My new truck issues

Well, I finally got my new truck! I'm very happy to have it although I've got a couple issues. My tire pressure sensor on the front right went out the first day and I've got the 6.4 chirp/squeak issue that others have had. Took it to the dealer to address the TPMS issue and was told that the warranty people are backed up like 30 days and notified them of the squeak this morning. I'm a little nervous to have stuff cropping up in such quick succession, it really is a nice truck, but kinda thought it wouldn't have any issues at all... Still excited for my first heavy duty.IMG_2603.jpg

Just had a chance to respond to your PM, @jwhorner!

Damn, I like that color! the weirdest thing about the chirp is how abruptly it fades away after a couple of minutes of doing it.

I don't buy that bit about warrant people being backed up a month if other service work is being done on Rams. I could see where that might happen if they have to have certain certifications, but TPMS is well-known and usually straightforward to troubleshoot for your situation. I can't imagine a dealership not having several techs capable. More normally, I would suspect that this means they're trying to schedule more service hours on more lucrative service and restricting warranty work is the outcome. Which is b.s. when you just bought a $60,000+ vehicle from them.
