So I noticed that my USB connection in the truck and phone charger work flawlessly again. Over the past few months, it would intermittently refused to charge or connect to my phone wirelessly or with wire. So as I I already ordered some grounding straps, upon popping the hood and doing some...

Sorry to hear, man. It's incredibly frustrating to have such simple things spoil and erode confidence in the ownership and driving experience. Especially on a new acquisition that basically a new truck. And especially at the price point. As I just mentioned in my most recent post that came in...

https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/the-dt-achilles-heel-if-your-having-problems-read-this.12091/ So, I think the issue is indeed a grounding issue, although not the starter mounting design that I was rambling on about previously. Sorry. It was a long day in the garage and I had not eaten...

So, after 6 weeks w/o my truck not running, and taking matters into my own hands, I reached out to the parts department directly and egged him on to find me a starter from a local dealer's inventory and got my truck back just in time for Christmas. I paid for the core charge to take my old...

Yes, that is the error in his information. Etorque is different than the non-etorque stop starts Stellantis Hemis. And for those who have a jerking or hesitating stop-start experience like I do, then the issue is with your transmission. Most likely.

Update. Still waiting for a starter. Truck has not been driven in 5 weeks, three of which has been at the dealer. Reason? Apparently, during the strikes, stalantis rerouted all of their existing inventory to random non-striking facilities. And as luck would have it, didn't keep pretty good track...

So, update. While I'm waiting for Ram to complete the starter replacement, I picked the brain of one of my customers who does authorized and licensed EU conversion work for Stellantis. He brought 3 things to my attention. First, apparently it turns out that all Chrysler products from the past 8...

Wow. If you want to make an entire argument about a generic reference with regards to flexible insulation molding, have it. And considering you yourself are using generic terms without referring or knowing the exact material formula compound of the windshield insulation on our Rams does not make...

I'm always intriguiged by how many "confident keyboard experts" absolutely know for sure how XYZ absolutely can't work or could never happen in a truck that they haven't built or assembled or disassembled simply because, well they said so. Having owned tens of new and used cars, amd worked as a...

Considering over the past year and a half my Ram has been experiencing weird interior function glitches such as the entire touch screen just not coming on at all, intermittent disconnects from XM Radio, intermittent charging functionality of the USB ports, voltage warning light on the instrument...

Mine has been doing this click no start thing for the past 2 months unless you put jumpers on it , until last . At that point it just absolutely refused to start. I gave in and had it towed to the dealership and they just got back to me with $1,000 bill for a new starter. Now I'm suspicious that...

These Transmissions are incredibly sensitive to transmission fluid levels. And that gets exponentially more unpredictable depending on ambient temperature and transmission temperature . And sadly because bean counters chose not to provide a dipstick, technicians are too lazy or stupid to check...

I hear that light tick, but this is something different. It's constant under eco mode load and can even be heard faintly on all 8 cylinders under load. It's NEVER short on power, misses, or stumbles, just gets marginally louder depending on temperature and how long I've been driving it. Also...

X3 My truck has been ticking (especially loud in eco mode) since day one with about 50 miles on her. I assumed it was bad cheap gas as the truck was on the lot for 8 months. But it has only gotten louder and I have been running premium since tank #2. First service oil change made zero difference

It's a sad state of affairs when everyone at a large organization's Vehicle or Customer (Dis)Service has a "title", "authority", and "training" but no friggin' clue what they are doing. From RamCare to Svc Advisors to Techs. I posted the following info in the "transmission downshift clunking...

Also check with a your state attorney general and an lemon law attorney. I have had to lemon law to GM vehicles (still not as bad as this experience with my RAM). In the state of PA, the manufacturer is responsible for the your attorney fees and attorneys will work on contingency. If they think...

If your confidence and faith in the truck, dealer network, and FCA as a whole are fractured, simply look up your New York State Lemon Law and follow the lemon law procedure. Get rid of the truck go buy a Chevy, Nissan, Toyota or Ford and be done with it. You have up to two years or 18000 miles...

I love mine. I paid $69 for mine and bought them to protect the paint. Obviously, those who ordered or received the wrong part, I get your concern. But for the right part and as a $70 or less part that takes a beating from road debris and weather on a truck which has the purpose of working, I'm...

I had mind adjusted at the dealer, but it's still a bit tacky looking. I see that there have been 3 revisions of the part number 68402078A(A/B/C), I suspect FCA is quietly attempting to address the problem. Whether the latest part number will be the final solution will reveal itself in time. I...
