I purchased a new 2023 Ram 3500 DRW Longbed with 50 gal tank. Ever since I bought it, after it rains, I get the water in fuel filter alert. I have had it in service 4 times now.... and going back in again TODAY. The service guys have been great, but they can't find the issue. They have a star case open, and the engineers can't seem to give them more things to do unless the light is on. The light comes on, then after a while goes off. They DID find water in the fuel filter, and found a cracked fuel filter cap that was replaced. The issue continues to happen (3+ months now). I LOVE this truck, but am ready to file under lemon law. Hoping someone has some helpful suggestions here as I have a lot of money in this puppy... but with water issues, I am VERY worried about long term damage to the intake, engine, and more. I need this fixed, or need RAM to get me a new one. Any suggestions?
To add... I am not getting crappy diesel. I am getting it at different stations (Exxon, Shell, BP, Flying J, etc). Always happens after rain. Today, the engine was bucking when I started driving it. Not a happy RAM owner...and this is ,y 3rd RAM.
