Heres the ticket.
Yeah, that recall is clear as mud. There’s very little chance service departments will get it right. This is going to be a cluster you-know-what until February when replacement parts become available, several hundred more Rams have gone up in smoke over the winter, and the instructions get simplified down to “remove the bad relay and replace with the good one”.View attachment 24566
I thought the RTV sealant is only for vehicles built before 01/08/2021 and if Y08 has not been performed. Did the tech just put an RTV sealant on a good relay?
I ended up getting my money back from truck. It’s a joke . Northeast service rep refused to try other relays so I gave up. I reordered yet another truck from another dealerEvery dealer lot truck they get in, they need to remove the relay and test. Once they find a good one, install it on your truck and get you on your way. Let their lot truck sit waiting on parts for their ineptitude.
As Brutal said, the outside of your tires are worn/cupping because there's too much toe in the factory spec. That much toe makes the truck "drive better"... but sacrifices your tires to do it. I'm Thuren'd, on a 2021, and it tracks just fine...Thank you! I’ll check out the thuren specs and take to my usual front end shop. I appreciate the advise!!

In stock? Or just listed for sale?Genos has the ab relay for the grid heater in stock. I think some dealers are milking this for all it’s worth.
What do you mean when you say "milking this for all it’s worth", and why do you say this? What is their motivation?Genos has the ab relay for the grid heater in stock. I think some dealers are milking this for all it’s worth.
How sure are we that AB is really the fix? There isn’t an AC in the works?In stock? Or just listed for sale?

I think they just rev the part number, claim it’s “fixed”, and then do a “mea culpa” later and add it to the recall. It’s how manufacturers kick the can down the road to keep lines going and sales happening.I wouldn’t think anyone would still be selling a recalled relay, but stranger things could happen I guess.
Cheers.
Good points. Seems some ABs are good and others not, hence the testing.I think they just rev the part number, claim it’s “fixed”, and then do a “mea culpa” later and add it to the recall. It’s how manufacturers kick the can down the road to keep lines going and sales happening.
Who knows if AB is a good relay or if there’s an AC coming out in February.
I think someone posted upthread about having an AB relay fail the temperature test. Would be good to confirm that.
