My brother in law just got a new RAM you sure can here the V4 helicopter even with stock exhaust. The rest seems good so far, a little more wind noise and road noise but not much.

Did Ram fix the frame issue yet? My cousin has an eco diesel and loves it. The local pipeline company had the frame break on thiers (first year of the new style) and they rebuilt it on a new frame at the dealer. Ram has come a long way in recent years and seems like a good package for $'s invested. I would just fear the wife would turn down the radio on the freeway and place the trans in reverse, im sure they have a stupid switch though.

I've been trying to have GM help me with my 14 and they won't do anything! I'm at 44k miles in a year and half and little things are going down hill and I'm paying out of pocket to fix them. GM said they won't buy it back and I even asked for trade in assistance but they said they didn't know what that was. I have been treated like the "bad guy" every time I speak to them. I do like the GM trucks and vehicles but I wish they stood behind their cars and trucks. I've been treated better with customer from a 15k car over my 51k truck!

Mine may do it too snarkee only time will tell!

KARNUT, I have no helicopter at all in mine as of now, but the helicopter noise in my denali was deafening even with all that dynomat! I couldn't imagine how bad it would have sounded without all of that stuff to quiet it down.

jimcost2014 / Daryl Z71 thanks! it is called Delmonico Red, metallic pearl. It really pops in the sun!

I have a thing for black vehicles, but that color is sharp. I might take a ride to a Dodge dealer to look at it up close.

Dont get me wrong I like his truck,top of the line midnight edition. But can hear it in the background, May be a little sensitive to those things. Like the little bit of road noise and wind noise. I was really impressed on how guiet my 14 gmc was. I like different things about all of them. At the time I bought my GMC they were dealing the best at the time. I'm driving an SUV now, I always have an old truck around (a toy), wouldn't be a ford thou I hate the dealer, but that's another story. Good luck with yours.

oh I understand, and I wasn't butt hurt or anything I was just saying, mine is quiet now, will it get worse? who knows, but the road noise doesn't bother me because I never hear it due to stereo, AC, heater or windows down, and I have no doubt that other gmc's don't make the noise as bad as mine did, I was just saying the drone effect is much quieter in my ram than it was in my denali. Another reason why I don't own it anymore.

thanks and good luck with yours as well!

It may be a Dodge, but it is sure better than a Ford truck or Tundra. Congrats on the new Ram! It looks sweet!

Ya I like the Ram too congrats,like he said ^^^^^ least it's not a Ford or Tundra.I went out to buy the Ram but girlfriend had the final say and she like the Silverado,she bought it I drive it I couldn't pass the Silverado up on that deal.

I'm jealous of the Ram you have a nice one.When I test the Ram seem to have lot of power and rode nice.

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Correct.  2019-2020 are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.   The recall engines 2021-2024 are serviced with 12740076.     What the difference is between the two, I'm not sure, but 2019-2020 only show 19420611 as the replacement engine p/n.

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Melling I believe is/was the OEM on the lifters who explored this problem some years ago. The white paper they generated on the topic indicated two items of note when I read it. 1.) They only fail on the switch. Prevent the switch, prevent the failure. 2.) The majority fail due to deposits messing up the timing of that switch. Anyway that's what I got from it.    Mine have always been active, 195K+ now, and my oil maintenance is surgically clean.    Of course this assumes good parts. That is no heat treat issue or machining flaws. I get comfortable that these issues are in the rearview mirror by about 30K. IMHO naturally.
