Given that Ford trucks have jumped into reverse and killed quite a few people, that is the Fishy one sad that he can not attack RAM on this one without pulling Ford into the issue.
NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) refers to the "Park to Reverse" issue using various terms including "Unintended Powered Roll-Away" and has opened numerous investigations of these events over the last 35 years.
Lets get into this century, and stick to the topic. RAM recalls.FishOnOne wrote:
Well got to speak with my cousin today and talking about truck stuff I mentioned this recall and his response was don't get him started on the ram recalls. He showed me a picture of the 55 gallon drums full of suspension parts, and now they're waiting for water pumps. He mentioned ram cannot get parts supply out to the dealers before the next recall happens so customers trucks have to be worked on multiple times which kills the techs bottom line as these warranty repairs pay chump change and just backs up the shop repairs. At this point he's not sure what the recall repair will entail.
As for others sharing recall information I'm ok with it as long it's accurate information or not something that happened 30 years ago which only misleads people, but then again I'm sure people know this as well.
From the RAM recalls I have had, I can only imagine how many shop hours are spent on them.ShinerBock wrote:

Your colors were shown when you bring another brand into the picture as we new you would since this isn't your first time to call in the ford trucks from the early 80's.
Last I checked this recall is for brand new hd ram trucks, but I believe the new Ford G transmission had a similar issue recently.
Well then don't post your little jabs in if you don't want to start this circle jerk. Recalls are a touchy subject for any one which is why I either don't post anything in them if it is a different brand or I will post that I hope that it gets fixed before anyone gets hurt.
People like you who make passive aggressive post on purpose to stir the pot are the main reasons why these circle jerks get started. You post a purposely placed jab, vehicle owners get defensive and jab back, you get defensive and jab back, and the whole thing just goes round and round.
We know you don't like Rams or Cummins or just about any HD trucks that is a Ford or Powerstroke. We get that, but do you have to be a &#%$ all the time about it and get go out of your way to get your jabs in? It is the Holiday season for Pete's sake.
BTW, I would say the same to Cummins24 if done the same in a Ford recall thread so don't think it is just a brand thing. It is about being considerate to other people on a touchy subject.
A brand thing you say,I don't pay any attention to other brand recalls ,just mine. Ya, I slap my forehead every time I see another. Yes six recalls is getting tiresome. One yet to be resolved, so ya its touchy alright.
Get a clue ,Fish is not the problem ,FCA is. Truth always hurts.ShinerBock wrote:

You talking about this thread? How much does the F150 EB benefit from premium?
Nope didn't see any Ford bashing there.
How about this one? Boiling point: How much can your diesel auto trans handle?
Nope, not bashing there either.
This one? Threshold for Pain: How much can your diesel take?
Dang, none there either. I guess you are just going to have to show me.
Must be great to be so innocent.Bird Freak wrote:

I did go back and didn't see this Ford bashing you speak of. So please show me some links.ShinerBock wrote:

Im with a lot of others here. I saw no jab at ram. All I saw was ( Not another recall for these guys to whine over!) You need to lighten up a bit and stop thinking every one is always brand bashing like you do.
Please read my post above. And besides posting the inconsistinces in Tesla's CEO's promises, what brands am I "always" bashing that you speak of. Please give me specifics.- Since the 4500 and 5500 are included in this recall, the Aisin is included. It appears to be a problem with the column mounted shift lever safety that is shared between both automatics. I'm not seeing the recall show up on my 5500 when I search by VIN, but it does when I search model and year.
- So I'm guessing the Aisin is not included in the recall?

Which leads me to wonder how GM escaped a recall on their ABS module that powered trailer brakes. Mine died in July 2016. No recall, but also no parts in the entire nationwide inventory. Didn't get my call that the part was available until Jan. 2017.
