No complaints so far. I really like it. I only hope my doors don't rust like my 1998 ram did.

Already had it done...didn't fix the issue. A magical PCM flash isn't going to cure this vibration. It's most likely due to the engine and would take either revised motor mounts, body mounts or both to get rid of it.

I need to get into the dealer and get all of these things taken care of. The PCM flash, temp sensor, etc.

Have you been in other new Rams that do not do it...so that its an issue with your truck, or is this something that youve noticed in all new rams?

Mine doesn't have a harmonic vibration. Don't know what vibration you folks are talking about, but it doesn't seem to affect all trucks. I did notice that my truck has several large vibration dampers mounted underneath the truck on the sides of the frame. I wonder if those are used on all trucks?

Mine does not vibrate either. It does shake at idle slightly, but once you are moving, it stops.

i love mine! i am still getting used to the crewcab's length(i came from a reg cab 99) i had my check engine light come on yesterday but i got it taken care of. the rapid response for the temp sensor fixed it. the light came on because the remote start was aborted due to a system fault. the fault was that the truck thought it was 115 degrees outside so it thought the engine was already warmed up.

i do agree that the 1-2 shift sucks but for stoplight dragging i just use the autostick and start in 2nd.
