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

[Slappnbass]

Fort Worth. Order factory directly.

Please let us know what you find out on the rattle noise. I am about to go over all the bed mounts, etc.. I ordered factory direct out of Austin.

I have around 700 miles on mine. There are two main things that are noticeably annoying at this point. First, when going over bumps, speed bumps, uneven roads, anything that shakes the bed, there is a rattle in rear driver side that I cannot figure out. Sounds like the bed is loose on that side maybe. Second thing is the shifting...third gear is POS. I've noticed if I baby the throttle pedal it shifts pretty smooth, but if you need to "hit" it or are a little heavy on the pedal, it shifts rough into third, and then 4th is obvious the torque converter locks in. 68RFE still has downshift problems also in traffic...not as bad as previous years, but still noticable.

This is what I noticed on mine.

I assume the shifting problem is limited to the 68RFE Transmission. I am not having that problem with the Aisin.

I would think so. Never felt it in my powerstroke/aisin.

Other than the lack of advertised features not being included with any vehicle being built yet (TTPMS and AUX camera), nothing major. I've had a bunch of Q/A issues I'm working with dealer to resolve, but nearly all minor and I'm still in love with mine.

Same here

So I own the 2019 HO Cummins in a limited mega cab with the Aisin tranny and the new 2019 6.7 Cummins with the "upgraded" 68RFE in a big horn (work truck) . This is what I have found. Both have about 1200km on them. I really like the power in the new 6.7 (non HO) I feel they really did a good job with the 68RFE tuning. I have not towed with that one yet and am totally all around impressed. I do not have any serious shifting issues that I have noticed yet. As far as the HO Cummins goes it's amazing and absolutely love the power this is my leisure and 9000 lb. trailer tower. I have found it to be a bit sluggish compared to the 68RFE in first and sometimes second gear but after that there is absolutely no holding it back. I love both Engines so far and as soon as I tow in the new 68RFE I will update. But the HO pulls like a dream. Both trucks are awesome and have NO complaints at all.

I've got the Bump rattle noise too...driving me nuts...330 miles
Monday I'll be at the dealer, they'll put it on a rack and I'll inspect it myself.
They know me too well to put up with that...no dirty garage hand will be climbing around my PW.

Has anyone run with the tailgate off or even down to see if the rattle goes away?

 

[texas.yankee]

It's too close to the cab to be the tailgate. It's either in the floor section of the rear seat, or just under the rear section of the cab. Does everyone with the rattle have the Mega Cab?

I might have the rattle you guys are describing too. It sounds like it's coming from the driver side rear seat or a little further back. If anyone figures out what it is we should start a separate topic so it's easy to find on the forum. Mine is a megacab BTW.

In curious why I wasn’t included in this.

I’d love to talk about dealership issues.
Hell, I’ll provide you with pictures.

Also...I'll add...this 12" isn't all that, no difference from 2d to 3d selection in Nav. Not worth the money.
My Sat radio wasn't working...
Learned the Front tires weren't balanced properly from the Factory. Vibration while driving....smh

The Harmon Kardon system has very little base when the base if up all the way. Hopefully there is an update for that.

It will have even less when I remove that sub hogging half the storage.

There is...its called a 10 in woofer, box and amp.

I took my single Apline Type S 10", Alpine MRP-M500, and box out of my 13 1500 Laramie when I traded it in for my beast. I thought the HK system was going to sound a lot better than what it did from the factory and was sadly disappointed. Swapped the HK 8" factory sub for the Alpine and it makes a WORLD of difference. Besides the sub swap, I LOVE my new truck. Tows my boat and trailers a lot better than the 5.7 5 speed 1500 did.

I think there was a flash with the 1500s that fixed the lack of base, hopefully we can do the same. Anyone know?

2019 ram 2500 mega cab with Cummins, driver side rambox adhesive is coming off so the colored panel is de-laminating. Based on some googling, I guess this is/was a common problem in previous year rams and most common on black trucks. My truck is also black.

I will be contacting my local dealer this week to get it fixed.

You actually use the built in NAV? Android Auto/Car Play are far superior... I got the 12" screen the 12" screen.. not the crappy baked in NAV.
