My Ram is a POS!

but what was the point in your post?
I don't need to see your paperwork I believe you had the issues you stated..
I just don't understand what you were expecting. You come onto a forum with a bunch of dodge enthusiasts and instead of a thread saying "lots of issues with my ram what should i do"
bottom line is man if you want to hate on a vehicle that has had a bunch of problems you might wanna start looking into building your own..
otherwise stop crying about stuff that everyone else on the planet understands is part of life..

Not trying to be mean, but overall it sounds like you need to learn to do your own work on your own truck. You can do your own spark plugs and SHOULD do them. Changing a water pump doesnt cost 400+ but it will if you LET the dealer rape you for it. You can get nan air bag for WAY less that 1200 but again, if all you believe is the dealer then shame on you.
You need to open your eyes and trust yourself and not the dealer. They will ALWAYS lead you in the direction of opening your wallet to them.

And I would never assume everybody is mechanically inclined, or could "teach themselves" to replace a heater core in a Dodge truck. I know that most of us here are at least, minimally mechanically capable, but I can guarantee my wife would NEVER consider/attempt to change the plugs in my truck, or replace the heater core.
Regards.

If you liked your chevy so much then go buy another one and stop b******g about your ram

I understand bro and I can feel where you are coming from. I had a car once that almost made me burn it to the ground because every time i turned around something was going wrong. Some rides are just like that unfortunately. I know you know better to think one manufacture like Chevy is better than Dodge because we all know Chevy has the same issues. Some individual trucks are good and some are a headache.

You know Gas but it might be worth looking into an aftermarket warranty for a year or two, if the truck is going to lump all it's mechanical problems this close together it might pay. Also the best way I've seen to keep a vehicle from breaking is to keep it under warranty.

Just got curious, thought I'd post up my 2 minutes of Google results:

You can see the Chevy appears to have some issues for quite a few years running.
I'm sorry you're having the issues you are having. I don't think I've ever heard of anyone having all the issues you're having. The one that gets me the most is the airbag sensor. If it went off just after you bought it, my bet is it went on in the past and it was jimmied to make it stop. I know you believe the prior owner had no knowledge of these things, but the airbag system light is very unusual.

Like said earlier on an earlier post, the members on here will attack you on every front, and make you look like the villain, when the only thing your trying to do is, establish a dialogue about issues you're having with your truck and the things that Dodge / Chrysler can do in the future to correct it.
Instead of Hammer using his authority to ban me from the forum, (which he did using the excuse "that i was a new guy with a bad attitude)
he could have used it instead to ban Ben D. with his tyrannical rant on page 8. in which he attacks you for posting your issues.
So again, like I mentioned earlier you won't get anywhere on here, because just about everyone on here has drank the Kool Aid....
So do yourself a favor, and trade or sell the truck, but at least tell the next person about the issues first, that's only fair. Then purchase another Make, i.e., Ford;Toyota or one of the others and let us know how it works...I won't be far behind......
Regards Robert, and thanks for the comments.

Not that I have to justify it, but 8 posts since Dec. '10, each one bashing the product. Nothing constructive, no other purpose for the posts. I was just not into delaying the inevitable...

Lets keep the thread nice and civil guys. We dont want to see it get closed for getting out of hand. We have ALL had rides that have seemed to have been more trouble than they were worth. And if one of you just happens to say otherwise, well then just keep waiting, its coming. LOL
I hate to see anyone leave a good truck but thats not to say the truck they have right now is the one for them. Until someone starting PAYING me to drive their ride, I swear NO allegiance to any of them.
