I just got resolution to a 4 month nightmare. Truck started having problems late December. Replaced battery, problem returned in 2 weeks. Dealer had truck 2weeks, replaced BCM ($600), got battery replaced under Wal-Mart warranty since it was only a month old. Problem recurred within days. Dealer...

I’m interested in the solution as well. I found vacuum pump would run as soon as I connected jump box when battery died overnight. Took it in. dealer said pump tests OK. Truck is still in the shop (over 3 weeks) and dealer can’t isolate the parasitic draw. They say truck has 53 modules and they...

Went to dealer…truck wouldn’t turn over…left it again…tech who worked on it is off today. Battery completely run down, likely my 2nd new battery is shot too.

Thanks for the reply. Truck is still at dealer. I’m supposed to get it back Friday. They “think” they have it fixed, but want to leave it out tonight and re-test tomorrow (and I get get a ride back to dealer till Friday after we missed today).

C212A-16 U0403-00 U0418 U1440 P1DF3-00 + CEL These are what I had in late January, before dealer replaced BCM. i Didn’t get a chance to read the codes on the last set of issues before truck was dropped at dealer.

Did you ever get a resolution? My truck has been doing the same thing since late December. Now 2 batteries later, $700+ in diagnostics & new BCM, battery still dies overnight. Truck back at dealer now….9 days…they can’t find source of parasitic drain.

Is your battery still holding up? I had a similar issue in December… replacedbattery with H7 AGM from Wal-Mart. Then end of January truck started dying again after sitting 30-36 hours. Dealer replaced BCM for $600 and drive me to Wal-Mart to get new battery under warranty. Mid-February battery...

Mine just quit working about 6mo ago. AT&T diagnosed and said it’s a Ram problem. Dealer said they would need the truck 1-2 days and it was 5 days out to get an appointment. Then the service writer said try disconnecting the battery. I pulled the negative cable, reconnected after 30 minutes...

I have a Chalet XL a-frame camper. 19‘ long, weighs about 31-3200 loaded for trip. Height is just over 6’ folded down and it’s about the same width as the Ram. Getting 15,3 average MPG towing at 65-57 mph on interstate (Florida flat). Gets about 19 on 55mph back road, including a few “eco” mode...

Check out the Mopar cover. It’s made by BakFlip. Finish is a tad nicer. And you can use accessory coupon from Mopar website to get a big discount. It’s not completely waterproof, primarily leaks at rear corners in heavy rain or car wash. I added 3/4” weatherstripping to close up yeh tailgate to...

I bought rubber mat off the roll at Tractor Supply. It’s 4 foot wide, so it fits the width exactly. Had them cut it real strait at 5ft 8in and it fits perfect. 2 years later it still looks good. The store intended use of the mat is for horse stalls, so you know it’s durable. No ribs, just...

I was able to negotiate a discount with Sirius on renewal. The Send n Go feature where you can look up a business or location on the phone app, then send it to the vehicle is very useful. I also use Send n Go on my 2015 200C. The app lets you toggle between subscribed vehicles.

Never had the “popping open” issue, but finally took truck to dealer about small leak at back of driver’s side RamBox (torrential rain or car wash). Got it back two days later with a bigger leak (length of the box) after first car wash. Now it’s hard to close, and face near to button is now...

Great for groceries (watch the tall cereal boxes!). I find them useful for camera case, backpack, purse, etc. That you don’t want to leave on “full display” in the backseat when the truck is in a public parking area.

When items are too big for the RamBox, I put them in a milk crate (6 gal size) that I bought online. I keep a couple crates in the box for odd items. when we get home I carry the whole crate into the house, reducing trips to unload. The crate will also fit on the floor behind the front seat, so...

I’ve had the Mopar hard trifold (made by Bak Industries) for 15 months. Very happy. Looks good, secure (like anything, those with enough desire could probably defeat it), works smoothly with tailgate up or down. Does not interfere with remote tailgate release. Price is good with % off coupon on...

I get this regularly when outside temp is in the low 70s and I turn off A/C and put windows down. The only way to shut off the cooling is to move the temp up, and then after a few minutes it kicks the heat on! It’s frustrating, but I love the truck. I was thinking the humidity sensor might be...

I bought the Mopar trifold for RamBox (# ends in AC). I’ve had it 6 months with no issues. It’s made by BakFlip. Instructions were exactly the same pictures as I found online for BakFlip. Fit is excellent. I added 3/4 x 3/4 weatherstripping along the ends of the RamBox where the tailgate closes...

Just tap it a second time after a second or two and you now get 6 blinks. This neat feature has been on Ram (Dodges) going back to my 2008 Dakota. It was a ‘new’ feature then (and was not on my 2007 Dakota).
