My screen name is newramfan. I am a 29 year old male and I live in Missouri. I am new to the website and happened to stumble across the "Owners Club" for Dodge Ram owners. I have had my 2002 ram 1500 for about 6 months now and am enjoying it immensely. It is a 2wd quad cab and is pretty well loaded. It is graphite in color with the dark slate interior - cloth. I tried out the leather but didn't care for the feel. It seemed like the seat depth (front to back) was shorter and not as supportive. The 20" wheels really make the truck. To date the only problems I've had are 1. the back door locks won't unlock completely when it is cold out, and 2. the drivers side seat seems to have a little play in it so that when I come to a stop or take off it slides about a half an inch or so. I got the 4.7 engine with auto tranny. So far (after 4000 miles) I've had no trouble with the tranny. I was fortunate to get the extra powertrain warranty while it was being offered as well as low % financing. There lot's more to tell, but it can be done at a later time. I look forward to meeting other members and hearing their stories.

I go by Magilla (good grief, what if that were really my name? - talk about getting a butt kicking everyday!) on the board. I've got a '02 Ram Quad, 4.7L, 5-sp, light silver, and park it in Phoenix. Got a great deal on my mayor from Performance Dodge in Glendale, AZ. Looked at many dealerships (and couldn't believe the tactics at some like Earnhardt), but Performance was terrific. Definitely a difference in a 5-star dealership. Anyway, the only MINOR problems that I've encountered so far are: 1) A slight rattle in the dash/windshield area on the driver's side (not checked out yet), 2) a very slight and erratic rattle in the driver's side door panel (sounds like the locking lever rattling now and again), and 3) a squeaky clutch pedal on depression on 4 occasions when it was cold out. Otherwise, it's been perfect. I'll give Performance the opportunity to correct these minor problems when I take it in for the 1st oil change next week. Love my truck. And, hey Karen, how about calling this the Mayors Club? |

| Lamar here from Montgomery, Alabama. I have an '02 Quad. Purchased it in early March from Randall Noe Delaerships in Terrell, TX. Got a great deal. Worth the 625 mile drive. Mine has the 4 Speed Auto, 4.7, Graphite, 17" Chrome wheels, SLT, cloth, bedliner, bug deflector, keyless, CD....as well as a few other options. As many of you who read these postings know, I paid $21,200 for mine. Stickered for $26,800ish. I have had no problems. Currently at around 2000 miles. Gas mileage is around 15.7 in mixed driving. I am starting to see more Quads around town, but they are rare. | |

3 weeks I purchased my new Ram in Springfield, MO. It is black w/ a bright grill, quad cab, graphite seats (I also liked them better than the leather), 5.9 V8, and towing package. Last weekend my Mayor broke down and has been out of commission for 7 days now. It has 800 miles on it. They discovered that the computer and wiring harness burnt up. They have not given me another vehicle to drive and they have no idea when my truck will be fixed. I was extremely happy before this problem, but now am worried I will continue to have problems!! Hope all continues to go well for all of you!

| Unfortunately you have had some bad luck. Was your QC built in MO or in Mexico? Mine was built in St. Louis, MO. I purchased mine at Shottenkirk in Quincy, IL, but they did a dealer trade with a dealership out of Paducah, KY. Were there any clues leading up to your problem that the rest of us can keep an eye out for? I'm sorry to hear about your misfortune. The "No Loaner" thing is one of the downfalls to buying a Dodge. They should at least offer discounted rentals or something. Good luck on the return of your new Ram, and best wishes for no more trouble. | |

| There were absolutely no indications leading up to this problem. It worked one day, and it didn't the next. My truck was built in Michigan. They told me it was being built in St. Louis, but were wrong. Can't wait to get it back!!! | |
| that it wasn't a St. Louis factory, but hope it's not a problem with the Ram in general. Wish there were some clues to watch for. Maybe you'll get your Ram back this week. Good luck and I hope you have no more troubles. | |
Hello from Virginia. I just picked up my 02 Quad Cab Ram last week. Ordered it from 1 click auto brokers. PS, PW, Power Locks, Auto, Power Mirrors, SLT, Air, 17" chrome wheels. I got the 1$1500 rebate and 5.9 financing to go along with it. $25880 sticker price, I got it for $22100 without a trade in and no haggle. It was great. I'll never buy a car or truck from a dealer again. : )
