    2026 Vs 2018 Early Observations

    3 Month Update! 6K and 3 Months. As suspected reliability is far superior to the 2018. By now the recalls on the 2018 were completely out of control, flat tires( did they really improve Duratracs?) and I had several annoyances. For now I have had; 1. 1 Initial hard reset of uconnect due to...

    Should Dodge And Ram Ever Reunite? I Asked Tim Kuniskis Directly

    I vote separate. Dodge is so heavily connected to extreme unreliability to this very day...and muscle cars. Ram is Good Looking, Tough Trucks and the first Chrysler brand to begin to get a handle on reliability in history. Don't mess up what is working.

    How wrecked are your local dealers service departments?

    Might be a convergence of issues; 1. Lack of Work Force Participation 2. Unicorn hunters working as service writers that really dont want to work or answer phones 3. Complexity of modern cars and increasing demand for good mechanics that can perform diag 4. These flat rates are even less...

    How wrecked are your local dealers service departments?

    So, what you are saying is the new norm of no customer service, and no phones being answered, no messages returned is reasonable. Ok, worse then I thought.

    How wrecked are your local dealers service departments?

    There was no one answering, voice mail was full the entire time. And hand delivered messages were not returned. Only time I received smoke signals was over a week later via text and he could not find my truck. And it was about every other day for 5 MINUTE diagnoses. Look, I get it phones are...

    How wrecked are your local dealers service departments?

    Ford Dealer denied to warranty a broken door lock recently because of scratches on the Bezel . Went in for some crappy trim clips as an employee drove a van into a post. They want 6.96 EACH. Yes, each. We needed 40. 6.00 on Amazon. I get it, you have to mark stuff up. But all the games chase...

    How wrecked are your local dealers service departments?

    I received a text today. More then a week after going in, from the service writer. He says, I have a note to call you from last week, but I cant find your truck! Did you pick it up? :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: I ran down the fact phones were not being answered, voice mail always full, 2...

    How wrecked are your local dealers service departments?

    Not returning calls and leaving voice mail full is not acceptable at all. Sitting on a truck with a minor issue for a week after scheduling an appointment, nope. Ignoring hand delivered notes to call a customer, nope. Not buying it at ALL. But yes, COVID and work force crisis made poor customer...

    How wrecked are your local dealers service departments?

    I went over yesterday to get my truck back, and will zip tie the connector out of the way later. I let them have it. Not one phone call answered for a week, voice mail full for a week, and 2 messages from the store hand delivered not responded to. I wrote a wonderful 1 star review. I will NEVER...

    How wrecked are your local dealers service departments?

    Only 2 dealers here. Called others in the state and they are in just as bad a shape, called one 3.5hrs away and they said they could try, but reviews show otherwise. I do have a few good independent shops, short handed but they take care of it. Just when it comes to warranty work. I obviously...

    2019 Power Wagon suspension has become “floaty”

    I literally bought the Fox shocks, rear ones were toast at 6 months....No thanks. Bilstein works

    How wrecked are your local dealers service departments?

    Been researching, looks like the closest dealer with good reviews is in Colorado Springs, about a 5.5hr drive. Our Ineos dealer is there as well. Maybe that is what I will do for any warranty work I think i have a shot at. Unfortunately the popular dealers where we buy our trucks are too far away.

    2026 Vs 2018 Early Observations

    Lordy, very close numbers. So the Diesel one they actually built better...interesting. I find it interesting the ZF went to the gassers first as well, the warranty work must have been crushing them.

    How wrecked are your local dealers service departments?

    Geesh, my local dealers are pissed when you show up for service. Thousands of vehicles lined up and no hope. I am exploring flying out of state for service in the future, its ugly. I know Farley with Ford is screaming about the tech shortage.

    2026 Vs 2018 Early Observations

    LOL that POS is one of the worst transmissions in all of history! It is the feature of memes about Rams everywhere. The parts are so junky inside you cannot even get one rebuilt with out upgrades. Mine went into limp modes by 60K( and no they would not look at it under warranty). Then there is...

    2026 Vs 2018 Early Observations

    AND, heavy but not strong, not attached to the frame, don't cover the entire side of the vehicle. Glad I took them off, found a major wiring harness melting by the exhaust! Took it in today,

    Stellantis Post It’s Sales Numbers For The U.S. In Q4 2025

    Looks bad, but have to remember the free fall they were in. Finally Tundra numbers are plummeting, but astonishingly GM sales are way up despite the absolute junk they produce. What this really shows is the damage the Dodge/ Ram brand created through decades of poor reliability and especially...
