    I have this issue also, (2017 2500) and video of it going off every 5 seconds (the alert) which seem to have become much worse / more frequent after the dealer did some software upgrade. Its like riding an elevator for as long as your trip. Currently tempted to find the alert speaker in the...

    2018 2500 Factory Clutch Fail

    All, I have seen a few clutch / transmission discussions, but wanted to post this one as I am the lucky owner of a 2018 2500 I purchased new one year ago, that has had a clutch fail at under 3k miles. – That is not a typo. I have barely been driving it, partly because I have been too busy and...
