i have a 2012 ram 1500 5.7 hemi and on cold starts my truck will crank but not turn over on the first try. if i give it a little gas it acts like it wants to start up but usually after a couple of tries it will start up with no problem. other times the only way to start it and keep it running is to push the gas pedal while cranking it. im also throwing a code U1449. any suggestions?

Hi rilley1579,

Has this been a concern for a while, or just starting to happen with your Ram? Has a dealership addressed it at any point for you?
