Service shifter

[Faze]

that's just horrible.. maybe it's just some BS electronic glitch and you have it back soon

The fix itself seems pretty quick. Just a matter of getting the part. Best of luck.

The dealer wants to replace the starter, which happens to be on back order. I asked them to check the TCM but they said they arent able to until they replace the starter.

I don’t understand why they can’t hook the truck up and check for parasitic draw without replacing the starter. It doesn’t need to be running to accomplish that.

They probably can, I think it depends on how lazy the tech is.

I would like to meet the guy or team that thought a rotary shift was a great idea ....

I'm with you !! Those are the dumbest fuckin idea anybody could have come up with !!

There are tons of guys on the 5th Gen Rams forum who love it. They all say they'd rather have more console space for their Big Gulps.

I will say, I personally love the rotary shifter. I'm coming from a 2022 rebel and I find myself constantly missing that huge center console. There was so much room for activities. It fit my handgun, a pint of vodka, and cigarettes perfectly. There's really not much of a reason to have the shifter where it is in the RHO and TRX, especially since they have paddles. You use it once to go into drive, and then it's pretty much just in the way for the other 99.9% of the journey. Not to mention, in the 2,000 miles I've had this truck I think I've accidentally knocked it into manual like 5 times

I'm glad I am not the only one that feels this way.

I don't know where I'd put my right hand if I didn't have the shift knob. Probably tucked in my pants like Al Bundy, I guess.

Hey you just found the other knob!

Nah, that's in the hand that holds the steering wheel

Same!!

+1 for the rotary knob… yes, I said it!

The center console on my 2020 Laramie was freaking awesome. This POS shifter eats up a ton of storage space, and caused the OP to be stuck in the shop… so I’m going to hate on it!

Alright, y'all can go start a Rotary Club somewhere (else). The rest of us will create our own club - it's going to be called the Knob Polishers

So is this knob polishers club a self polish or do you all help polish each other's? JK

The Rotary Club handles that part (it's a service organization). So now that I think about it, our club will be the Polished Knobs.

Bring back column shifters.

We need a manual RHO as god intended

I just spoke with my RAM case manager and it looks like they’re moving forward with replacing the starter. I brought up the TSB that literally explains what to do in a “No Start” situation, but they didn’t seem to care. They also don’t have an ETA for the parts, so I told them if it takes more than 30 days, they can just keep the truck and I’ll start a buyback process. I even offered to send them the video of me driving the truck that same morning before it happened, but no dice.

But you never know, maybe their right and I'm just being impatient.
