Ok so after i dropped it off for visit #3 cust care called me and said that a district rep would contact the dealer about the non All Terrain SRAs and if they will put real AT tires on my truck. Funny thing the loaner 6 banger 4x4 DC with the 18" tire upgrade has Bridgestone Duler HTs lol a tire I would not mind.....

My 2015 Ram 1500 came with 20" Bridgestone dulers and man does it drive nice , smooth as glass

Never liked Bridgestone/Firestone and was going to replace them with some Michelin After a while but they ride so good I'm keeping them plus there rated at 80000 miles .

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

Saw that but I got looking at their interior on the f250s and maybe it's just me but it's more rugged looking not luxury feeling compared to my High Country. I'm sure I would adjust it just doesn't look comfortable to me like the Rams or Silverados do IMHO

You should drive a Ram and see for yourself , I'm loving mine and out of the 7 trucks I've owned over the years this is my by far all around favorite . Man it drives nice and with the Hemi im getting 19 mpg in town and can't wait to go on a trip with it and see the freeway Mpg . Love the way the Hemi sounds and has nice power and torque . Got almost 1000 miles and not one rattle . My Vibarado starting rattling the first 100 miles now that perfection lol .

Love my Fiat?

my dealer said no because Gm said no.... I think GM may be out to get me lol, they won't even try to repair my truck, and Chevy customer assistance basically said that they couldn't do anything because the regional rep already said no

I'm looking at both 1500 and 2500 rams. I'd rather have a 2500. Found a used 2014 Longhorn edition 2500 diesel has 30k miles but it's 4.5 hours away. Dark brown exterior with the cattle tan seats, love how it looks.

 

We'll see what's fixed and what's not on my trip this weekend. I'll also be selling my lifted truck here in a couple weeks so that will give a nice down payment towards the truck as well

Sounds like you have a great plan , I also thought about a used one but after my last truck even though I bought new was concerned about buying another truck with issues and buying someone else's problems so went new plus all the great incentives/ discounts . For me the Ram 1500 with the Hemi was a perfect match because the only thing it will really tow is my bike and small trailer to and from the track but someday I'd like to get a small to medium size camper to tow . The 2500 is a sweet truck though and that Cummings diesel is one of the best if not the best??

All I can say is every time I drive my Ram I can't wipe the smile off my face and it's made me happy with my choice . What a great truck and as I mentioned I've owned many fords and Chevys but this has been my favorite from the get go and still is .

I assume the same will be done to me. Wonder if the service dept will just quietly pull these tires off the rental and put them on my z71 18s.

I am not afraid of a buyback trade sadly enough, we have about 8 guys at work with 2014 and 2015 sierras and silverados and only me and one other had vibes...... their are plenty of 4x4 CC Ocean Blues in the area to test. Ill even to to Ohio to get the right truck.

 

And i have stopped maybe 20 people at Home Depot or grocery stores and no one has any idea about the issue "glass smooth"

 

After this visit ill call the lemon law lawyer give GM the final attempt and be done

You sound like us, haha! We resorted to stopping people and asking them as well. We went through the exchange process and picked up our new 2015 GMC Sierra CC SLT on Sunday. We got out of a 2014 Silverado LT Rally 2 DC that shook like crazy. We drove 3 Silverados and 7 Sierras. This one was the smoothest by far. I can honestly say it rides "as smooth as glass". It has slight vibes but you can feel it's road related and you have to remember it's a truck. But my goodness what an improvement. It truly is a pleasure to ride in now, just keeping my fingers it stays this way! When you are looking for a new one be sure to accelerate hard and feel for a grinding vibration at around 4500 rpms. We've found on a lot of ones we tried. They rebuilt our diferential and it improved so we found that it was directly linked to a differential that might be out of spec in turn creating problems down the line. Our new truck does not have it on hard acceleration. Good luck!

Just throwing this out there, when in drive on deceleration... getting vibration, is this just engine braking through the drivetrain. If I pop it in Neutral, it goes away.

