'14 Ram 3500

I got the cel last week. Went to dealer and was told the code was t-05. Dealer said parts not available. Cleared code and sent me on my way. I called 800-chrylser and was told the same thing. A young lady informed me it was not a safety issue and I should be able to drive it. I tried towing out of town last night and the countdown to 5 miles an hour limp mode began. Turned around and headed home. Called Chrysler again this morning and asked for a "manager". Was told they'd get back to me in 24-48 hours. After pressuring the young lady a bit she finally said there may be a fix in July but its not definite... So I have a $54K truck with 34000 miles on it that is just sitting and I get to cancel all my summer trips. I ran from a 2010 F350 because of **** like this...Total BS!

****....ya'll can really twist stuff. I have cracked 3 rims in 15 years. I bought the truck with let's see.....4. I bought another set.....that makes 8. I have one extra left...and there's still 4 on the truck I think that would leave 3. And yes, I will own another Dodge when I find the one I want. Might be new...we'll see.

Ok this is getting weird. Especially the part about a truck that has cracked 7 rims and as weird as that sounds, is adimant about buying another dodge!
Wth causes 7 cracked rims?

15-18K below MSRP, which could mean around 5K, plus interest rates, doesn't sound like a great deal to me. You may need to do the math. I too went thru this, and in reality I was money ahead with a new one.

Or finally get to where you can write a check for a good used one. Did that 10 years ago on a three year old after trade in. Since then, $5000 in depreciation on a now 200k mile truck.

I worked the numbers, too. Repeatedly financing yet another isn't money ahead.

If the OPs truck is a lemon, yeah, get another. Nothing like having a Cummins under the hood. Dodge or Kenworth.

Repeatedly financing. You see the interest rates on a new truck loan 1.5- 1.95. you do the math. I will leave my 30-50K in an investment ,and use their money, again do the math .

My last truck was owned by me for nearly 16 years, that new truck didn't owe me anything.

Never said is was 15-18K off msrp. 15-18K off what a new one could be bought for. And yes I have no intention of financing one.

Cracks rims? New one to me. How does this happen?

Warped hub base?
