    Oil leak Front Right Fender

    Correct, the local RAM dealer said the warranty would not be honored. However, the dealer I bought it from has agreed to work with me to "warranty" the repair. It's in process, I will update as it progresses. The general message is, at least for Chrysler, the warranty will not be value in the...

    My issues with the 2019 Ram 1500 - respectful concerns.

    Sorry to hear your troubles. They are two thoughts that stood out to me in that but I'm not an expert. Frist, on the tailgate, my understanding is that the tailgates have become much more difficult to open due to a safety recall. So, the push-in to open is by design. It's ridiculous to me if...

    I don't have an electric car, yet...but this is one situation that will no longer be a concern when those days arrive.

    Oil leak Front Right Fender

    It's $8k in parts and $8.5k in labor on the estimate at $170 per hour labor. So, you were right on with the parts estimate. No warranty, it's a Canadian truck. I've got a claim open with the dealer that sold it to me but the RAM dealer doing the diagnosis and estimate is too busy to write up a...

    Is it a Rebel or Sport? Help needed?

    I have the same truck with a few differences (no air suspension). I think of it as closer to a Laramie than a Rebel because it is loaded with options not available on the rebel and is missing the off-road components standard on the rebel in the newer models. I would have purchased a Laramie if I...

    I'll ask more specifically if they see anything with the oil cooler. Out of curiosity, is there some option of a bullet proof oil cooler upgrade for these trucks I should look at?

    Oil leak Front Right Fender

    Got inspection completed by RAM dealer. Quick update is that he has not seen this issue on a HEMI before but has seen in on the V6 eco. Their is oil in every aspect of the cooling system. Not sure how but he suspects piston. Says it needs entire cooling system replaced, heating core and new...

    Oil leak Front Right Fender

    Master cylinder appears to be fine. I did a little test on the weekend. I started the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, no noticeable leaking. Hours later, I drove the truck about 15 minutes down the highway, oil dripping from the front fender area for about 10+ minutes after turning the...

    Yep, the coolant does not look like any I have seen previously. I'm going to bring it to the shop on Tuesday. Will update based on what I learn.

    I'm out working on it now. Oil is low. Air filter is clean, I need to remove the housing on that to get a better look. Couple of pics of the coolant attached. That looks to be full but there is some junk on the dipstick. Not sure if that is worrisome or not right now.

    No updates yet. After I'm done with meetings I will get out later this afternoon (PST) and work on it. I did mop up some of the liquid off the ground on a paper towel to see the color and it's light brown.
