I have a 2023 1500 crew cab Limited 4X4 with the 3.0 eco, the tailpipes are uneven (drivers side is 1" shorter) has anyone else had this problem and if so were you able to get it repaired and how? One dealer tried changing the tips with no change. their next suggestion was maybe the bumper is off and to have the body shop work on it. From my measurements axle to bumper, the bumper is correct. Going to dealers they won't commit to fixing under warranty. Is this a ECO problem only or anyone with the hemi have the same issue? I wonder if @RamCares can advise?

I recommend letting the body shop see what is up. It can be deceiving whether the bumper is aligned correctly. Do that to make sure your basis for what you think is the problem isn't actually a different issue.

Another possibility is whether anyone has messed with the exhaust. When I installed a Carven Muffler on my daughter’s Rebel I found that it was possible to mess up the length of the tail pipes. I was able to get it right but if someone isn’t aware of that when installing an aftermarket muffler it’s easy to mess that up.

Mine’s the same and I’ve seen other Ecodiesels with similar issues. I never asked about it and honestly forget about it when I jump in and drive away.

What's odd is all trucks regardless of the engine use the same mounting points for the exhaust resonators. The EcoD and gassers driver side pipe before the resonators is attached to the Y-pipe and the passenger side attached to the Y.
It appears the gassers get the screw job as the muffler is one piece with the Y-pipe but the Eco-D owners are like "what muffler?"

I was at Knights ram in Elk Grove CA. for a oil change on oct. 23rd, and by chance another eco was in line for service, I have pictures of that truck exhaust tips and they are even. I brought this up to the service rep and there statement was they couldn't do anything for me. these pictures are of my truck.
