Q: Would love advice on 2007 Ram 1500 4x4 quad cab
Ive had truck for about 3 Years. I bought it with approximately 67000 miles on it. Off the bat there was recall on gas overflowing. got that fixed and have had problems since with not being able to pump a few cents at a time now. Then there is the issue of going through 4 set of front brakes. mainly driver side and eating tires after alignments. Since buying have had issues with popping out of reverse often. it seems to be starting in 3rd gear more often than not. wasn't to bad now its shifting hard
