    Looks like I have a leak...

    Interesting. Hopefully the dealer will track it down. Thanks.

    Looks like I have a leak...

    That's all I can see at the moment as well. I tried using an endoscope, but I couldn't get it oriented well so that the image would display on my phone screen. I wish I could find an undercarriage photo or diagram of the truck so I could see what all is oil bearing in that area. Of course...

    Looks like I have a leak...

    So I made an appointment at the dealer to have this oil leak checked out. They are taking the truck in on the 26th. In the meantime, I checked the engine oil which is full and dirty. It's not the same color as the oil that I'm seeing dripping off of the skid plate. What else is in this area...

    Thank you Mark. So far, no issues with the dealer in all the repairs this truck has undergone.

    T True, but there is only about 1,200 miles on the oil. I'm just going to make another appointment and get it to the dealer. I guess I'll park it until they can look at it.

    Yeah, have to do some investigating. Oil was changed back in June so drips should be gone by now if any was spilled. Possibly drain plug is coming loose. Just noticed drips tonight. I'm hoping not an engine problem. This truck is a real lemon. The dealer has over $15,000 in parts into it...

    Looks like I have a leak...

    The truck only has about 3,400 miles on it. I had the dealer change engine oil at around 2,200 miles. So the light color would make sense if the leak is indeed engine oil. I would guess that transfer case oil or front differential oil would be darker. I would have never known if there were...

    It's 35^ here now. It feels oily. I'm guessing engine oil or brake fluid.

    Looks like I have a leak...

    Just saw spots on my driveway this evening when I got home from work. I crawled under the truck to see if I could find any wet spots and sure enough there is evidence of something leaking and running off of one of the skid plates. I'm a little too old to crawl the entire way under to get a...

    Ram 1500 - Headliner rattle and Passenger seat creak

    From going through this myself, the clips usually do not squeak. They click, tick and rattle. I would start by trying the felt flocking tape. The dealer did a few of mine early on, but the issue came back. They used the Mopar flocking tape which was very thin. I bought 4mm thick flocking tape...

    Heated steering wheel on limited Ram’s?

    Same here. My leather gets really hot, but the wood just gets warm.

    Ram 1500 - Headliner rattle and Passenger seat creak

    It should stop the rattle. That's caused by loose Velcro retainers. The squeak may be the headliner rubbing on something. Could even be the center overhead console. Try to locate the exact position of the squeak and try some foam in that area as someone else said. I thought they would have...

    Ram 1500 - Headliner rattle and Passenger seat creak

    For the headliner use felt flocking tape. Place the tape between every black hard plastic Velcro hook and its retainer. I used 4mm thick felt tape. It holds the fasteners in their retainers and keeps them from clicking...

    Center console armrest (lid) removal?

    Does anybody know how to remove the center console armrest? Mine has quite a loud squeak on the passenger seat side whenever a passenger rests their arm on it. Thanks

    Key Fob distance

    Excellent write up! I have a question: Since the RFH continually scans all of the LF antenna units, would the RFH know if one of its antennas were misding or not connected and store an error code? You and I spoke on another thread about LEDs causing key fob interference. I am encountering...

    Key Fobs and LED interference

    Monitoring this thread. I've got the issue as well. I just reinstalled the 3 incandescent factory bulbs to see if the problem goes away.

    Key Fob Not Detected.....but....it's in my pocket!

    Just to ward off all evil spirits, I reinstalled all 3 original factory incandescent bulbs in the 3rd brake light housing. I'll see how it goes for a few days. If I get no "key fob not detected" error, I'll consider the console antenna functional. I wish I knew where in the console it was...

    Key Fob Not Detected.....but....it's in my pocket!

    Thanks for posting those. Now this really has me thinking. I read that there was an LF antenna in the center console. My center console was replaced by the dealer because they damaged it taking my interior apart to get a bolt out of the heater box that was rolling around in there. Of course...

    Key Fob Not Detected.....but....it's in my pocket!

    When you start the truck, you have to put your foot on the brake pedal which illuminates the 3rd brake light right by the key fob antenna.
