They also checked the exhaust manifolds. They were fine. When they tore apart the first engine, it was filled with metal contamination. A lobe on the camshaft was ground down and the lifter had a lot of slop on the roller portion (It was tore up). The final motor that I got installed at ANOTHER...

I am not going to do that. After my issue, Mike Mcdonald got me a really good warranty on my vehicle. Lets just say I dont have to put a wrench on my vehicle for a while. The other dealer I took my truck to, replaced the engine under 10 days, had a loaner for me and fixed several issues...

I will NEVER take a car to Grapevine Ram Dealer. FYI.

Mike McDonald is Chryslers contact. He hands "Issues".

All engine failures have happened with the factory installed motor with less than 1k miles. All had factory installed oil filter and dealer installed oil. EXCEPT the first engine failure (Had MOPAR oil filter and Mobil 1 sythetic) - 2nd Engine Failure, I never got the truck. Failed at the...

I crawled under the truck on the passenger side front. Just near the edge of the skid plate (above it), you'll see the front axle and the wiring harness going to the 4WD Actuator (which is mounted to the axle). I removed the plug from the actuator and re-plugged it in. I Wiggled the wire near...

I think I fixed it without going to the dealer tonight. Out of curiosity, I crawled under the front passenger side of the truck. I wiggled the wire harness going to the 4WD actuator and made sure it was plugged in and with good contact. Went to start the truck and all the lights went off...

At least it was repaired under warranty.

Well did a little searching and found the following thread on accident. https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/service-4wd-system-notification.33968/ Apparently people who had all 3 of these error lights had the 4WD Actuator fail in the front axle. I have an appointment next week to get...

UPDATE again : All 3 codes came back, now 4WD does not work.

UPDATE: Previously the truck would NOT go into 4HI, Or 4LO. Today (in the morning) the Service ESC and Service Trailer Brake Controller messages vanished. In the morning the truck would NOT go into 4hi and 4lo. Afternoon I noticed the Service 4WD light went off. Stopped the truck, put it in...

Just had these three pop up while driving on the freeway. Truck has the Maximum Care Extended Warranty (Just hit 60k miles). Anyone every have all 3 of these pop up at once? Its going to the dealer once I call them on Monday. As luck has it, this happened after 5pm on a Saturday.

Yes.

Hopefully you don't have the issue i had. I had (5) FIVE engines in my truck now and its only got 50k miles on it.
