    Stolen Rebel in Ontario

    They should just lock down programming fobs. If a new key is added, lockdown the truck for an hour or more. If the battery is cut, start the time over like trying to guess passwords on phones too many times. Then make it so you either need all keys to add one, or a single key and there's a...

    Parts shortage... When will it end?

    It'll only end when it costs them substanially more to not rely on the other side of the world for cheap labor and parts. If every single vehicle waiting on parts was forced buyback under lemon laws and it was going to destroy them they'd actually go back to having inventory and stocking parts...

    My truck has been a nightmare! I don't think I can get myself to buy another Ram product again.

    yeah but once you call it does start the out of service clock and document it regardless if they can't make time for it.

    Diesel additives “POWER SERVICE” brand name

    There's a bunch of reviews on them all. In my TDi days I used the grey powerservice. Now I use the Hotshots Secret EDT. I carry a 60ml syringe and I can draw up a full syringe and shoot it right into the fuel nozzle before I pump.

    Spinning wheels and skidding even in AWD...

    If you are spinning it's your tires or the surface you are on. M+S all season tires will do light snow. They will not do ice or deep snow and will turn into rocks below freezing. 4wd, or AWD doesn't matter, if anything it makes people overconfident and gives them a false sense of security to go...

    Paint popping off roof

    Paint issues are considered uncorrectable defects. There's no way to restore a factory paint job without stripping and rebuilding the entire vehicle at the factory. The only option is replacement or a very very large "can you live with it?" payment on top of a independent professional repair.

    Low oil pressure

    When you have the filter out, you'll see there's a little plastic triangular nub. You can pull it out to look. Don't lose it. Now put it back exactly as you found it. That's the problem. It's a anti drainback valve. If the oil filter isn't tightened *just right* to compress the spring and...

    Low oil pressure

    Its a fake calculated reading. The sensor only detects oil pressure below 8/10 psi and triggers the idiot light, which is the red light in the upper right. Not the low oil pressure message in the EVIC. ok, this reading is a fake reading. It's computed from random garbage. This is the "real"...

    Mice. G****mn mice.

    I've never had luck with scented stuff, mothballs or bitterants. Heck I had stuff I had put mint oil on as well as bitter apple eaten only where it was applied. I put wasabi mixed from powder out and they ate that too. Traps > poison>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>scented stuff>>>>>>sound/sonic things...

    Low oil pressure

    The usual "fix" is to remove the oil filter, check the gaskets and reinstall it and make sure it's tightened well. https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/2021-ecodiesel-oil-pressure-problem.38298/

    Mice. G****mn mice.

    If they are using the truck for shelter, you are screwed. When they are sheltering, they chew up everything to make nests. This is where you may find insultation shredded and wires chewed up, maybe later or until corrosion sets in and ruins lots of things. If they came in for food that was...
