sport hood and quality control
Is anyone else disappointed on the fit of the the hood? The more and more I look at this truck the more I find issues with **** poor quality control. Maybe I'm just venting, but it pisses me off. The hood does not fit well in the front and rear passenger side. Yes, worthless without pictures. Fit and finish has been discussed on the new rams, but there are just so many small issues that seem to add up. For instance...dodge is going to repaint my front bumper, paint on the entire truck is thin, there are MULTIPLE issues with crap under the paint, the grill is color matched....kinda. Front and rear door do not have clean lines, front door is taller....by design? Doubt it. How about the gaps around the factory headlights? I guess I;m asking a bit much from an American truck, but the two 4 fords and nissan trucks I've own have never had issues like this directly off the showroom floor. This is Lie's last Ram until they get their sh*t together. Still Love the truck, just expect a polished product with the coin I dropped on this product. rAMT COMPLETE.

My 2010 QC 4x4 Hemi Sport has a VERY pizz poor paint job. Very thin in spots everywhere, and not to mention, ther is so much dirt UNDER the paint that i`m ashamed to even have bought the dam truck for what i paid for it. The next truck i buy wont be a dodge. The quality is just pizz poor everywhere with this truck. I paid $45,000 for a fully loaded piece of ****. The dodge dealerships are even worse than the products that they sell. Totally worthless..!

I can tell you a story about a brother inlaw of mine who used to drive a $60,000 Harley Davidson Diesel Ford. 3 engines, 2 fires, rust, broken rear springs, all kinds of other issues, when they had a big change over, just like RAM went thru and also with the bankruptcy and parts shortages, a lot of the issues were linked to that. My 09 has had it's share but they have all been taken care of without issue, including replacing rims and running boards. Other than that this trucks fit and finish is pretty good, I used to inspect paint off the line at Chrysler and well there are a few things I would have put it back on the line for but not enough to do it under warranty. I prefer the factory baked paint.

As for hood fitment there are literally like four bolts that hold the hood on. Loosen them up and adjust the positioning of the hood until you get it where you like it.
