Do you have a 2010 or newer Dodge Ram pickup and you have wondered about recalls, technical service bulletins (TSB) or rapid response transmittals (RRT) for your truck? Perhaps you have questions about a specific recall or RRT that was issued for your Ram and you want to ask the forum rather than talking to a service department hack who is trying to sell you something? We have a thread for you in our 4th generation Ram pickup section.
While there are a variety of sources for recall, TSB and RRT information for your Ram including the dealership, the Chrysler Group customer service phone number or the US government official recall website – much of that information can be had right here on DodgeForum without the headache of sorting through a government website, sitting on hold as you wait for the next available representative or facing a dealership service writer who is going to try to sell you a tire rotation in the process of answering your questions. Our 4th gen Ram recalls and RRTs thread not only lists information on these various concerns but it also allows members a chance to ask fellow owners about their experiences with these issues. Whether you are hoping to ask a question or you simply want to read through other 2010 and newer Ram owner questions, this is a good thread to keep bookmarked for future reference.
"Before I was old enough to walk, my dad was taking me to various types of racing events, from local drag racing to the Daytona 500," says Patrick Rall, a lifetime automotive expert, diehard Dodge fan, and respected auto journalist for over 10 years. "He owned a repair shop and had a variety of performance cars when I was young, but by the time I was 16, he was ready to build me my first drag car – a 1983 Dodge Mirada that ran low 12s. I spent 10 years traveling around the country, racing with my dad by my side. While we live in different areas of the country, my dad still drag races at 80 years old in the car that he built when I was 16 while I race other vehicles, including my 2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and my 1972 Dodge Demon 340.
"Although I went to college for accounting, my time in my dad’s shop growing up allowed me the knowledge to spend time working as a mechanic before getting my accounting degree, at which point I worked in the office of a dealership group. While I was working in the accounting world, I continued racing and taking pictures of cars at the track. Over time, I began showing off those pictures online and that led to my writing.
"Ten years ago, I left the accounting world to become a full-time automotive writer and I am living proof that if you love what you do, you will never “work” a day in your life," adds Rall, who has clocked in time as an auto mechanic, longtime drag racer and now automotive journalist who contributes to nearly a dozen popular auto websites dedicated to fellow enthusiasts.
"I love covering the automotive industry and everything involved with the job. I was fortunate to turn my love of the automotive world into a hobby that led to an exciting career, with my past of working as a mechanic and as an accountant in the automotive world provides me with a unique perspective of the industry.
"My experience drag racing for more than 20 years coupled with a newfound interest in road racing over the past decade allows me to push performance cars to their limit, while my role as a horse stable manager gives me vast experience towing and hauling with all of the newest trucks on the market today.
