#8 of 198 Glad to hear by newramfan Mar 31, 2002 (6:21 pm)
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. :)

I'm Brad from South Louisiana. I just turned 18 yesterday! I have a black 2001 Ram regular cab (V6, Auto) that I got new in August of 2001 and I love it! Glad to see a Ram Owners Club!
#12 of 198 Burnt harness or module usual cause. by saltysack Apr 07, 2002 (11:20 pm)
Hello ChryslerBlues; Very sorry to hear of your problem. These sort of things happen when the insulation fails on a wire bundle because it was not installed properly and the wire bundle rubs with vibration until there is a short and if it is a hot to ground, it can burn before a fuse fails. If the failure s in an electronics module, it is usually early life when these fialures happen. Either a poor solder joint, stressed component, or component damaged at install. It is important for the dealer and Daimler Chrysler to take this seriously and give you and explanation of what happened. I would get the name of the "zone or area" manager who works for Daimler Chrysler and ask them to give you an explanation and to arrange a loaner vehicle. My one concern so far with the Dodge Quad Cab 2002 is that some of the wire harnesses under the hood look a bit amateurish, wound with tape instead of heat shrink or plastic shell. Wiring may be a problem in the future under long use and hot weather.

I picked up my RAM yesterday, here's the lowdown: 4X4, 1500 SLT SB, 4.7L, Auto, Security pkg, Chrome 17" wheels, sliding rear window, Towing Pkg, 3:55 Limited Slip, Premium Cloth, P265 WOL, Running Boards, Patriot Blue / Navy interior. I have to take it back to the dealer tomorrow, my brake pedal sometimes fades to about 1/2, maybe some air in the line. Other than that I love my truck.
#14 of 198 Hello from Seattle, WA by wsmoore Apr 23, 2002 (10:52 am)
I have had my Ram for about 3 weeks now. It is an 02 Quad Cab SLT 4x4. It is Atlantic Blue, has the 5.9L, automatic, towing package, skid plate package, limited slip differential, 17" alloys with the OWL all terrain tires, sliding rear window, and fog lights (plus all of the power goodies that come with the SLT package). I have added remote keyless entry, wheel well liners, and a 6 disk cd changer. I plan to get the bed LineX'd soon. I have put about 1000 miles on the truck, am getting about 11.5 city, 16 highway, and the truck is great!!!

Where did you get your CD changer (after market?) and where did you mount it? Also are your wheel well liners trim or something inside the wheel well.  I would like to dress up my truck and have been thinking about chrome or aluminum trim for the wheel wells, I don't know if Mopar has any such accessories for the RAM.
#16 of 198 CD changer and wheel well liners by wsmoore Apr 23, 2002 (10:14 pm)
I bought a Kenwood CD Changer from Crutchfield, with an adapter to connect it to the factory radio and make it compatible with the changer controls. The changer and adapter together cost $281.00 with shipping. I mounted the changer under the driver's seat, facing the back seat.   The wheel well liners are just the mopar liners for the rear wheel wells. They are black plastic, and go inside the wheel wells. They provide a more finished look. You can see them on the mopar site - www.mopar.com   It sounds like what you really want is wheel flares, and you would probably have to go aftermarket for those, I don't think mopar has any yet...
#17 of 198 Hello by redramqc Jun 01, 2002 (8:20 pm)
My name is Jon. I live in Nashville TN. I picked up my Ram last week. It's a Quad Cab, 2wd, 4.7 engine, auto trans, SLT package, 20" wheels, and most of the other typical options. This is my first truck, and I love it so far. Everyone who sees it for the first time, their comment is always "wow, its so big". I don't drive much, I've only gone about 175 miles in a week, lots of short trips, so I'm not expecting much mileage wise (about 14.1 according to the computer).
