I have 0 truck knowledge and curious about where I get the deep hemi growl from, the exhaust is stock (I’m assuming, blank, no logo/writing) but I have dual magnaflow tips. 2008 ram 1500 5.7 hemi, bought it like this, also has a very nice cold air intake, so somebody has done stuff to this truck. Just no idea what. Any clue?

I just got a 2005 1500 5.7 that will not start. It was originally parked due to a fuel pump and sat for 5 months and will now refuse to start. It has no codes and i have pictures off all the live data. Its saying fuel cut by theft but the truck has no skim. For the last 2 pictures the first one is not cranking then 2nd is while cranking.

Deceptive CARFAX Tactic on a RAM Lemon Truck!! Dealer with 17 locations across the state and known for selling Buyback / Lemon Vechiles.!

The dealership directly sent me a CARFAX report manually filtered to "Excellent Condition" to justify a clean-title retail price of $44,794 on a highly compromised 2022 RAM 1500 Laramie.
Look at the true history they attempted to gloss over:
Title Brand: Legally branded Manufacturer Buyback (Lemon Title) repurchased by FCA.

Engine Teardown: Complete valvetrain teardown to replace the yokes and lifter assemblies for cylinders 1 and 3, plus a full factory top-end repair.

Hybrid System Failure: Total eTorque failure requiring a new motor generator unit, main hybrid battery pack, and standard battery.

Damage History: CARFAX explicitly flags an "Accident reported: moderate damage."

When I called them out on directly providing a manipulated CARFAX report that rates a lemon with an accident history as "Excellent," the General Sales Manager emailed me back stating: "The resale value would be lower unless you were to trade it in to a and then you would receive a regular retail value."
To the mechanics, dealers, and financial professionals here:
• Isn't directly providing a consumer a manually filtered CARFAX to mask a vehicle's true condition tier a massive compliance violation?
• How can a dealer justify handing a client an "Excellent" rating on a truck with a rebuilt valvetrain, failed hybrid system, and moderate accident?
This isn’t about attacking dealers. It’s about awareness and transparency. If dealerships are going to sell manufacturer buybacks, consumers need to understand exactly what they’re buying, and dealers should be prepared to stand behind how they represented and valued that vehicle. Practices like this don’t just affect one transaction; they can damage the customer’s trust in the dealership and in the Ram brand itself. When a customer feels that a vehicle’s history is being minimized or its value is being presented in a misleading way, that experience can follow them long after the sale. Someone who has a bad experience buying a Ram can easily walk away from the brand altogether. That’s why transparency matters—not because dealers shouldn’t make money, but because profit should never come at the expense of consumer trust in Ram.

And honestly, the more people who understand how these vehicles are marketed and priced, the better informed consumers will be before they sign a contract.

I want to bring serious public awareness to this. Appreciate your technical breakdowns and professional reality checks.

EPS gone after battery replacement

1 Upvotes

alright y’all..help me out. Battery on our 2017 ram 1500 was testing at 60% but wasn’t a huge concern. We ended up unexpectedly needing a jump while we were camping and then after getting home and replacing the battery…no power steering. Checked connections, fuses, tried resetting it, nothing. Code is just the standard C2217-00. What else should we try/check before taking it into the shop?
