How’s your 2019 Ram running? Take our poll!

Only problem I have experienced was the tailgate I’d open it and close it and it would say it was still open. Did that for a couple of days. Hasn’t done it lately, hope it’s good.

Same here although I don't think it was a problem, at least in my case. For me it was user error. If I try to close it softly it doesn't fully latch. I would have to go back shut it hard. They don't make the tailgates as solid as they used to in favor of weight savings and soft open functionality. It just never feels right to slam it shut so I try not to and inevitably I get in the truck and the warning is on. I could see the slightest bit of wiggle between how it is partially closed vs. when it is fully closed and I almost can't even tell by looking at the seems that it's not fully latched.

Issue with Uconnect 12" system. Every time I turn on the motor, the upper section (split screen) defaults back to the "select upper card" screen. No matter what I have displayed on the top screen it goes back to that screen. Bottom has stays as I left it!! Any idea what is going on??

Totally normal by design. You're supposed to select those cards each time you start the truck.

July build and 550 miles Limited - The steering sticks a bit when cornering left and trying to straighten back out. Very noticeable on twisty roads. The bluetooth seems to have some kind of electrical interference when brakes are applied or you have stopped. Micro second dropouts and pops that dont occur if you are using USB.

My "clunking" front end noise has decreased greatly without a fix @ 4100 miles. Hadn't noticed it at all over the past weeks. Starting to finally enjoy driving my Limited.

If that is correct, it's ridiculous! And the bottom half stays on whatever screen it was on when truck is shut off.

Just an update on my ram.

Software update for rough idle.

Sealed pinch weld for water leak in front, ordered a new back glass 8 week lead time for rear water leak.

No fix currently for radio glitch, has no sound at all sometimes. Everything works just no sound. Only fixes itself over night.

A/c was recharged, claimed to have low freon. Wasnt short cycling and the weather is in the 60's now so no real way of testing if its fixed.

Clunk in front end was unable to be reproduced by the tech....Did it leaving the dealer lol. Least of my concerns at this point.

Small evap leak was fixed.

Still squeaks on bump roads. Unable to reproduce also.

Heat on driver side was fixed with software update.

8k miles now, nothing new so far. Just whats stated above.

I wonder if it just needed breaking in?

Which suspension setup do you have?
(Air suspension/offroad/rebel/regular spring?)

I'm in the same boat but think an earlier post probably had it right. The body mounts have hydraulic fluid in them so they act differently when cooler. I fully expect my clunk to return in the spring when it heats up again, but I'm happy to drive it all winter clunk-free.

Maybe a few hard 'bumps' (think catching a bit of air over a railroad crossing) would resolve the clunk the old-fashioned way (i.e. "percussive correction")? Not something I plan to test

I have a sunroof air noise is anyone else experiencing this? It’s kind of loud it’s on the passenger front area of the truck.

My Limited is on air suspension. Not sure about the "breaking in" process, but I haven't heard or felt the clunking for a while now. I'm at 4300 miles and I can remember starting not to hear the clunk around 4k. It's my guess that the floorboard may have been massaged by the constant impact of the mounts until it was shaped where the contact is now minimal. BTW - It was still warm in my neck of the woods when my clunking decreased. Not sure if temperature plays a part, but it's anyone's guess on this issue. My .02.

After having my '19 for about 6 weeks and everything running fine aside from from a little jumpy tranny the first hundred miles, something happened i've never seen before (prior '14 and '16 owner). After running to the bank i restarted and had a hollow sound coming from the engine bay. I drove another few miles to see what was happening and it only increased even if i took my foot off the accelerator. After reaching the next destination, i shut it down and came back out 5 mins later to start her up with no issues. Haven't heard it in two days. this sound familiar to anyone? thx

With these new Rams a great tip with any new, unusual noise is to get out while it's running to see if you hear it outside, or possibly just roll down your window. Many of these noises could be coming from the active noise cancelation system so you should rule that out first.

Hello all, here is an update on my water issues. The dealer finally fixed my issue of water leaking in the back of the cab. They removed the back window and reinstalled with a new seal. They said it appeared that the original seal was damaged when installed at the factory. They also put silicone around the sunroof drain tubes on both sides where they come out of the back of the cab. This has fixed my water leak issue in the back cab but know I have another leak on the front drivers side! After it rained last night my driver side front carpet was wet. So I did some troubleshooting again on my own and found the leak. You won’t believe this one. I Noticed after spraying water on the front windshield on the lower driver side corner, I opened the door and water appeared to be coming in from underneath the seal at the bottom of the door and running in the cab under the carpet. Upon further inspection, I pulled the door seal up off the metal flange it attaches to and water was actually leaking out of the seam where the cab was spot welded together! Unbelievable! I have attached some pics so hopefully you can get an idea of what I am describing. I went straight back to the dealer to show them my findings of this new leak that has appeared. I also opened a case with Ram customer service to start talks about my buy back options. I am done dealing with these water issues and am looking at my options to replace the truck. I hope this helps those of you that are having the same issues. Will update you again when I have more info.

All, I finally got my front driver side water leak fixed after taking my truck to a different dealer. Here is the notes from the service ticket of work completed: Removed inner driver side finder and performed water test inside inner fender and found water was leaking inside through pinch weld. Inspected cab seams on inside of inner fender, used silicone to attempt to stop and isolate leak. Found a seam from bottom corner of windshield running down behind left front fender, did not look sealed properly. Had body shop remove LF fender to gain access to seam. Used seam sealer to re-seal the seam. Performed water test again and found leak was fixed. Body shop reinstalled fender. Hope this helps you guys with the same issue.

Wow...that's a pretty involved repair.

I'd love to see some pictures of this. Maybe I can squeeze my inspection camera into the area and see this seam.
Been wondering about them with the reports of leaks and noticed that the seams at the rear of the cab, just inside the outside top sides of the bed, are not even. One looks sealed up tight but the other looks just short of the metal edges but then Ram painted over all of it.
