    Grinding noise when turning to the right

    *** To be clear I am not hating on RAM because I am still driving a 2016 Ecodiesel that has performed flawlessly... Just not happy with the way FCA is handling this problem *** I have been dealing with this for a long time... I had the intermediate shaft bearing (or bushing) replaced, didn't...

    Steering grind

    Since FCA still has not figured out how to solve the problem, or has at least not issued the promised software fix, I took matters into my own hands and solved my problem.... I sold the truck! Good riddance. I still have my 2016 Ecodiesel which I will keep but the 2019 is GONE!

    UPDATE: Still no software fix issued. I am trying to contact my local service manager... I hope this issue is not being ignored.

    Eco diesel reliability

    I have (had) a 2016 1500 Bighorn with the EcoD and have had zero problems with it other than some turbo lag after they applied the Emissions "fix". But a subsequent update cured the turbo lag problem. It was so reliable I gave it to my son when I bought my 2019 Hemi (the eco wasn't yet...

    Grinding noise when turning to the right

    My steering column was completely replace with no luck. I got a phone call from the regional rep and he states that the problem has been diagnosed by FCA engineering and that it is a software issue. He also stated that a TSB will be released in Feb to address this issue... more to come.

    Steering grind

    After a lot of back and forth FCA engineering has said that the problem is a software issue. The entire steering system is electric and apparently the computer is telling the rack to do something it doesn't like. They say a TSB will be released in Feb to address this issue. Once my truck goes...

    Steering grind

    Bad news, replacing the entire steering column DID NOT fix my issue... so FCA has replaced the entire top end of the steering assembly and it looks like the only thing left is the power steering rack under the truck (it's electric power steering). My service department is contacting FCA to see...

    Steering grind

    UPDATE - I picked up the truck last night after my dealership consulted with FCA Engineering. They agreed to eliminate EVERYTHING on the top side so they opted to swap in an ENTIRE steering column. I picked it up yesterday at 5pm and have since driven about 60 miles to include many slow speed...

    Steering grind

    Update: I picked up my truck yesterday, the dealership replaced the intermediate shaft and bearing and they thought they had it fixed. I immediately drove around the parking lot for about 10 minutes and was able to reproduce the noise 3 times. I am keeping the truck for now while they work with...
