    3.6L Longevity

    Just posted about my 2019 RAM 3.6 needing two right side total camshaft replacements at 60,000 and then 65,000 miles. Can’t believe it, same side. Have heard from other family and friends about issues with their 3.6l as well. Quality is not consistent. Everything was covered under my certified...

    Camshaft Replacement at 60k miles...

    Follow up on this issue. So just 5,000 miles later at 65,000 miles the ticking sound returned. Brought it back to the dealer and they said it was the same side again, all right camshafts replaced again. This time they said the oil cooler had some metal shavings in it plus was leaking and needed...

    Camshaft Replacement at 60k miles...

    Thank you for the reply and tips! The truck has been driving great, better than ever, since the cam work was done. I hope it stays that way, would like to keep it long term. I’ll post the oil analysis results here when I get it done within the next few months.

    Camshaft Replacement at 60k miles...

    Just wanted to share what happened with my 2019 RAM 1500 Bighorn (3.6L with e-torque). For about a month I noticed a very slight ticking noise that became more frequent as the vehicle increased in speed. The dealer initially thought "it's likely exhaust related bolts". I took the truck in just...

    Ticking engine sound at idle and low speed on 2019 3.6L

    Hi, I have a 2019 3.6L RAM 1500 with just under 60,000 miles on it. For the past week I've noticed a ticking sound coming from the engine compartment at idle that becomes slightly more noticeable and more frequent as you speed up. At higher speeds I don't notice it as much. The truck was bought...

    Very bizarre push button start behavior (possible bad battery?)

    I originally posted about this in the interior section of the forum but this issue has become rather bizarre. So I have a 2019 1500 Bighorn 4x4, around 40,000 miles on it. The other day I noticed the truck wouldn't start, turned out the battery was dead (would just sit at 25% charge). Tried...

    Push to Start button stopped working (even after new car battery)

    Ok cool. Yeah I checked the back floor area and didn't notice anything wet, will check again tomorrow. I just tried to start the car again after leaving the battery cables off the new battery for a few hours. Once the cables were reconnected I noticed a "Press key fob to push button start"...

    Push to Start button stopped working (even after new car battery)

    Thanks for the tip, will check! Did the dealer fix your rear window leak up warranty? What's interesting with this issue is that the original battery refused to charge after it died. However, the screen in front of the steering wheel was always on so maybe that's why it couldn't charge? If not...

    Push to Start button stopped working (even after new car battery)

    Hi, I have a 2019 Bighorn 4x4 (v6) with about 40,000 miles on it, bought it certified preowned. The other day I noticed that my truck wouldn't start. I attempted to charge the battery but no luck (would just sit at 25% on the charger). I bought a new AGM battery, installed it, and the doors and...

    What do you think? 2019 certified preowned 1500 North Edition?

    Some good news on that front. The dealer is going to replace both passenger side tires tires due to the lettering and side wall wear.

    What do you think? 2019 certified preowned 1500 North Edition?

    Great points! Thank you. I truly feel that this truck has every option I would want and that I’m making no compromises. If there’s any negative it’s that wear on the white tire lettering on the passenger side but that just seems like curb wear. It has every option I want in the color I want with...

    What do you think? 2019 certified preowned 1500 North Edition?

    So I’m about to buy my first Ram. My budget has been $35k - $38k. I had been looking for 2020 models but didn’t find one with the features and mileage I wanted. This one I’m about to buy is a certified preowned 2019 black metallic RAM 1500 crew cab 4x4 North Edition, equipment group 2, with...

    2019 1500 Big Horn vs 2020 1500 Big Horn Built to Serve?

    Yeah, pretty bad sales tactic. I could have easily gone tomorrow to get it but nope...It worked out, think I'll be happier with the BTS truck.
