2025 Ram 1500 Current Owners - Discussion, Feedback, and Problems

Maybe I meant 93… I never use premium so… the owners manual has a whole bit about it.

The new update addresses knock sensors I think the low grade fuel sets it off
If I have to always use premium fuel, it kind of offsets any of the improved fuel economy the new truck has over my old hemi. I never put 87 in the new truck. The first fill up was 93 octane after I left the dealership and then I have been using 89 since. Hopefully the update addresses the problem but overall, Ram and Stellantis are doing a lot of damage to their brand with all the check engine lights and engine misfires. Sales are in the dumpster already, and the only news that comes out seems to only be bad news that only adds more damage to their brand.

I think you are right about the 91. It's just that 91 or even 93 availability is sometimes dependent on where you live.
 
I got The fronts from Husky, perfect fit.
The picture of your rear Husky flaps looks like they don't fit snugly?
They fit pretty good small crease where it meets up with fender looks way more pronounced in that Pic.
 
To be honest, I wasn't even sure what fuel octane it asked for. I thought it recommended 89 but was still ok with 87. I guess I'm just carrying over the hemi fuel recommendations. In my area, the choices are 87, 89, or 93 at the Shell I always use.
Yeah I thought the same that 87 was ok, but 89 recommended. I'm going to keep on with 93 for another tank or two and go to 89. I want to find out how to talk to someone from Ram about this.
 
I just came back from the dealership. They checked the code and performed some update, but they said it wasn't for a misfire. Instead it was something related to the evap system. They said I should be good now. I asked about the update available for the misfire CEL, they said they know about it and what I was talking about, but my truck didn't show any misfire codes so they could not perform that update. I have never put 87 octane in my truck, so now I am wondering if I should try a couple tanks of 87 to make sure it won't trigger any misfires or codes. But at least this current and only issue was an easy fix and only took a couple minutes.

Thanks for the update!!!

Following on the fuel issue, my 25 shows "low fuel" at a 1/4 tank...very weird. I saw similar responses on a different forum, but wanted to see if anyone else can contribute to the issue/cause?

Isn’t 1/4 tank of gas low?
 
On my old Ram I could add the button for heated seats to the bottom bar on the screen. I have not found how to do that on my 2025. Is it possible? If so, how?

I circled what I mean from my old truck in the picture below

That hasn’t been possible since UC5 radios came out in 2022, and it’s not necessary anymore (redundant) because they are always in the upper corners of the screen for quick access anyway:

@ 5,400 miles as of today.
No CEL so far - she is running great.
Had the first oil/filter change at 5350 by my dealer, and all looks good so far.
My advisor told me there is a TSB for SW update (I don't remember which).
Then, when my truck was ready for pickup, he told me that they didn't have the update yet!

By the way, my mileage (based on the same roads, driving habits, and speeds) has dropped by 2 or so MPGs.
Pure city: 15 MPG
City/HWY: 17 MPG
HWY (twisty roads, going up and down to Heber AZ from Chandler): 20.5 MPG - It was 22 MPG

The highest grade in AZ is 91 octane, which I use.

My 25 H.O. just had the check engine light come on this afternoon at 840 miles. Two days ago, I filled the tank up with non-ethanol 90 octane fuel. Could this be an issue since it's not "91 +" or possibly something else? Truck runs, drives, and sounds perfect. Won't be able to make a dealer appt for a few days.

What is the date of your build?

Also, where do you find your build date? Thanks
