Ram tends to be a laggard in some areas.
Transmissions being one. When they were the last to do an upgrade before, and will be last this time as well.
In some cases such as fuel pumps, being last has it's advantages. They were last to the CP4 party and used it for the shortest time before dumping it. My only question why they used it at all. My theory is that Bosch assured them that the problems were in the past, and offered them a great deal....And when Ram discovered that the problems were still occuring they dumped it pronto. Just a theory but it makes sense to me. GM after years of covering CP4 failures finally dumped it. Ford after a so so at best record of covering them is still using it. :R
When I was last shopping for my current truck, Ram was crossed off the list only because it was then using the CP4. There is plenty to like about Ram. I was just tired of playing CP4 roulette.... Any time you start it up could be the time it lets go.
And last, I am sure that when Ram finally makes a tranny upgrade, that EVERYONE will think it was a great move.
