    Magnaflow Exhausts

    Same concern here... looking to order the 19461 cat-back exhaust for my brand new Big Horn with the V6 3.6L eTorque and I can't find a single tiny video review or sound clip on YouTube or on any of the major RAM's owner forums online... this is a shame because ordering a new exhaust is something...

    RAM Classic 2019 major burnt rubber smell (3+ weeks at the dealer, no fix)

    *JUNE 15th 2020 UPDATE* After 3 months of waiting, here's the conclusion of my case. As per March 6th, 2020, the dealer gave me back my truck, still not fixed because they can't find any solution to the bad burn smell problem. Then they tried to escalate the problem to the highest instance of...

    How to replace uConnect 5.0 with aftermarket 6.5-7.0in CarPlay radio (any brand)

    Thank you for the advise, but unfortunately the PAC RPK4-CH4101 isn't designed to replace the uConnect 5.0. It's only to replace the 8.4c with aftermarket unit (dunno why someone would want to do that) and as for the Metra 99-6527B, it's almost perfect, however it still have a lack of a few...

    T-REX billet grille for the factory 4-section grille?

    I am looking to add a little something cheap and easy to install on my truck to make it look just a bit different from the hundred of other RAM I met on the road each day... I found the T-REX billet overlay for the factory four-sections grille but I can't find any real life pictures of it yet...

    Nop. It's currently under legal procedure, however because of the (obvious) COVID-19 situation, all courthouse are closed for an undetermined time.

    TPMS question regarding tire rotation

    TPMS question regarding tire rotation

    This is EXACTLY my point... maybe I have this issue for the past 12 years on my last 4 vehicle equipped with TPMS, but NEVER taking note of it because it never failed. Then also logically if you rotate TWICE, you put back the wheel at the same place... so if you rotate twice a year, your...

    TPMS question regarding tire rotation

    Well those aftermarket sensor are rated 5/5 and they have the highest reviews, so they probably work fine at some point. A DOA unit is something possible and the three other sensor work perfectly for the past 5 months. According to the professional tire shop I visited, you should never rotate...

    TPMS question regarding tire rotation

    My 2019 RAM Classic is my 3rd recent Chrysler's vehicle, all of them had TPMS sensor, however this is the first time ever I got a broken TPMS sensor so now I am confused... here's my story : On my winter steel wheels, I use some cheap OEM compatible TPMS sensor from Amazon (40$ for 4x) and...

    RAM Classic 2019 major burnt rubber smell (3+ weeks at the dealer, no fix)

    They didn't took apart the exhaust yet (I think), however they perform several cleaning/buffing on the exhaust manifold, cats and mufflers and they inspected them when very hot and there's not trace of smell in this area.

    RAM Classic 2019 major burnt rubber smell (3+ weeks at the dealer, no fix)

    They already replaced the entire (20+ pieces) rad hoses/elbow/etc at the first glance. It did not changed anything. :oops:

    RAM Classic 2019 major burnt rubber smell (3+ weeks at the dealer, no fix)

    Definitely! However I have the 44-45 TC myself, who doesn't have any clutches, it's all gear driven. But as for the other who have the 44-44, obviously that if it's become hot enough to smell burnt rubber, you probably already blown the clutches!

    RAM Classic 2019 major burnt rubber smell (3+ weeks at the dealer, no fix)

    If your RAM is a Sport model or upper model truck and equipped with the 44-44 automatic transfer case (4WD-AUTO), I read many threads about overheated clutches that smell burnt rubber. However in my case I have the 44-45 manual transfer case (4WD-LOCK) and it doesn't have clutches.

    RAM Classic 2019 major burnt rubber smell (3+ weeks at the dealer, no fix)

    I have one, as well. However I can't wait forever that they fix my truck. I own it for 6 months now and it's back and forth to the dealer during the first 2 months, then 5 weeks full time with then.

    RAM Classic 2019 major burnt rubber smell (3+ weeks at the dealer, no fix)

    This is what I done already (consulting a lawyer) and since this dealer sold the vehicle, they are legally bind to make it work as expected in the sales agreement, that would be a bit problematic to pick up the truck and send it somewhere else to fix at this point of the case. I would suspect...

    RAM Classic 2019 major burnt rubber smell (3+ weeks at the dealer, no fix)

    LOL! Of course... Yes every time I ask for "what is the next step... what can we do next?" they always put the blame on FCA technical hotline... "FCA doesn't gives us the solution"... I understand than some specific problem can be hard to diagnose and so, requires some more time to fix...

    RAM Classic 2019 major burnt rubber smell (3+ weeks at the dealer, no fix)

    I agree, but I am done telling them what to test and do to my vehicle. Every last times I tried to give them some lead I found online (here or on other forums/groupes), they almost laugh like "another Facebook's certified mechanic is in the place"....

    RAM Classic 2019 major burnt rubber smell (3+ weeks at the dealer, no fix)

    You are obviously right and I must tell that I see no more real good faith from the dealership in troubleshooting and fixing my truck for a few weeks now. Each time I called them over the past 3 weeks or so, they keep saying "we don't know where the problem is coming from and we don't know how...

    RAM Classic 2019 major burnt rubber smell (3+ weeks at the dealer, no fix)

    In my last thread, I was indicating that my truck is at the dealership for 3 weeks without them to find why the hell this thing is smelling A LOT like burnt rubber. So now the truck is at the dealership for a little over 5 weeks now and two weeks ago, a few days after I posted my last thread...

    RAM Classic 2019 major burnt rubber smell (3+ weeks at the dealer, no fix)

    Good point, however I should clarify that the smell is not only present when the heater is running. It's also noticeable with all the HVAC off and windows open, as it's just a strong burnt rubber smell coming from the engine bay. The fact it's enter into the cab and become very annoying and...

    RAM Classic 2019 major burnt rubber smell (3+ weeks at the dealer, no fix)

    Guys... although I appreciate your feedback on my issue, this discussion about winter tires is completely off-topic with my problem since we have excluded any tire issue. :(

    RAM Classic 2019 major burnt rubber smell (3+ weeks at the dealer, no fix)

    Well, as for the first attempt when they replace the entire cooling system hoses, they did some road test with the truck and they immediately noticed that it doesn't fix issue at all. However the two others times, when they changed transmission fluid and then the tires/wheels, they just closed...
