Have had my 2011 Big Horn for about six months now and have put about 3k on her. I have noticed a couple things that seem odd, maybe they're normal - this is my 1st Dodge.

1st, when in stop/go and I take my foot of the brake but no gas or very little, the truck surges a bit. My motorcycle will do this if the fuel map isn't right but surprised the Ram does it.

2nd. When stopped I notice a little vibration that comes and goes, don't think it was there six months ago. Motor mounts? Normal for a 5.7 beast?

Thanks,

Jim

 

i noticed the surging anomaly during my break in period. it went away at some point, i can't remember exactly when but i would give it another few months.
now we need to talk about how you only have 3K in 6mos!

 

LOL - my Laramie was delivered on 12/31 - and finally has 2200 miles...... 1400 of those, just driving it home from New Mexico......

I'm gonna have to wash it one of these days,,,,,,, it's getting dusty...... LOL

 

i guess you WoNDERR around on foot?

 

I rounded up a little, have nearly 2700 miles LOL. Glad I'm not the only one, live 6 miles from work and sometimes take my VTX1800C.

 

Does it surge a little every time or just sometimes? Could be you are using your air conditioner now in the warmer months. This could also be the vibration that comes and goes with the compressor turning on and off. This may also be the surge as the rpm's increase when it comes on.
Just something to check.

 

09 early build no surge or anything like that....17000 kms and the dealership thinks I need to have my battery serviced and and aligment when I had one in December....some other stuff on the list. Unbelievable.

 

2011 Sport CC 4x4 and mine continues to surge after 4,500 miles. Told the dealer and there response was "must be from bad gas.". All the gas in Denver and through to NM must be bad as I haven't been able to shake that surge.

 

I wander around in a lot of different ways - LOL. Yesterday, I walked 25 miles.

I rechecked mileage this morning, and I'm all the way UP to 2440 - LOL

I happen to have several vehicles. My RAM, bicycle, motorcycle, my old truck (I'm trying to drive it a minimum of once a week to keep it alive for my Grandson - in drivers training right now), and my wife's car.

Motorcycle and bicycle being my vehicles of choice, whenever possible.

I also try to avoid wasted trips, combining trips whenever possible, delaying whenever not of any immediacy, and using people power when I can.

Since I'm retired, I don't drive to work - all my driving is for my own "pleasure." (According to my insurance company.)

Yep, it really is the good life - and retirement is the best job I ever had......

It's just nice to have the RAM for whenever I want to drive it.....

p.s. I washed it this morning in the rain, and it's getting a soft water rinse as we speak - 4" so far, this morning, and still comin down - I washed the old truck tooooo. And, my wife's car (first.)

 

Ok yall need to drive these trucks , come to Texas we have a lot of roads...lol
09 fixin to turn 104,000.... no surge .
