I'm shooting for lemon or buyback. Hopefully this happens, don't want to take a hit on trade. Looking into Ram. I've never owned a Ram before, not even a Chrysler product. Will see.

Well folks, I did it. After all the failed attempts at the Chevy dealer I traded it in for a 2015 Ram 1500 Larame. I have to agree with the other folks on here that have done the same thing, it was th

Apparently you and the other customer reps don't care. If you or GM would care y'all would put more effort in the matter. Just coming on the forum and stating the same repetitive posts and being a 3

Well I have some good news and bad news about my truck vibrations. Good news is that my truck has a significantly less vibration at speed. The bad news is my truck has significantly less vibration. Fo

I say none of those exist on any I have owned - my last ram had 44s and ran true and the front end lasted for 62K with 44s. Never ran into an electrical issue NEVER and do not know any on DTW that ever cited that as ever an issue or vibration.

Maybe in Canada there may be some issue but I have not saw or heard about those in the states and I was a member of the largest mopar forum for years and still frequent it so this post has me somewhat confused. Only reason I came over to GM was I lost my local Dodge dealership and would have to travel 110 miles to complete anything that would occur, sort of thinking it may be worth the trip now.

2 months, thats nuts. I drove the 3.0 ecodiesel, very impressed. It was the ST edition aka work truck. But I was mainly interested in the engine and trans during the test drive.

There were issues with the factory 20s, electrical issues and grimlins inside the cabin were aplenty http://www.carcomplaints.com/Ram/1500/2013/ to see some common ones. Dodge has the same issue as GM when it comes to vibration, it was known to us at the dealership.

 

Im surprised you haven't heard of these, when you type ram vibration into google the 2 biggest ram forums pop up and you can see various topics on this.

 

PS: We don't have a different Ram in Canada, its the same truck.

Those appear to be for older trucks. When I google 2014 ram vibration, I don't find anything.

Do you have an attorney working on it? A good attorney won't charge you. They sue GM for their fees. GM will screw with you as long as they can but when an attorney contacts them, they know you're serious.

Think that's the next step for me

That might be because there isnt a big enough sample of them yet.

Wow never knew this I have owned several and the last three had 20s? Maybe it was beginning with the 13 model year I do not know last one I owned was a 2011 and it was by far the best one I ever had

I would say the sampling is as just as large as the Silverado considering it has been outselling it for about half of the year

I owned a 2007 Ram with 20" rims...and that experience turned me away from Dodge forever. It rode terribly and was told the 20" rims just did that. I lost count of how many parts in the front end, steering, and suspension I had to replace. One day after work I started it, put it in drive and it wouldn't move... trans went. All this at around 50 thousand miles. It was gone a week later. I'd rather have a vibrating Chevy than a Dodge any day...they're all abotu cheap parts. Next purchase will likely be a Ford but I'll see what GM is like too at that point. Never buying a first year model again thats for sure...of any brand.

Well, there you go, it must be fixed.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
