Anybody Have Any Issues with the new HD's yet?

[Deleted member 80]

Since they did the air suspension RRT, I swear the truck is harsher in the back, plus lately I have noticed my left mud flap dragging on curbs when I back into the same parking spots as before, where it never did before. Got home and measured the ride height to find over an inch difference left to right.

Here is a new one. Tried to get On my truck wifi(I have a 2 year plan) and it says wrong password. I always use it and know it’s correct. For giggles I tried to change that or the access point name and it won’t let me. Truck running or not. Cycled it on and off a few times as well. Next I guess is the old disconnect batteries trick or I’ll add to my list for the dealer this week with my air suspension RRT.
I feel a software update needed for this crap and AC fix.

went in for my first oil change .... 4,700 miles and the trk has not missed a beat .... 35 miles to the dealer and talked to the service manager ... service tech went out to bring it in for the oil change, would not start, service manager went out to bring it in, would not start, they called me out to start the trk and it would turn over but acted like it was not getting gas and would not start, i tried it 3 times ... GREAT timing, it happened for the first time AT the dealer for them ..... the salesman i got it from went out to try and start it and it STARTED .... they gave me a loaner jeep and i went on my way ..... 7 hrs later i called to check on it and the service manager said it did NOT throw any codes and they could NOT figure out what was wrong, he checked all the TSBs and Star cases and found nothing like this happening before ..... so, i picked up my trk and am now waiting for the next shoe to drop

Sorry you guys are having a hard time.

Not good. I hope they get this squared away for you quickly.

Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone has had any issues yet with their new HDs? I'm close to ordering mine and I'm little hesitant being its the first year, even though I know it isn't completely all new.

2,000 miles and I’ve got leaking cab lights. Water dripping from a-plier handle and the sun visor screw holes. Dealer said the first cab light on drivers side was leaking. Replaced every cab light about a month ago. Started leaking in the same spot last week again, have an appointment tomorrow to get it diagnosed again. It only leaks when I wash it at a car wash, Have been in some heavy rains and no leak. So yeah I’ve got a problem

Read through all 14 pages and didn't see anything where anyone had had a resolution to the knocking noise from the driver's side rear cab area. Did anyone get theirs repaired and what was found. Thanks. Don't want to have to take to dealer if I can help it.

Pretty irritating, doesn't happen all the time.
Wish I knew what it is.

another thought after re-reading a thread ... Car Thieves key fob hack on another ram forum ...... what IF the service tech picked up the WRONG key fob from the rack and went out to my trk to bring it in, trk sent signal and fob did NOT respond with the right code, so the trk would turn over but NOT start, service manager took the fob from service tech and tried to start my trk with same results, got me and handed me the fob with the same results .... took fob and hung it on the rack ... salesman goes to rack and gets MY key fob from the group hanging there and my trk starts .... dealer could not find anything wrong ..... i have the trk back and it has started with no problems at least 2 dozen times ..... just thinking .......

If it sees the wrong fob it shouldn't even crank and should give an error about the key being missing

Anyone with the 6.4 have a chirping squeaking sound (reminds me of a bad belt)? Sound emanates from engine bay and louder underneath the drivers side of the truck. Dealer says no noise even though I stood with the service manager and heard it. He says to me no abnormal sounds from the truck.

will test out your theory with my wife's 1500 fob ... more to come

 

[slimchance]

unlocked my trk from the house (150' away) .... took wife's fob out to my trk and pushed the button to start... it said "No key fob present" ... there goes that hope

My Power Wagon does the same, but I am also bring it in next week for what I know is a exhaust leak at what sounds like from the manifold.

So, I'm at 2000 miles on my Limited and here are the few minor issues ive noticed.....
1. When I first start the truck, the a/c blows lukewarm air for about 3-4 min and then stays cold.
2. My backup sensors go off every time I back up when there is no object behind me.
3. My wiper blades shake when going across the windshield, almost like too much pressure on them or they're the wrong blade, im not sure, never seen this before.
4. when talking on my phone via bluetooth, after about 20 min, the person im talking to can no longer hear me. This has happened multiple times and does not happen in my Toyota Camry when using the bluetooth in there.

Your backup sensors will go off continuously after you install a hitch.... I learned that one...but can turn off.

Yup. A low profile hitch like for a small boat will clear them but a big RV hitch like an Equalizer will make them alarm.

I'm guessing that's what it Is, but I put my hitch on at the dealer when I picked the truck up and dont recall them going off. It makes sense though. I believe the sensors are now lower too than on the previous ones.
