2025 RAM 1500 BIGHORN 3.0 I HURRICANE twin-turbo, SO, 420HP - check engine light

TSB 18-071-24 was applied to my Rebel this week. Upon taking it in for the first oil change I asked them to scan and make any software updates that the wiTECH scan finds. I had the cold start stumble symptom but no check engine light. They applied the update as an RSU, and its been a few days and no cold start stumble.
 
Has anyone’s 2025 RAM had an electrical meltdown when stopping at a red light or stop sign? Twice today, my truck displayed a message about 4WD/parking brake and servicing the emergency brake for about a second or two before shutting down completely I had to restart it manually both times, and thankfully, no cars were behind me.
I’m concerned about the risk if this happens on the highway. I couldn't believe it just stalled like that wtf

I am having an issue when I stop, my headlights and front end lights flash. Basically turn off and then back on. It seems to happen randomly and only when auto start/stop is enabled.

I am going to take it in next week to see what they can do.

Not a CEL post but a PS announcement. If you change your own oil, a certain criteria must be met before the oil sensor will read correctly. I’ve done 3 changes now and have just recently discovered that I wasn’t checking the oil level properly. Here ya go. Unless you already knew. P.S. truck is running great after the flash, 1,300+ and no CEL. Also wanted to mention that it only reads the oil level during this time, my understanding is that if you drain the oil while the truck is running, it won’t show the low level until this criteria is met.

My Oil level never seems to budge despite my exhaust tips turning black a day after cleaning them. Direct injection engines do make more soot but I'm alway's thinking the truck must be burning oil even though the meter says it's not.

wtf that's crazy sit for four mins in run position lol. I did not do that at my 1800 mile oil change will do today.Mine has always been at top of redline near max before and after oil change . i know its quiet i know its faster but ugh. New front end on rebel and the new dash is the only thing i really like. O and the automatic close tailgate.

off road pages will tell you if you are on level ground for oil check for anyone that has that option.

Are you using 93 octane. My dad is old and drives slow he uses 87 exhaust is still silver inside. I use 93 mine are black too. Same with hemi dad used 89 exhaust silver inside.I used 93 in my hemis exhaust black inside.
 
This last time the CEL was for the fuel pressure sensor circuit performance. They called me last Thursday and mentioned they were changing the battery, pressure sensor, fuel pump and a seal. Not sure what seal, but they said they were just waiting for that seal. Last update I got was Monday that they were still waiting for the seal but they didn't have an ETA. I called yesterday and left a voicemail, but haven't heard back. I'm worried that with the holiday coming up that this truck is just going to sit there until the new year.. :cry:
I had fuel pressure cel with in the first 8 hrs of owning my 2025 SO. It was the high pressure fuel pump. Pumps are on back order. Mine is now repaired and pumps are thill on back order. It has been a huge pita. Stellantis communication is a joke.

Great so if they are on back order it might be a while until I get my truck back. I called the dealer twice last week and ram and didn’t hear back from any of them.
