What is the build date of your truck?

I do not know the date and don't have the truck to check it.

My 2 cents: start the legal process to stir up the pot with Stellantis, the loud squeaky wheel might get a quicker response.
Have you asked the service manager if his team has used a clamp on current meter to monitor the drain on your battery then pull out 1 fuse at a time to see which circuit is causing the current drain? This process will at least point them to the devices connected to that fuse that is draining your battery, hopefully it is only a couple of devices that can quickly be replaced.
Unfortunately not all service techs have a good understanding of electronics or how to effectively troubleshoot them. If a module is drawing lots of power then replacing it and checking the current draw of the battery will tell you right then if the removed module was good or bad, NOT 2 days from now.

I can suggest this to the service writer. I have asked the service manager to call me twice with no response. Starting the legal process will kick this into the legal dept, and lawyer says 3-6 months for resolution. I will give them until Monday.

Question for you about the gas mileage difference. What is the elevation difference between your home and where you picked up the truck? Reason why I ask is I always get worse mileage driving from Las Vegas to Salt Lake compared to the other way back. My father-in-law was convinced that Costco gas was not very good because he would only use Costco when he filled up in Vegas And he always got worse mileage heading home from Vegas back to Salt Lake. It wasn’t until I had pointed out the fact, it is mostly an incline one way and a decline the other way that he realized maybe gas was not the problem.

Very Flat -- Georgia to Lousiana.

We got the truck back from the dealership today. The dealer showed me a picture of what they said is the start/stop harness connector and it was unplugged. It's by the power distribution block. And they ordered a new passenger side mirror motor. They also mentioned that Ram told them to check the condition of seals in that area as they are pushing themselves out of connections. The dealer said that our truck didn't have that issue. As for the stuttering on take off it is still there. They didn't mention anything about a fix for it. So far the truck is driving good.

24 psi of oil pressure? Is it normally like that all the time? That would concern me, but maybe that's how it's designed to run, I don't know.

I was told the Hurricane has a variable pressure oil pump. It only gives as much pressure as needed. Mine has 24" at both idle and 70mpg. Go figure.

One week for my 25 sst in the dealership for the rough start CEL cylinder misfire issue. They said today that they’re going to be switching out two plugs and two ignition coils. Fingers crossed I’ll get my truck back this week and it’ll be smooth sailing from here on out…

Thankfully they got me a loaner for the week

My truck is in for the same. Dealer was told by Stellates to change plugs and coils. It did nothing. Hope it works for you.

Didn’t work. Still have a slight misfire. But they said there is a software upgrade being released soon that should fix the issue. I got the truck back this week after being at the dealership for 2 weeks. Still have the idle revving issue on a cold start. But they claim it’s not doing any damage to the truck or engine, and star gave them clearance to release the truck back to me.

It’ll go back for the software upgrade if and when it is finally released

Does anyone know the wheel offset and lug pattern on a 25 Ram rebel?

What is the idle revving issue on cold start? This thread is difficult to follow, I went back a couple pages but couldn't find it.

On a cold start it will rev erratically, high and low, for about a minute. Reported misfire on two cylinders. They replaced two coils and two plugs but still had a slight misfire. Service techs were told from star that this is becuse it is dumping excess fuel into the engine. I never experience it while driving or starting warm. Just on cold start.

If and when this software update is released I’ll bring it in to have it installed. Do I have high confidence that this will fix the issue? No, but I won’t turn down a delightful surprise.

The one thing I don't like about my hurricane motor is that it does rev high on cold starts. That and the sound. Could definitely sound better. Other than that, I have been impressed with the motor once I am in the drivers seat. I do think the tuning on cold startup could be adjusted better, so hopefully that software update arrives soon. I am at 1400 miles and no CEL yet, but I won't be surprised if it does appear.

My HO doesn't rev high on cold startup. Is it just a SO hurricane issue?

Hey, new to the forum. Just purchased a '25 Limited last week and my story has been full of misery and anger...Dont even have 500 miles on my truck and already had to take it in to the dealer twice. The day I purchased the truck, the 14.5" screen died on the way home from the dealer. Took it back in and they had to replace the center screen. I just got the truck back thursday evening and got to drive it one day and got a CEL and seemed to be in limp mode. Took it to the dealer this morning and they said it had a bunch of codes and the service adviser mentioned something about the wastegate learn cycle...So had the truck a week and only got to drive it two days....k

Damn. At least I was able to get a week in before mine started falling apart.

Is it still at the dealership? Did they get you a loaner?

When was your production date? You order it or get it off dealer lot?

My HO doesn't rev high on cold startup. Is it just a SO hurricane issue?

With my SO for example, today I used the remote start to start it and the rpm's were around 1600-1700 when I got in the truck. If I wait another minute or so, the rpm's start to come down. That's the one thing I don't like about the truck besides the exhaust note from the outside of the truck especially when it's revving that high. Definitely could sound more truck like or sportier.

I bought off the lot..

first time in I took it to the dealer I bought it from and they paid for a rental. the dealer is an hour from my house. second time around I took it to my closest dealer and they reluctantly gave me a rental. they said they wanted to ensure it was a manufacturing defect and not caused by me...after some harsh words they gave me a rental.

Picked my truck up yesterday from Koons in Virginia it’s about 200 miles away from me in Jersey. It drove like a dream, doesn’t high idle at cold start. Only thing I noticed once was that the first time I drove it it was a little jerky at about 5mph but that was the first time it was driven, after that I haven’t noticed it even at low speeds in DC traffic.

Things I’ve checked from this forums, all my features work, windows, everything is aligned properly body wise. All screens work, the ram boxes open with the buttons ( some here reported that they did not on their trucks).

I did baby it with top speed on I95 at about 75. mph for a little while but mostly between 50-65 due to traffic. The truck does NOT want to go slow it is so smooth and accelerates so quick it’s a fantastic ride in all facets. I went from 10mpg to about 17mpg on the trip home and used a little less than a 1/4 tank.

I have about 3500 miles on my Limited, got it in August. I routinely hit mid 70s and 80s daily. Never took it 'easy' on it speed wise. Haven't had any issues with response or idle, and love the immediate passing power. Only issue I've had at all is twice the truck didn't want to start, but as soon as I moved my phone away, it would start. Something quirky there but I accepted long ago that Stellanis couldn't figure out electronics in vehicles (my GC Limited was notorious for absurd electronic warnings). I will say the bed is a bit noisy when I leave my driveway, almost like something isn't "tight".
