Help? Hey guys, I have a 2019 Ram, 1500 V8. Hemi Laramie starting issues.

[Javi's Laramie]

I went to start my Ram 1500. This morning with the auto start. When I came out the house i noticed, the truck did not start, so sat in the truck hit the brake and the start button. It does everything as if it's going to start but does not do anything at all. Doesn't crank over or nothing? Any ideas or experience with this type of issue

Most likely it's the battery.

Any noises from underneath when you tried starting it? How old is the battery?

No noise at all when I hit start everything lights up as if to turn on but nothing no cranking nothing just no start.
Not sure on battery life but it's reading 12.4v

Battery reading 12.4v and all lights are turning on just fine. Im thinkinmaybe starter

No etorque? Probably a dead spot on starter if it’s not battery-related. Hit it with a hammer, or replace the starter. If it’s etorque, then it’s a 2-year wait for replacement parts.

What's eTorque have to do with it? It still has a normal starter like every other Ram.

Still could be the battery. Voltage doesn't equal cranking amps.

No noise=no starter. Bang on it or replace it.

My 2022's starter crapped out at 36k miles. Apparently it's a thing with 2019-2022's. Hell if I know. After 6 months of f'n around with it not starting (replaced battery, cleaned body grounds), I finally changed my starter and it solved my problem.

Note, if the hood is not fully closed, or a passenger door is open, remote start is disabled. The upper trim lines have a pin switch for the hood.

Sounds like the starter. Mine went bad on my 2022 at 57,000 miles. I was finally able to get it started after tapping with a hammer confirming it was indeed the starter. Swapped with a brand new MOPAR and been fine since.

Thank you, i'm starting to believe it's definitely the starter when I go to start I can hear a click, and that's it. I'm gonna tap it with the hammer tomorrow to see if it starts.

is your replacement starter factory or after market?
and is it a more heavy-duty starter?

Aftermarket. Purchased at NAPA. I don't know if it's more heavy duty than stock, but it sure spun a lot faster than the old one.

Exact click I heard. The solenoid tried to actuate the starter gear onto the flywheel but was stuck internally. Banging with a hammer released it temporarily. I drove for a few days like that and it was fine and may have been for a while but I was going on a long trip and didn’t want to risk it so swapped the starter.

Yea I can't risk my truck leaving with clients, so I order the starter, debating if I should get a new battery as well
