I have the report on this truck. Steering rewire...track bar brackets added. Reprogram the radio, tpms, driver restraint system. I agree, there is probably more to the story than I have today.

RAM bought back a lot of trucks in the last years. Most had small fixable issues, but the owners used this opportunity to upgrade to a newer truck.

This 2014 might have been bought back while they were waiting for a fix for this.

Well thats a new one, where did you come up with a buyback for the track bar issues on the 2014's. Read a lot about the track bar recall from start to finish, and don't remember any talk of a buyback. If that would have been the case I would have been the first in line.

Cummins,
You're correct...There wasn't a government forced buy back for the 2014 due to this serious safety issue.

I was surprised hearing that from the Ram Mafia, but it shouldn't surprise me what I hear from that group.

The crazy thing is all the down playing, and I haven't had any issues group. It's usually played that way , no different then guys getting on here and jumping up ,and down about how great the 6.0 powerstroke was, well overall it was not a great engine.

This emission thing is real problem. The mafia can down play it all they want on these Ram issues, but it has at least if not more problems then the other two.

I keep hearing how great ,and the longevity of the Cummins engine is. Who cares if the motor will go X amount of miles, when the rest of the truck will leave you beside the road.

All the high mileage 6.7 cummins I've seen have all the emissions equipment deleted and run manual transmissions. And now finally there's a lawsuit from the ram owners (of course not members of the ram mafia) on the emissions of these trucks. I know I'm a bit leary about the emissions on my Ford 6.7 but at 106k miles so far so good.