I'm glad you love your truck and there is also a Ram site for you to go brag about it on... Your welcome to stay and try and help others and offer advice but not troll... Thank you

ive had my 15 sierra for 2 weeks now, it did have a tire shake at 73mph. it did sit on the lot for 2 days short of a year so i kinda expected it. replaced all the tires under warranty. super smooth now.

Thanks for your welcome but it would be much appreciated if you don't start name calling which I will refrain from doing .

I'm also glad your enjoying your truck and this thread and your welcome to visit any Ram forum at your convenience and I'll be there for you with a warm welcome .

Also I have contributed to this thread in a positive manner so before you start name calling you should do your homework and educate yourself on the posts within this thread . Further more if it bothers you someone else is vibration free after a year of vibrations in a GM product then that's your problem and not mine . So I'll stay here as long as I like and if I want to recommend another manufacture That's been good for me I will .

I have an appointment to test drive a 2015 crew cab laramie 4x4 fully loaded with features that I wanted but were not available in my GMC. I'm paying way too much to be this unhappy every time I drive on the freeway which is about 40 miles a day. Just going to have to see how bad my loss will be on a trade in. sales tax here in cali is 8.125% paid it once on the GMC not looking forward to paying it again on a RAM but we shall see what the dealer will do.

It really is shame we have to take such a hard hit on depreciation because getting out of truck much earlier then planned . You can thank GM for that and what's even worse is there such great trucks without the vibrations but that definitely turns it into a nightmare at least it did for me and made me sick . But now looking back it was a blessing in disguise or I would of never bought my Ram . What a great truck I think you'll really like your test drive in the Ram and hope they can work you out a deal that fits your needs because I know if they can you'll get a truck you really love and enjoy driving like you should of with your GM .

@abominable Not sure how it is in your state but your sales tax should be on the new truck value minus trade in value, so it shouldn't be too bad.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      So, do I go elbow-deep on this thing or list it for sale and play dumb? Seems to "runs good."   I'm about $1200 away from having: -a rebuilt injector ($300) -a new cat ($250) -a new cat back exhaust (OE style) ($300) -a new AC compressor ($200) -AC refrigerant charge ($150)   In theory, this should rectify the obvious detracting issues from its value and operability. Cold AC with a non-squeaking AC pulley both sounds and feels good. An exhaust that isn't cut/hacked in 17 different places and doesn't vibrate on a crossmember would make it sound and feel less janky. A working cat would help the stink, and will save the earth, but *if and only if* the fuel system is working properly, which would also address the intermittent "rich" CEL.   Heard a good one... CEL for "Rich condition" means you haven't spent enough money on the truck lately, and it's letting you know.   Rebuilding the injector would seem to be the most important part. Replacing the cat would be secondary. I don't think mine is plugged or overly restricted, but it might be a little restricted? I have no good way to tell other than seat of the pants feel. I hate the smell.   The current theory is I have a rich idle problem: A bad fuel pressure regulator, or a leaking injector(s) being the highest probabilities. I already replaced the FPR but that doesn't mean its replacement isn't also bad. It was a new part from Dorman, but the packaging looked like it had been sitting on a shelf for 20 years.   This is the (single) upstream O2 sensor shown at idle. I'm getting a lot of "rich" it seems. Sometimes it stays high like that and doesn't drop down. That makes me think it's processing injector leaks or a partially stuck open injector.     Other times it looks like this. Nice oscillations between rich and lean, which is what I think it should be. Under load and at speed, the oscillations are nice and tight and uniform looking, high and low.     Fuel trims suggest the PCM is compensating pretty hard at idle to pull fuel out. But it's not enough to trip a CEL. Something about slowing to a stop: brake vaccum booster, EGR, or the EVAP purge is delayed, or there's pooled fuel in the intake again that's draining into a cylinder is enough to set the CEL. Of course, in two days of driving, it hasn't set. I was hoping to actually look at the freeze-frame data when it sets. IAT is high because it's idling on an 83 degree day here.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
