problem #1

Ram 1500 SLT 5.7L Hemi V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 10,000 miles

After the truck's fourth visit to the shop for engine stalling, my driver's side door lock broke. Since that had to get fixed I figured the dealer could look at this popping noise that would sound off every time the right front tire hit a bump. Turns out the ball joint had went bad. Dealer said don't worry about it, it's under warranty. I said that's fine but don't you replace them in pairs meaning the left front should be replaced as well? Had to argue with the service manager and even pull out my Haynes manual to show them where it says it is recommended by Dodge to replace them b popping noise
