How do you find the "build date"

Look at silver sticker inside the door jam. Mine says "092517"

09 = Month (September)
25 = Day of Month
17 = Hour of Day Military Time (5pm)

In love with this truck. So much room, so much fun to drive. Basically use it as my office now.

Only headache is that CarPlay just plain doesn’t work (after a month of working fine). Could be worse... Apple in general is a growing headache in and of itself. Maybe my truck is wiser than me and is just trying to send me a message :ROFLMAO:

I want to thank everyone that contributed to this forum. You have helped me figure out the issues with my truck when I had no clue.

I experienced the water leak issue that caused wet carpets resulting in the mold; improperly installed sunroof water drain tubes between cabin and bed; and squealing brakes. I just got my truck, 2019 1500 Limited built 3/18, back from being at the dealership for 1 month; truck currently has 5000 miles.

FCA replaced the carpet and completed multiple water tests to ensure no leaks. To reduce the brake squeal a mechanic applied BG Stop Squeal to my front brake pads. My FCA Rep was instrumental in getting the dealership to complete the work.

For everyone's awareness, there are currently three recalls that were applied to my truck: (1) RRT 18-070 Added urethane to the inside of the hood (2) RRT 18-058 Inspect and verify body control module (3) U92 Reprogram ABS Module

I hope this helps.

Ive had this truck 2 months, probably 6k miles. I have water leaks at every corner. Clunk while turning.. Radio does the no sound thing. Something squeaks in front end on bumpy roads. Currently at dealer for a/c poor performance and the water leaks. 3rd visit for repair. Small evap leak at 1000 miles started it all. Also, driver side heater doesnt work. stays cool, while passenger side blows hot. Came from a GMC 2500hd. Thought i loved the switch. Worried now lol.

Keep us updated on your dealer visit. If we can be of any assistance, send us a direct message. We'd be glad to help.

I Started my 2019 Laramie yesterday (370 Miles), and the sensors were stuck on for 4 miles. It was deafening, had to keep the windows down. Then it turned itself off. I tried turning the car off several times, nothing worked. Got to take it to the dealership, wasn't happy!

Truck is less than two weeks old and is running great, but I have had a few issues. First the center console right next to the Limited where your elbow would rest has a divot in the padding. I took it to the dealership and they agree it has to be replaced, so one is on order. Second the 12" display got wonky on me a few times. I was driving down the highway with the front defroster on and when I went to turn them off it locked up. Nothing would respond, so needless to say I had to lower the windows to keep from getting roasted out. This lasted for about 3 minutes until it reset itself. So far I'm happy wit the truck.

Had some scratches on the hood, looks like some was drug across it. Dealership is taking care of them today.

Very happy to be boring... so far everything works as expected, though I'm still figuring the truck out too! 230 mile so far, picked up last Friday (today is Wednesday). I'll tow with it the first time tomorrow (light pop up camper); hitching up tonight was the easiest ever (I'm used to using air suspension to hitch up, but haven't had a backup camera before...wow... cheating for sure;) )

well just over 200 miles .... so far the only issue is the trim piece just below the front passenger window was very loose, luckily the screw was there just not tightened and didn't scratch up the paint.

Been a great truck so far, my wife and I love it, most comfortable thing we've had. Only real issue with approx 800 miles is the body mount clunk which I think I'll attempt a fix this weekend. Only other problem I have found is with MOPAR's instructions for the bed light kit, which I posted a thread for the correct pin placement in BCM.

My ONLY issue is with the squealing brakes. Currently at 3900 miles - Mammoth trip coming up next week with service close behind. All in all I LOVE my truck!

About the sunroof drains... on page 4 of this thread are similar pictures of the drain between cab and bed - does mine look ok? Also, where I've marked with red arrow, is that the drain into the engine bay? Its a little black tube, and not easy to photograph with phone.

Only problem I have experienced was the tailgate I’d open it and close it and it would say it was still open. Did that for a couple of days. Hasn’t done it lately, hope it’s good.
