you own it out right, sell it for 10k and have a down payment for a replacement truck, or spend 10k on the one you already have...   I still think there is a cheaper transmission out there via recyclers, aftermarket or rebuild. (Cheaper than 5k for the unit)

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Sadly, there's a drought of good 92-95 4.3 cars at junkyards in the area otherwise I would have gone fishing for parts. Not that they don't come up, there's just nothing good in the yards right now.   I tore into the intake yesterday evening, easier than I thought, and I might have this problem licked for cheap. Two of the intake studs came up with the bolt on removal, no big deal but that's why it looks funny with studs only on one side.   There's pooled gas on both sides of the plenum. Highlights boxed in green. Picture-right side has an obviously split pressure line from rubbing on the #5 injector nylon line. #5's line is worn in that spot but not all the way through. Passenger side intake (picture left), not sure, but I think the pressure regulator is hosed. Rebuilt spiders don't come with the pressure and return hoses so I'll need to replace those no matter what. A pressure regulator is $30 so I'll try that and if I end up having to swap the whole spider, it was $30. I'll be grinning ear to ear if that's all I need.   Parts arrive Tuesday.   Sure enough the shop was here before. That's a new gasket. Vacuum lines and wiring are a tangled mess, I sorted that out last night as well. Spent about an hour just picking up general slack and shoddy reassembly around the engine bay. Cheek-pokered the battery tray, got it all cleaned up. Sometimes things just need a little elbow grease and a few minutes of time to be right again.
