I have been happy overall with my 2016 Ram 2500 4x4, megacab 6.4 but I just wanted to make a few issues that I've had know to others so that they can be on the lookout.

1: Sunroof leak- I noticed water in my center console and ended up having my sunroof replaced under warranty

2: Transmission seal leak: I was under my truck greasing the front u-joint and noticed a few drips of transmission fluid on the bell housing. I took it into the dealership and they dropped the trans and replaced the transmission pump seal and fluid. I only have 16,000 miles and never offroad.

Keep an eye out and check under your truck periodically. They may just be isolated problems but better safe than out of warranty!

My radio started powering off and on randomly. I also have a slow antifreeze leak. No other Leaks yet. 19000 miles of lots of towing and hauling.

Shouldn't, problem and solution were both pushed over the air via Sat radio on Monday.

I have a 2016 2500 with Uconnect 5, mine started randomly rebooting yesterday. Turned out to be I had updated the iOS on my iPhone 6s to the latest version. Once I deleted the phone and paired it again, it was fine.

Mines not a 2500 but I have the 65RFE and I had the exact same trans leak around the same mileage. Mine was the pump seal as well. Seems to be a somewhat common thing with the RFE trans.

Thanks for the radio posts and sorry for hijacking. Nice to know I don't have something else to fix.

Should say on the sticker on the door jam that tells tire pressure
