I have two questions for the forum. I recently bought a 2018 1500 Express and there was no gas cap. I work with a few Ram owners and some say they have one and some say they don’t have a cap. Any thoughts?

Second question is I’m looking to see if my truck comes with a stock automatic start. Some guys say there’s does it with the key fob when pushing the lock button twice. Tried it with no luck. Does the key fob need that funny looking circle arrow?

My 16 has a gas cap, but it should be obvious by looking at it if it has one or not.
Also, if it needs one and doesn't have one you should have a check engine light (or what ever it shows) as it will fail the test.

I don't know for sure but I don't think the Express has remote start - yes you should have the round arrow if it does.

As far as I know only the Ecodiesel models on the 4th gens have the capless fuel system. You would have to move up to the 5th gen for it to be on all models. If you have factory remote start your FOB would have the circle thing with X2 in it. Aftermarket remote start systems are generally the ones whee you hit the lock button twice.

The 18 express does not have remote start by default, as stated above, only if indicated on the remote with the circle. The hardware is mostly there if you wanted to add factory remote start though, or a kit can be added by the dealer for their usual fee of course. Check out the diy pages for adding factory remote start. And yes it should absolutely have a gas cap
