Thanks for the warning on Boardwalk Redwood City. Thats my local dealer...Burlingame isn’t much better. Took my truck to Burlingame for a “slipping/clunk” when I first accelerate from a stop light or stop sign and they couldn’t find a thing wrong after having the truck for 3 weeks. Is the body...

Gsbrockman, Thanks for the quick reply. I will asked the dealer about that. Is that something that needs greasing or replacement? Truck only has 20,000 miles.

Hello TDR folks. Just getting ready to take my truck to dealer just before my factory warranty is up. My problem is when I first take off from a dead stop I feel a “slipping" or "loose feeling" somewhere in the driveline. I feels like the the transmission, driveshaft, or rear end has a little...

Had this happen to my truck as well. I was told that on occasion when the truck has ran for a few thousand miles when new the truck could “burp” a little air out of the system. I was on a trip in Oregon and was in a small town when my light came one, couldn’t get the factory coolant. Called the...

RamDriver...I have learned that the EB works much better if I keep the transmission above 1,000 RPM’s (i.e. shifting down the +/- on shifter) and be in tow/haul. For me, if the transmission hits 1,000 RPM’s the EB goes off and if the tow/haul is activated it seems to come on better. Mine still...

GCecchetto, Have you tried the Redwood City dealer...I’ve had my 13 in there for a few things and had good luck. Most recently they replace the steering shafts and the entire steering column for a clunking I had somewhere in the steering. I also had good luck with the Burlingame dealership...

EDankievitch, Wanted to give you an update on the steering issue I talked about back in October. After a lot of going back a forth and 4 times to the dealer, the dealership finally replaced the two shafts from the base of the steering column to the steering box, and also replace the entire...

Mine shifts the same as yours. I have to say when I first got my truck it seemed like it was always lugging (and still does). After a couple years now I don’t seem to pay attention anymore. I just know that when I need the power I just step on the throttle and it finds the gear it needs. This...

Edankievitch, Your right...Mine only does it on the right side. Truck has been at dealer now for 5 days. I hope they replace the section of the steering shaft that’s under the rubber boot. I’ll keep you posted.

EDankievitch, I believe it’s the intermediate shaft. I took my truck back to the dealer yesterday and found out that they only replaced the lower section of the shaft, but didn’t replace the section under the rubber boot. I believe that’s the section they need to replace. The dealer was going...

Hello All, I don’t post very often but I could use a little help on this one....I have a 2103 4x4 Mega Cab with 17,000 mile on the clock. Here’s my problem...The truck has a “ clunking or knocking” in the steering wheel when making a slight right turn, doesn't do it when turning left (weird)...

I had a similar problem with my 2013 2500 4X4. Not quite a vibration but a hard/clunk shift from reverse into drive. The first time I noticed it was when I pulled into a parking spot, went to back up to straighten out, backed up, went into drive and then a hard clunk when i went into drive. It...

You won’t even know that toy hauler is behind you when tow it. I have a 5,000 lb. travel trailer I towed with a half ton 5.3 Chevy and it didn’t like towing it also...Lol. When I got my new 2013 2500 CTD...WOW...What a difference!!! You will be impressed when you tow your toy hauler. The first...

Sag2 or any others, Can I add power folding mirrors to my existing 2013 Laramie 2500 mirrors?? My truck didn’t come with the power folding mirror option but wish it did. Is this something that could be add easily?? Is the wiring and “motor” already there or do I have to change out the whole...

EBarnette, Try switching the front tires and see if it still pulls....Sometimes you can get what tire guys call a “radial pull”. Not to say thats what it is, but it won’t hurt to try. Steve
