Quality Care for Your Ram Vehicle
In 2009, Chrysler separated Ram from Dodge as a distinct division. Ram continues to produce a full range of pickup trucks, work trucks, and cargo vans, including popular models like the RAM 1500. These vehicles are highly rated for their solid performance and dependability. Ram vehicles, particularly those under the Ram Trucks brand (formerly Dodge Ram), are popular for their durability and capability. However, like any vehicle, they have some common issues that vary by model.
Service Details
If you own a Ram 2500, you may experience transmission and drivetrain issues with your vehicle. The 6.7L Cummins diesel transmission has common problems that need to be addressed promptly. The heavy-duty transmission combined with the Cummins diesel engine can lead to torque converter failures and hard shifting, especially during heavy towing. Additionally, some Ram 2500 owners have reported driveshaft issues such as vibrations or U-joint failures. It is crucial to keep up with any vehicle maintenance, and we encourage you to contact us as soon as you notice any issue so it doesn’t become a bigger problem.
Suspension Issue
Suspension problems and engine issues can occur in Ram 1500 models, such as Air Suspension Failures. Ram 1500 models equipped with air suspension can experience issues with the system failing, leading to an uneven ride height or suspension collapse. There’s also a common issue called the Hemi Tick – some Ram 1500s with the 5.7L Hemi engine develop a ticking noise, often attributed to lifters or exhaust manifold issues. EcoDiesel Problems can also happen, specifically in the Models with the 3.0L EcoDiesel engine. Owners of these trucks have reported issues like excessive oil consumption, EGR cooler failure, and turbocharger problems.
To reduce repair time and costs, it’s crucial to pay attention to the warning indicators on your Ram. These indicators are designed to help you identify and address minor issues before they escalate into major problems. Besides warning lights, it’s essential to pay attention to how your Ram operates during daily drives. Keep in mind that simple and relatively affordable services like fluid checks or flushes can help extend the life of your Ram, ensuring your investment lasts for years to come. If you notice anything unusual, it’s best to address it promptly, as most mechanical problems tend to worsen over time.
