2019 Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs)

[dreinert]

Anyone have a list of TSBs available for the 2019 Ram?

I found these but there must be others. It's my first time with a Ram so I don't know whats actually normal or unusual and I'd hate going to the dealer everytime I "feel" like there's an issue or something that could be improved.

Apparently for the HK stereo (maybe only 12"). It atleast makes the sound louder.

There was a guy keeping a very nice detailed list of the TSB's that came out for the 2019's. It is difficult to find and I am going in for service next week so I am looking for it. If you keep poking around you will find it. I HOPE.

Here is a list I found on another 5th gen ram forum site. Look that up (hint hint)

Tsb’s listed in previous post above.

Anyone have a list of TSBs available for the 2019 Ram?

I found these but there must be others. It's my first time with a Ram so I don't know whats actually normal or unusual and I'd hate going to the dealer everytime I "feel" like there's an issue or something that could be improved.

Its would be nice to have all the TSB in one place. I currenlty have a few issues with my new 2019

Wondering if anyone has experienced a rear end growling/groaning sound with some vibration? The dealer said it was normal and that the cause was the muffler breaking in. However, the noise has gotten louder especially in cold weather. I did see a recall for some trucks that left the factory with insufficient differential fluid. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Have only about 350 miles on my 2019 Laramie Hemi. Today I heard a strange mechanical growling/groaning kind of noise from somewhere in the middle of the truck shortly after parking. Lasted about 3 seconds.

Never heard anything like this from any vehicle... Now waiting to see if it happens again.

My 2019 Rebel 12 does the same thing. I've heard it a few times now. Doesn't do it all the time, though. So no idea what it could be.

Thanks for posting those TSB's! I recently went to change the oil on my 2018 Power Wagon and found it was a quart low, and had puffed blue smoke a couple of times. The dealer said they can't find any traces of oil burning, BS, and then sent me the TSB above on Oil Consumption, so good to see the details. Seems 1 quart every 2000 miles is ridiculous. I might as well just carry a case of oil with me. At $10/quart too it'll be hard justifying driving this thing soon. Anyone had luck getting this fixed and have suggestions?

 

[stealthprospector]

Does anyone know of any TSB's for sound system issues on 2020 models? The HK system in my 2500 sounds weak and the dealership is saying the above has already been implemented?

What Issues Are you Having??
I have a 2019

Hi I'm unsure if this is the same as you're hearing/experiencing, my 18 RAM 1500 Longhorn has a weird mechanical groaning sound in the cabin area with truck turned OFF & it is intermittent but continuous! From in the passenger side front door inside I hear this (I have bad ears but I can't hear from the outside of the truck). When I asked the dealership about it I got shrugs.
