    Intermittent Cruise Control Button Panel Not Working

    I'm reviving this post as my intermittent cruise control has returned, but I've discovered a new way to solve the problem at least temporarily. When my CC is intermittent, I pull the fuse (in the TIPM box) for the cruise control (make sure key is off when you do so). Put the fuse back in and...

    2013 Hemi Misfire Cylinder 2

    I had the same issue on my 2017 and it ended up being a bad fuel injector. Mention that to your mechanics as a possible source of the problem.

    P0303 code

    I had a similar code a few months ago--it ended up being a bad fuel injector. That code was also accompanied by a barely detectable rough idle that eventually worsened to a VERY rough idle. The bad injector was always leaking into the cylinder, causing an overly rich mixture, which the...

    Slight shudder/vibration at idle

    FWIW. . . I contacted RamCares to see if they'd help with the repair bill, as the truck only has 22,000 miles on it (out of warranty time-wise). To my surprise, they paid for the repair except for $100--I already have the check in hand. I am impressed with their customer service.

    Slight shudder/vibration at idle

    UPDATE: It was the cylinder 7 fuel injector. It was replaced and the truck runs great now. The mechanic also said the O2 sensor was toast--likely because of an overly rich mixture dumping unburnt fuel into the exhaust.

    Slight shudder/vibration at idle

    The shop called yesterday and are replacing the O2 sensor to see if that fixes my issue--supposed to hear from them today if it fixed it or not. I think they're ruling out the easy stuff first. Stay tuned.

    Slight shudder/vibration at idle

    Mine started exactly like you're describing-- like every few minutes I could feel a slight shake (when idling and paying attention) that only lasted a fraction of a second, them would be normal again. That's what caused me to believe it was a dirty fuel system initially. Yesterday it went bad...

    Slight shudder/vibration at idle

    I just posted about the same thing (Engine performance sub-forum) happening with my 2017 Hemi. . .that rough idle went on for weeks until today it got much worse and started throwing codes / check engine light (P0307 and P0300). Dealer appointment has been made, but sadly they're backlogged for...

    2017 1500, 5.7L, 22,000 miles P0307, P0300, check engine light on

    In recent weeks I noticed that the idle was a little rough at times, but the truck seemed to drive OK and engine roughness wasn't noticed while driving it and at that point it showed no codes stored in the computer. I put fuel system cleaner in one tank of fuel with no improvement...

    Thud when taking off from stop

    If your gas tank is half (or less) full, the gas sloshing in the tank can cause a thud. Fill your tank up and see if you still notice it.

    Strength of fan

    Check your cabin air filter. . . one thing I noticed when I recently changed to one of the Fram Fresh Breeze filters was that it was more restrictive than the stock OEM filter. Replace your filter with OEM or similar if it hasn't been done recently.

    Booming/Vibration/Drone at Low RPM - '17 Ram 1500 Hemi

    I have a '17 Crew Cab 5.7L and know exactly what you're saying. I think that when MDS kicks in at low RPMs that's just gonna be what it sounds like. Personally, I don't think it's bothersome--I don't spend much time in that power realm anyway.

    Intermittent Cruise Control Button Panel Not Working

    There's a FCA technical service bulletin for the cruise control issue (a common known issue, the service adviser should know about it.)--I had the same problem and they covered the repair under warranty, but my truck is a 2017 and still under warranty. They didn't replace my button panel, but...

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    Went from PA to Maine and back. . . visited family and friends, put about 1500 miles on. Changed the oil / filter when I returned. This truck is SO comfortable on a road-trip--my wife loves it!

    Synthetic Oil

    That's some good food for thought. What I was thinking was that the engine stops at a random non-optimum position for one of the lifters and that lifter is allowed to bleed out. That sort of issue would occur quite sporadically and probably rarely as well. I don't rev my engine at all, unless...

    Synthetic Oil

    Hi guys. . . it's been awhile since I've looked at this thread--I have some catching up to do. I'd PM'd Burla on another forum with a question, which I'll post here to see if anyone else with newer trucks have experienced this issue: I run PP 5w-20 in my hemi (it only has 6500 miles at this...

    What does RAM mean to you? Why did you buy a RAM?

    I owned a used '87 Ram D150 back in the late 90s when I was just starting my family. It had a 318 CI engine with over 100,000 miles on it when I bought it. I used that truck for a second vehicle for several years and made a lot of memories with it. . .going to the dump on weekends with my...

    Large Recall for Cruise Control

    FYI. . .I just had the U05 campaign done today--it took over 3 hours on my 2017 Ram 1500 Big Horn 5.7L (has 8.4 w/ nav). The tech told me that the campaign was only software updates and can take as little as 30 minutes or three hours, depending on installed equipment / VIN. My invoice stated...

    How do I wake dodge/ram up to fix it?

    I'd get an inexpensive carbon monoxide detector, put it in your truck and start it (the truck). If the detector goes off, park the truck--don't drive it. If FCA is unresponsive, get a lawyer--it should be a slam-dunk lemon law case.
