I bought the Optima Yellow Top. Heard nothing but positive reviews.

UPDATE: Long story short, needs a new battery. Truck was jumped started, ran for a bit so by time mechanic tested, it showed sufficient charge of 74% and he said he didn’t get any error codes. Died again a few days later, AAA tow mechanic tested state of health 30%. May have overreacted but...

UPDATE: needs a new battery. Had it tested but it was jumped started, ran for a bit. When it got to the mechanic it showed the charge as sufficient 73%. Died again a few days later. AAA tow guy tested and showed state of health at 30%. May over reacted,just didn’t realize how wonky new vehicles...

Agreed but guess I’m comparing past experiences with my other used trucks/cars with even higher miles. Most of the miles are highway, not sure if that matters. LOL, if number 3 hits, I’ll post it and hope it’s a nail in tire (with my luck it’ll be in the sidewall).

2019 Ram 1500 Limited, Hemi 5.7L, V8, e torque, 4wd. Currently has 77k miles.

Was unsure about buying a Chrysler/Dodge/Ram vehicle in the first place (overall reliability rankings/service issues) but simply liked and bought a used 2019 Ram 1500 Limited crew cab (22,500 miles) for comfort, appearance and other reasons we need a truck. Seems my fears now coming true as...

Same here with my 2019 1500 limited bought “Ram Certified pre-owned”. Electronic Stability Control light came on, high revs engine straining just to go 35 mph. Then engine light on. Drove it back home, turned off then back on with a little trouble starting. Now it’s dead. Will jump start or...
