Anyone else having an issue with the purge or boost hoses popping off? I have the HO engine and twice now (once at 160 miles and again at 1650 miles) when I am approaching a stop sign on a road trip (not in town driving so far) the CEL dings and comes on and the truck starts idling rough (bouncing up and down on the tachometer). Both times it has been pressure popping off a hose. Dealership says now that Engineers are aware and are working a solution for the HO engine that will involve better clamps on the hoses so they will stay on with the higher pressures (I am assuming the SO and HO engines have the same hoses/connections). Will likely be a recall or something of that nature once they get the design resolved and tested and manufactured). In the meantime, I'll just have to live with it and keep putting the hose back on when it pops off.

Glad to know I am not the only one. New longhorn and this has happened twice now…not empressed trying to get out of an intersection with my trailer behind me in the middle of Calgary. First time happened could barely keep engine running to get the side of road. I did find the hose by chance and put back on. Instant fix. Second time I did McGiver the hose to get home. into dealer asap and will be able to show them that it is an issue . I’ll show them this thread. Also put in a ticket to Mopar. thanks ram group. D

made it home after the purge hose popping off again used balck tape and zip tie to hold it. Into dealer shop and they looked at it ... Yup the hose is not locking in place they ordered /back ordered new hose ...Tech re applied balck electrical tape as the fix. For anyone that has rough idle or similar miss fires take a look at the hose. it may nor be popped all the way off and just leaking air...this will make the engine run rough for sure.

Just had the same thing happen to my 1 week old Ram 1500 Limited with the HO motor. Dealer popped mine back on and sent me on my way, it happened again tonight after about 200 miles. Total miles on truck are 1123. Not sure I want to even bother going back to dealer and wasting my time when I can just zip tie it myself.
Updated version installed for past 2 weeks - No issues. As for as a part number look at the number on your hose the last letter should be E as that represents the latest upgrade. I will try to remember to check and get the whole number later
I have taken my Limited out to Colorado (13 hour drive one way) a couple of times now and it's been fine (almost 9,300 miles did the first oil change at approximately 5,500 miles). About the only issue I have is with the transmission being jerky at low speeds but I had that same issue with my 2014 Limited with the Hemi. But thanks for posting this in case I experience that issue..
Since new hose no more issues.
