2500 8-cyl Diesel

Vehicle was delivered in late January, 2022. In Mid March, 2022, the Transmission started bypassing at intervals. The dealer could not replicate the problem with no codes available. The vehicle has been in the dealership at least 6 times with no results. Also, on a trip to Colorado, the transmission down shifted on one occasion, that was so loud because of an internal bang. Turned off the vehicle and it reset. This is a recurring problem that needs to be fixed. The Dealership has always been helpful, but Ram will only help through their Star Group. My previous Ram 2500 had the same problem, but also, would not throw a code. It was finally fixed after 4-6 visits and the shifting solenoids were replaced, which worked.

2500

I purchased a brand new RAM 2500 Limited Cummins. Crew Cab, long bed. I heard online on one of the diesel truck forums that the factory was underfilling the differentials. I checked both differentials, and found that the front was at least 3/4 of a quart low on oil, and the rear was about 1/4 of a quart low. This could potentially cause a crash or wheel lockup if the differential were to fail due to being low on oil!
