What's the most annoying thing about your truck?
 
I'd like to know what really bothers people. Don't say gas mileage, cuz it's a truck and you just gotta deal with that. but what annoys you, something that shouldn't be happeneing?

For me, by far, it's torque management. When I put my foot down behind a hemi, i want it to go...NOW, not 2 seconds from now. It sucks that the trans is weak enough (when mated to a hemi) that it needs a band-aid to keep it from blowing up, maybe the diff too.

what else you got?

Power steering return hose on the earlier 3rd gens (like mine). What a crap job they did with that thing. A descent clamp would have saved a lot of people from a lot of headaches.

I wanted to say tranny but you already got that covered :)

ive had too many issues with the front end then i would like. the stock tires are my biggest complaint about the 1500s, cant wait to trash em. it also annoys me how the little circler center caps on the wheels also keep falling out. but hey, id rather drive my dodge then a chevy or toyota!

yeah guess i'd have to go with worrying about the stock lsd, be so nice if they just sucked it up and put a detroit in it . I bet anyone who knows anything about trucks wouldnt mind paying the extra 500$ or something to have that rather then a stock one. On my truck though the biggest thing that annoying me is my acc for the ignition is worn out i think, I really like listening to music from my truck when camping but the ignition just wont stay locked into the acc part.

i would have to say I hate the fact that i have to spend alot of extra money to put in an aftermarket stereo after buying the radio and harness with the newer 07-08 rams.. im already spending a crap ton $$$ on a decent stereo and the harness.. why do i have to pay another $70 to $100 on a bypass.. gotta spend way more i guess for the best on newer vehicles..

I wish I had real wheels. Not the chrome plastic covers. My mom's '08 grand caravan has wheels why can't I. And the tires are scary in rain, but that can be fixed. The most annoying thing right now is my seat. The foam is beginning to crush on the left side.

the A pillar....seems like it's always in the way cause it's bulkier then my 2nd gen ram was....otherwise, nothin

engine knock, erratic idle, pwr steering leak and noise, excessive oil consumption 1 litre/tank of gas, excessive fuel consumption about 9mpg, bad tires from factory goodyear wrangler hp 20" will not stay together till the end of the tread life (belts inside tire break and slip causing vibration and shimmy) ,weak front end parts (ball joints and cv joints (expect replacement around 80000km), exaggerated horsepower ratings i think they claim 345hp and at best on the dyno maybe 275rwhp with mods, failling electronic door locks and window motors, i suspect bad cat convertors same as with previous gen ones, noisy shifts in tranny under full acceleration and i am sure i can keep going just give me more time with my truck ha ha ha . i guess that is the result of building cars and using the lowest bidders for vendor supplied build parts !!!
