go lemon law on there *** and fyi dont buy a 2nd gen ram!!! this forum for the second gens is full of problems ie trans!!! good luck with what ever road you take keep us updated.

 

Only problem with that statement is that there are maybe hundreds, of peeps on here with probs compared to the millions that are on the road with original tranny's IE. (mine is one of them). And so are the tranny's in numerous peoples trucks I talk to everytime I'm at the pump,at a parts store or in any parking lot for that matter. How it's maintained and abused are the major factors. And as far as I can tell from this forum and others, is the fact that I believe the 2001's are the worse and most prone to all these probs.

 

if you start looking around on http://www.craigslist.org/about/sites you may find some parts you need cheap .... i looked on the columbus parts and there was sum motors and trans for sale.... good luck with the truck

 

And same here i have talked to a few people most have had them rebulit or a new one dropped in. when i took my truck in at 38,000 i wanted to get my trans flushed i did and when trans fluid was **** BROWN!!!!! it was also slipping. and it should be done at 40,000. i put amsoil in it and its doing much better than before. no slipping and i checked it the other day and it was blood red not **** brown.

 

Well, The Atty General Called me today, and is willing to try to mediate on my behalf. To see what kind of resolution we can get. Either fix it, money back, or comparable truck.

Here are pics.. Really makes me mad, because I like the truck dang it..

 

dam that truck is flawless i was my truck looked like that.

 

well, not quite flawless, there are small dents on both sides on the rear of the bed, behind the bumper, easy to fix, and some bubbles starting on the passenger fender wheel well.. Again, easy fix.. But the thing is so solid, I want to keep it.. I just can't afford the $$$ to get motor and tranny... So, we shall see what happens..

I would shell out the 100 bucks or so and talk to a lawyer about your rights, the lemonlaws are awesome...unless you live in Louisiana.

 

there alot of rams out there alot, get your money back together and get another one and you will have money on a truck that works

 

Hey check your states implied warranty law. Just google it and see if your state has it. WV does and it states that any business which sells an item is responsible for ensuring that item does what it is intended to do for a reasonable time. 1/2 a day is not reasonable!! By the carlot placing the vehicle on their lot for sale they are stating that the vehicle is road worthy and if not they are responsible for either returning your money or fixing the vechicle to make it road worthy. If Ohio has it print it off from the internet and go to the carlot and show them. Even if they told you they were selling it as is it does not matter, hell even if you signed a paper saying that it does not matter, that is if Ohio has an implied warranty law. Not many people know about it and let the lots trick them into the 30 day 50% warranty.
