Anybody know what this is?

I am seeing some sort of fluid leak underneath my truck right about where the cab meets the bed on the right side.

Possibly brake fluid, or even worse, something from the air suspension compressor?

I have a 2019 Laramie Longhorn with less than 10,000 miles on it. Recently the GPS died. The camera system stopped working, but I think it was just an incorrectly seated fuse in the engine bay fuse box. There were many other fuses not fully inserted as well. Great Quality!!!

The camera came back after pressing all the fuses in. The GPS still shows wrong location. I'm thinking more head unit than antenna or connection.

I have to get the POS in to the stealer for a safety system recall. FCA gave me an 8 year bumper to bumper warranty on the tri-coat lemon because there was so many things wrong at delivery. The stealer ended up putting $26,000 worth of just parts to fix the things wrong from the factory.

I am a Sunday driver, because I was saving the truck for retirement in less than 1.5 years.

Things just continue to go wrong with the POS.

Anyway, can someone please identify what this part leaking is?

I would appreciate help before I make an appointment to bring it to the stealer

Thanks!

Looks like a body mount leaking, remember seeing few reports of that happening, not very common tho.

I kind of thought that .. It smells like a new rubber tire.

Thank you!

Body mounts are hydraulic which helps with the smoothness and noise reduction. Definitely the body mount leaking.

Agreed, leaking cab mount.

Ok, I'm having a very weird issue. Installed dash cam (just wired to ignition power) and pedal commander today.

This afternoon, I was driving along and noticed the time was wrong, which is strange since it's set by using the GPS. I parked, went into the menu, and verified that it was set to pull the time from the GPS system. I set it to manual, set the time, turned off the truck and went into the store. When I came out, I set it back to pulling the time from GPS, and it went back to the wrong time (about an hour and a half earlier than it really is). The location it shows me at on the map is correct.

Anyone have this glitch yet?

Thanks,

My map shows me in northern Canada, the satellite receiver and Wi-Fi died 4 years ago and I have been slowly drifting north ever since.
The clock is not keeping time either due to 0 satellites being picked up according to the display.
The fix would have been a refurbished radio to the tune of 300 or so or a new unit for around 1200.
I like WAZE.

Thanks to all. That was literally my first thought because of the location and smell of the fluid. But I wasn't 100% sure because I thought cab mounts were just solid rubber. I really hope the 8 year bumper to bumper warranty covers it.

This thing is a relentless piece of junk.

My appreciation to all who replied!

Wait, are all body like this ?

I remember back in 2018, 2029 FCA had a problem with the front cab mounts.

Mine is the right rear. I'm wondering now, what's going to happen to the other three.

As you can see by the photos I posted, my truck is still in showroom condition. The undercarriage has no signs whatsoever of wear.

Reading the 8 year bumper to bumper warranty, I'm pretty sure the cab mount is considered a wear and tear item. Hopefully Stellantis will cover the defect. There is no reason the mount should have failed in 9,800 miles.

There's not even any wear or dry rot on the tires yet.

Knowing the kind of company Stellantis is, I'm probably going to get screwed.

I also own a 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe. At 13 years 130,000 miles the front valve cover leaked dripping into and destroying the alternator. Hyundai took full responsibility and coveted the repair 3 years and 30,000 miles out of warranty. That's the difference between a well managed company and Stellantis. Hyundai took care of me. I'll definitely purchase another Hyundai. I would never purchase a Ram vehicle again.

2019 Ram 1500 Big Horn… I have the same exact problem… oily fluid dripping off those mounts, puddle on my garage floor. Whole mount was covered and dripping fluid a few weeks back. Now it’s kinda stopped/dried up. Dealer keeps telling me I’m crazy and says those mounts do not have fluid in them… does anyone have documentation stating otherwise I can show them!?

Could this qualify as lemon truck?

 

[Whitetail Diesel]

Only 10,000 miles Im sorry to hear this wow. You have a warranty to cover everything?
