    The dreaded leaking and cracked rear window frame

    Thanks for putting me "in my place"! One only needs to read through this thread to see that "the right way" for years, didn't work and wasn't the "right way" after all... No need to get bent out all of shape, hope the dealer gets your truck back to you soon.

    The dreaded leaking and cracked rear window frame

    To each their own, but I've had two 5th Gen Rams, neither had the rear window leak. On my current one, I proactively put Permatex on (years before that was the "approved fix"). It was pretty easy to figure out that was the real fix, not swapping in a new window (since many had the new window...

    New Ram Limited doesn’t have surround cameras?

    A base Limited is actually a pretty base truck.

    2025 Ram 1500 Order Updates

    There's a Fletcher Ram in Franklin, Indiana, although Rams should truck there direct from SHAP.

    It should be there today unless the truck has an issue (mine broke a hydraulic hose and was delayed a day). Worked in my favor though as I saw her arrive.

    2025 Ram 1500 Order Updates

    I just did the front end - hood, fenders, and bumper. I used XPEL on one truck, another brand on two other ones. It went on clear and unnoticeable. It's been a few years, but I was just under a grand to get it done. At $2500 I'd have passed (I was trading in trucks every other year with 60k...

    The dreaded leaking and cracked rear window frame

    Good info but the sealant fix is also a DIY in less time than it takes to drive to the dealer and less than you co-pay.

    2025 Ram 1500 Order Updates

    It's most likely not shipped and not in Cassen's possession yet. He's close enough to the plant his truck won't take a train.

    They are the main transporter in this area. They brought mine (and my F150s). Have your dealer call them, see if they can mark it "hot"...

    2025 Ram 1500 Current Owners - Discussion, Feedback, and Problems

    I believe they said from the get go that the digital key would be a late availability. I just took the below screenshot on the Ram website.

    I've had PPF on a few trucks, but have had it torn by large rocks. IMO, its well worth it, even with the tear mine had (the paint was still untouched).

    If it's a software issue, they likely have different programming (and I don't think as many of them in the wild just yet).

    Interview with an engineer that helped design Hurricane engine

    Great video, thanks for sharing. If only the engineers had the final say and not the accountants!

    2025 RAM 1500 BIGHORN 3.0 I HURRICANE twin-turbo, SO, 420HP - check engine light

    The original poster hasn't been back to update this thread and likely wont... If your 25 is running fine, enjoy the damn truck. I enjoyed my '19 back in 2018 when others had issues with them, forums just magnify the issues. Although, when the CEO says they have quality issues at the plant...

    2025 RAM 1500 BIGHORN 3.0 I HURRICANE twin-turbo, SO, 420HP - check engine light

    They changed the entire electrical system back then or just a slight refresh? The issue with the 25s IMO is they changed everything but the sheet metal, but didn't iron out the kinks... OK, in your view it's not complicated. Why hasn't Stellantis resolved all these CELs yet? There's a reason...

    The build site is far from accurate, many have posted on here discussing it. Looking forward to seeing pics of your truck!

    Pretty common. The dealership should honor your original price.

    Draining the radiator

    Excellent post! Can you share the part number or a link to that plug? As easy as this was for you, can't hurt for many of us '19-'21 owners to get it done...
