2015Ram3500
Junior Member
I just purchased a 2015 Ram 3500 CrewCab 6.4" SRW Bighorn with 6.7 Cummins. I picked it up after it was built specifily for me at the Salitto Mexico Plant on March 14th, 2015...
It now has 1,350 miles on it and is just under 1 month old. I noticed the truck has a burning smell for the first 2 weeks and assumed it was the residue and oils on parts burning off, however Its still faintly there. Now about 1 week ago i noticed that the power steering fluid was below the blue mark they had marked on the reservoir from the factory tech who filled it, and my oil was a TINY bit low. Mentioned it to dealer and he topped it off for me as it was low but we didnt really think anything of it till today.
While under my truck getting ready to undercoat it with undercoating i noticed.... dum dum dum.... The real main seal leaking and the power steering pump seal leaking aka DRIPPING out of the seal where the shaft is for the Pittman arm!
Not its going to be going back into the dealership for its first repair in under a month, Heck some of the accessories i ordered still havnt come in even lol.
Also when ordering i was told and stated on Uconnect there is an onboard vehicle diagnosis feature but when i checked with Ram and Uconnect i was informed that it is NOT in production yet and they dont know when or if it will roll out for the Ram trucks, even though i paid extra for this feature.
Also.. yes little more, this weekend was the first time i got to see my truck clean as being in NY i picked it up on a rainy day and then got dirty, then we had snow etc so just got to watch it and noticed the edge of the driver door just below the handle on edge the reflection was distorted, after cleanign drying and looking at it with the door open you can see the curve of the door skin is bent/warped which distorts the reflection on my nice clean shinny truck. I do NOT want to have it friggen repainted or etc, wish i could just get the door replaced but know they wont do that.
