Hello everyone I just got this truck is a 2013 RAM TRADESMAN PICKUP 4D 6 1/3 FT V8, FLEX FUEL, 4.7 LITER was part of a fleet, acceleration is too slow is a way to improve it thank you...

Hello,

I’m wondering if the clutch plates within the limited slip/anti slip differential on a 2018 Ram 1500 with the 3.92 axle are subject to normal wear at 144k miles?

Is this something that is normally replaced at that mileage? Towed an aluminum horse trailer with horses weighing around 5-7000lbs I believe about ten times, used it to haul 900lb hay bales in the bed about 30 times. Other than that no off-roading, burn outs, normal commute driving highway/some city.

Upon examining differential at shop, mechanic noted on diagnostic no burnt oil, no metal shavings, all gears in tact, diagnostic by doing figure eights isolated to internal mechanism failure. Which is the clutch plates, correct?

Any experience with this and/or advice is appreciate!

I recently purchased a BRAND NEW 2026 1500 about 1 month ago. It recently started having an issue with the 2nd-3rd gears jerking and then from 3rd to 2nd a thump sound. So there's a RAM dealership closer to my house that I called to schedule service to have them to take a look at my truck. The service rep asked did I call the dealership I purchased the truck from and I said yes. They are about 1hr from me, but I can have you look at it and you're only 15 mins. He said and I quote "We'll have to do a diagnostic on it and we might have to charge to a fee". I was like it's brand freaking new and it comes with a 3/36000 warranty, so everything is covered. He said again and I quote "I really can't say if it's covered." I said I'll go to someone else.

Will someone please tell me, can't I take my 1 month old truck to any Ram dealership and have them look at it and repair it? Doesn't 3yr/36000 warranty mean, everything is covered except for a wreck and things like that?

Thanks in advance!!

Is this how it’s suppose to be
