Does anyone else have this going on? I wash the van real good at a car wash (although I need to do it by hand to get better results!) and the next day or two after its good and dry, spots appear all over the back doors only.
Not soap residue type spot tho. I don't know what the heck is up with this!!

Also, is anyone else's Ram Van a cold cold beast in the winter? Mine just nearly doesn't even want to shift when it's cold outside but will if I back off the accelerator. It's been worse this winter as opposed to the first winter I had it so am I being warned the tranny is going at 150k?

And last but not least, after changing the spark plugs, cap and rotor last Sept. ('11) at about 143k miles, I began hearing this odd clickity sound when she is climbing a slight incline with the cruise on. Eventually, it became whether cruise is on or not and there is a slight loss in power if I don't stay on the accelerator. Any idea's?

 

Sounds like something has bonded itself to the paint on the rear doors. I would try a light compound or a cleaner wax on the rear doors to get whatever it is removed from the paint.

Check the level of your transmission fluid. If you don't know when the last time it was changed, or you don't have any records from the previous owner regarding a fluid change it is probably time. Adjust the bands while you are in there.

It sounds to me like you have an exhaust leak. You may have lost a nut off the end of one of your exhaust manifold studs, possibly due to rust. Or it could be a bad exhaust manifold gasket or a bad connection between one of the manifold outlets and the collector pipe.
