Had trouble starting my ram srt-10 for almost a week now. Took close to 3 tries to get it going to the point sometimes were I was afraid it wouldnt start, or I would wear down the battery trying to get it going. Took it to the local dealership here in Las Vegas so they can find out whats wrong. They called me about two days later (this is today) to tell me they cant find anything wrong. So I said ok then I want to see this with my own eyes because this had been BIG problem ALL week. I met the mechanic that looked at it, at the dealership and I said " ok.. I want to see you start this". Sure as hell , he started it NO problem 3 times in a row... hold on.. its gets stranger... REALLY strange. So at this point I think well "its one of those things where you hear a rattle, take it to the dealership, and well...you know". So I check out, dealership writes paperwork as nothing found.. "could not duplicate". I start to pull away from the dealership, and I notice RIGHT AWAY that the clutch is tighter, yet silkier and smoother (is "silkier" that a word).. than before. It used to be when I would pull away below 1500 rpm the tranny would grind REALLY bad, I tried to duplicate this all the way home (about 20 min), and couldnt. The tranny no longer does this, and it ALWAYS did this before. Now gears feel really tight and "notchy".. also I would always miss 3rd gear when fast shifting, it "pops" into 3rd now with NO PROBLEM. You know how you know your vehicle , and its quirky ways and "feel" and you just know when anything changes? I am quite sure I am getting lied to by Dodge , but I dont know why, as they didnt charge me , and my vehicle is under warranty. I am happy that these things are fixed, yet confused why I am getting lied to. It would not be a problem if there was a mechanical issue, and they warrantied it, and told me so. Any thoughts?
