Although not new, bought my 2019 with 17K miles, it's now at 195K miles and has been completely problem-free.

In my experience with my 5th gen, the rears wear out WAY faster than the fronts, which is completely counter to my 45 years of shade tree wrenching. In fact I just replaced the rear rotors/pads for the second time and the fronts were in GREAT shape. I used Advance Auto gold version and paid...

I did end up paying to have it replaced with an aftermarket unit, Dorman I think. Cost was $1400, almost all of it was labor. Frankly ridiculous. Truck is a 2019 with 195K miles and the rest of the body and undercarriage are in relatively great shape. OEM, and aftermarket I'm guessing, are...

Welcome! there is a TON of great information found in this forum so you're in the right place.

I can only speak to my starter failure, as I've not had any PTS issues. My starter failure sounds similar to your description. Everything lit up as normal and my battery was known-good. But pushing start button only yielded that slight click and then nothing. Cycling the key worked for a...

While my Ram Laramie is not loaded with tools, it is my daily driver and I've got 190,000 miles as of yesterday. this is still one of the most comfortable daily drivers and roadtrippers I;ve ever had, so much so that my goal is to keep it to 300K mile or so (which would coincide with my...

1 - Totally agree with HSKR regarding drilled and slotted. There is no way these provide any benefit other than weakened rotors. Ask me how I know 2. I've had trucks all my life, and I drive a metric shi* ton of miles compared to most. Been through the EBC's, Powerstops, Akebono etc....All of...

THIS^^^ The exact same thing happened with mine. Good call. Curious, did you try the hammer trick to verify?

I've been VERY happy with this unit. Phone Mount for Dodge Ram 1500/2500/3500/4500/5500

For 190,000 miles I see that as very few parts replaced regardless of the age of the vehicle.

I'm at 189,000 miles on my 2019. I've had an exhaust manifold, the battery, the starter, and steering stabilizer links and bushings replaced. That's it. I love this truck and hope to exceed 300K. I do have a rusted oil pan I'll need to deal with shortly, but as stupid as that is, I find it...

This. And bearings outside of powertrain are certainly not covered by that warranty,

There must be codes stored. That is step one in my mind. Got a scanner? If not, go get one. This sounds like a failed sensor to me.

I'd be highly suspicious of the bad BCM diagnosis. What info is that based on, that it won't start?? That's an expensive part to replace without confirmation. When you say "slow start" do you mean it cranks slowly, or that it cranks at normal speed but has to crank longer before it starts...

Yeah, that's about what I was quoted, but it was about $200 in parts total for aftermarket parts. I told the mechanic I'd like to buy the pan and throw a few extra coats of paint on it prior to installation. Thanks for sharing this info. I'm a tightwad too and usually try to tackle these...
