    Tailgate rust. Help!

    I'll look at mine too, but isn't the tailgate aluminum? Not that small part obviously, but the whole tailgate.

    Extra keys

    Thank you. I would have thought the Glock keychain would have discouraged it! However, as the OP has already seen them, I just deleted the photo. Thanks for the heads up.

    Extended warranty from FCA

    There may be some 3rd party/aftermarket plans out there where you could just add some years after the warranty (perhaps that is what Glenb is referring to), but Mopar plans ALL start at your purchase date regardless of when you purchase the warranty. There is zero price advantage to waiting...

    Fueling issues

    Sadly, I have had this problem with both my truck and my wife. Evidently, I am failing to hit bottom. With my truck, I find it is certain gas station pumps and it is very frustrating to me and concerns me greatly, with my wife, I'm sure it is very frustrating to her but I am not concerned at all.

    Main Seal Leak - the saga continues

    Ask and ye shall receive.... I don't put on a lot of miles during my normal days, but this is what I got after about 75 miles of my own driving and 3 days as the vehicle was returned to me this past Friday. The diagnosis from FCA was that it was a transmission leak as noted above and the...

    Main Seal Leak - the saga continues

    Thank you. As usual, good info. Customer Care happened to contact me today and followed up. Everything is approved and they confirmed transmission is on the way, shows in their system, and is expected to arrive at dealer on Monday. Honestly, I am in no hurry (aside from leaving the truck in...

    Main Seal Leak - the saga continues

    So we have a report back from dealer and yes, those above are correct, transmission fluid. As I mentioned, ironically I originally guessed it was trans fluid and created a post stating that and everyone from people on the forum to the dealer told me I was incorrect, it's oil. I have...

    Main Seal Leak - the saga continues

    You are making it tough on me man! Lol. I have been following your advice on numerous threads and it is always rock solid. Wish I had known about trans fluid flourescing as I would have shined a UV light earlier. Also, my first post when I saw, I assumed transmission leak and everyone told me...

    Main Seal Leak - the saga continues

    I was told by my dealer that a "Level 3 tech" had to perform RMS work. In my case, I met him. Seemed a decent guy. There is another member of the forum if you search rear main seal leak who had identical problem. My pics and his could be twins. His vehicle spent 12 days in shop for RMS if...

    Main Seal Leak - the saga continues

    For an update, guess we can safely rule out assembly oil. It took about 200 miles this time, but my leak returned at the exact same place. Drips at the bolt by the inspection cover of rear main seal. And thanks to Amazon Prime and 17 bucks, I have my very own UV light. The drops light up...

    Main Seal Leak - the saga continues

    As an update, Ram Cares has responded to my PM and I will follow up with Lydia as soon as possible. Received the truck back this afternoon. To be fair, the dealer has been communicative, helpful, and interested in solving my problem. It is my second vehicle from this dealer (wife's Grand...

    Main Seal Leak - the saga continues

    Berniez, Good info, thank you! Yes, pretty certain it is engine oil and while I am not a mechanic, I am pretty confident. I have no problem doing the test driving. If they suggest it, I'll do it. I'm not unwilling to participate, all they have to do is ask. No one has mentioned dye, etc...

    Main Seal Leak - the saga continues

    That's what I am starting to believe. When I just wiped it off myself and cleaned it well, it came back at about the same rate as when they "changed the main seal" per the invoice.

    Main Seal Leak - the saga continues

    On December 4th I posted about a leak under my engine and with the kind help of some members, was able to diagnose as an oil leak at the rear main seal. Long story short, my truck had 194 miles on it, saw a spot of oil on garage floor and went under the truck and found the leak. Took it to the...

    2019 Owners Manual... WTF?

    I would like to say thank you to the OP of this thread. I feel a hell of a lot better. Wife owns a Grand Cherokee so I was already prepared to order a paper copy and had it handled on day one of new Ram ownership. Thought I was super smart. Flash forward to today, I got the "Classic"...

    Tranny Leak (part 2)...

    As an update to this thread that has gone all over the place, the dealer, to their credit, had the truck back to me by 5PM on Friday, so less than 36 hours. Yes, rear main seal leak. Replaced, oil topped off, road test and cleaned. Assured it is good as new, or in this case, better than new...

    Tranny Leak (part 2)...

    Took it in to dealer this AM. After their initial look, yes some sort of oil leak. Told it would be tomorrow before I will hear anything definitive. On the upside gave me a loaner without any hesitation. On the downside it is an ugly, stripped newish Wrangler. Painful after the comforts of...

    Tranny Leak (part 2)...

    Thank you. My ignorance. At first look, I thought transmission but after some research, main seal location. Appreciate it!
