What's up with RAM??

[Cranky]

Under warranty we were provided a free loaner. Hopefully OP has the same.

Ever have to battle Chryco? I have. It's much easier said than done. Even though I was refunded 100% and apologized to, it took a year to get there. I'm still not sure it was worth the frustration.

What auto maker is easy to deal with??

At least the lights still work.

That thing almost looks tidy and not lived in compared to one I had in the shop a month ago.
Wish I'd taken a pic!!

Yes, my point exactly, and response to the suggestion that the OP get it fixed elsewhere and bill back to Chryco. Not gonna happen.

What year is your truck? Don't remember....all of mine are a lot older but none have nowhere near that kind of miles.

The truck is a 2007. I'm actually at 412,000 now. Original engine and transmission too!

I went over 350k (360k something IIRC) in both my old 95' PowerRam 2500

(I did shorten the frame 18"s on the 95 & box it between the rises on both ends/middle,
would have voided the 10 year/100k mile warranty, I put that 100k in just over a year & 1/2
& to piss them off even more, I put a short bed on it/same color from a wrecker,
back then (till 2001) you couldn't get the good Dana-60s 9.750" front & rear on a 1500,
they also had 9.25" rear, not the best but they seemed to last pretty well
they had independent suspension front, it's not bad but not a Dana-60
so I made it my own, it/they both was/were my work truck/s, & tow rigs too
that thing the 95 'Short Bed' conversion was a great 4 wheeler too, low idle crawler,
Q78 15s 35" Dick Cepek tires, lifted for clearance, torque out the wazzo)

& after that I ordered new (April ? killer deal) 98' HD PowerRam 3500 4x4
(had more like 390k on it) mainly for towing,
my Featherlite 43' dual car 3 axle race trailer/11,000#s+ with spares, fuel & 2 cars
& I still drove the 95' for work, it was a great rig, driven locally until like 2005,
a bit over 10 years, very lil' issues ever, both 95' & 98' w/12 valve 5.9ltr Turbo Cummins,
both hopped up a tad, no' rolling coal' I hated that ****...
I had the 98' till 2007 after I sold my duplexes in Rancho Murieta,
almost 9 year 11 months years to the day, like a month shy of 10
I had that, my 99' Dakota (a few other trucks, a 99' R/T would run 11's & 2000' Dakota R/T)
during that timeframe too, too many
& I ordered a new 2002 F350 4x4 Lariat ext. cab 7.3ltr PS diesel dually 6 speed, Nov 2001
that replaced the 3500 with mega miles, for the tow rig, started tapering off my travels
something about that timeframe, I didn't like the New Ram's, in 2002,
I think it was no Dana-60 fronts (?) I honestly can't remember the specifics of why...

I had a like new 97' Kodiak 2nd gen. intermediate 7.2 Cat 312 B/E I6,
I turned the pump & a bigger turbo, added nice Alcoa wider wheels & tires, rode better
with a custom 6' sleeper lounge & flatbed, I got it for a steel,
from another racer who got in money trouble, so I bailed him out
"man I had way too many trucks"
Dang it was a great tow rig, like nothing behind you on the road...
so the other rigs mostly sat/when I traveled after I got that, I sold it in 2007,
w/200k or so on it, I downsized bigtime...

But my dad drove the Ford F350 mostly after he moved in with me in 2005,
he put on 159K miles...
He took the RV out on the road with it, like a week or 2 weeks a month, most every month
(he's an old school buss driver, for 20 years, & he liked the noise & how it sat, had decent power
after I put a the Flowmaster system & chip, it was a dog really prior, but got like 14mpg towing
he was responsible for all the maintenance costs too, & there was many)
&
my 99 Dakota SLT Magnum v8
I also bought new, at Sonora Motherlode Motors Dodge
that I still have that one today, w/62k miles
it's still my favorite truck to date...

My neighbor works for GM. He told me there are thousands of brand new GM trucks they can't sell because they can't provide some stupid relay or part for the lane changing warning something or other. I didn't pay much attention cuz I would probably try to defeat the system anyway if it were on my truck.
Probably gonna get worse anyway. I'll stick with my 20 to 65 year old stuff than don't have or need any of those bells & whistles.

A couple years back now it took 7 months, right after Wuhan Flu BS
to get a PentaStar 3.6 v6 new engine at out local CDJR dealer
(now closed, for the 3rd time in 20 years)
my dad put diesel in my new Gladiator Rubicon Launch Edition Jeep
drove it until it locked up, should've pulled over & called AAA
but no he wasn't gonna' wait, thought he could make it to the next town
after he realized what he did
(he was used to driving my 02 F350 7.3ltr PS Diesel dually, the green handled filler, still stupid move)
Yep he hydro locked the engine, when it only had 12,000 miles on it
in my over $51k Jeep
$14,000 later,
like $6,700 alone was for the NEW engine, injectors, fuel system to pan
(my Ins. covered it or he was going to pay for it, not me)
& waited forever from the from Chrysler, at the Ohio Jeep Engine plant,
to even ship the motor, the rest was
$200 an hr labor costs, another $1,000 & misc. fuel system parts
nucken' futs

My buddy put def in his diesel Ford. $17k. Insurance covered it.

Not just Ram had a buddy get a baby deisel Chevy truck. Within a month the coolant control valve went out. Part back ordered all summer. Truck was to tow his boat to the lake. Warranty part.
