2025 Battery Issues

[Hayride]

So, the dealer checked the battery said it's ok, guess they recharged it and say its holding fine. but they say the only thing they have done is removed the Rough Country eboard power steps wires from the battery. I'm surprised if it's the steps because they have been on the truck for 6 weeks and work fine, no dead battery. Now overnight the truck drained the battery somehow. Hmmm, i still think it's a software thing, even the dealer said they have a continuous communication issue with the new rams that basically has it drawing power all the time. If the dealer gives it back and battery is holding charge, i'll connect the eboards again and test for parasitic draw. I'd ask them to check that but i'm sure they won't given its an aftermarket gizmo.

Not just new RAMS. 2022 here that's doing it too. 'cept I'm surrounded by incompetent dealers that say it's working as expected (hint, coming out to the truck to find the battery at 11.7V 2 hours after a 3.5 hour drive is not working correctly).
