    I am new to the ecodiesel life. I purchased a 2018 Ram 1500 ecodiesel 4x4 at the beginning of January 2022. 90k miles (powertrain warranty is almost up) No check engine lights or anything on dash. I began noticing that the transmission seems to slip, and then hard shift into first/2nd gears...
  4. RAM 1500 Diesel General Discussion
    I got home, put the truck in park and went to turn the truck off. The dashboard said that it was in Park, the Park light was lit up, and then my key wouldn't come out. The dashboard then said that the truck was not in park. I then restarted the truck and shifted through Reverse, Neutral and...
  5. RAM 1500 Diesel General Discussion
    Hi all, can someone tell me in the context of preventing unnecessary idling - which fills the DPF faster than highway driving, or driving with gas pedal engaged - I'd like to know, is it better then, when driving down a canyon road, to down shift and press the gas pedal (even at a higher rpm...

    Please help. I'm currently deployed in the middle east. I had my wife take our 2015 ram 1500 diesel into our local dealership in response to a recall. She mentioned that she had been concerned about the truck accelerating. She just forwarded me the email from the dealership below. I'm not the...
  9. RAM 1500 Diesel Maintenance
    Does anyone know off the top of their head if the dealer changes the transmission fluid when they change the crankshaft position sensor and reluctor plate? I had mine done 10,000ish miles ago when the magnets failed, but it doesn't say on my repair order if they changed the trans fluid. I'm...
  10. RAM 1500 Diesel Transmission

    Truck would not shift out of park, had it towed to dealer, tow truck driver was able to manually release transmission to tow onto flat deck. Dealer said there was no issue and no codes? Has anyone had similar issues? Has less than 20,000 km on truck.
  12. RAM 1500 Diesel Transmission
    I've got about 56000 miles on my 2015 ecodiesel and the transmission is no longer shifting properly. It appears to slip in 3rd or 4th, won't go into 8th, and once it gets into 7th it won't shift below 6th even after stopped, it will go back to normal once I've turned the truck off and on again...
  13. RAM 1500 Diesel Suspension - Chassis
    New guy here. I have a 15 bighorn with some strange issues. I placed my GoPro underneath and found the tail piece of the transfer case to shake violently during takeoff. The truck is at the dealership and has been for weeks. They've replaced the transmission mounts and put two different drive...
  14. RAM 1500 Diesel Mechanical
    My Ram is revving a few hundred RPMs higher between 3rd and 4th gear. This only happens under moderately-aggressive acceleration or when towing. If I a accelerate a little more aggressively, this will not happen. Similarly, if I accelerate so the transmission shifts at around 2050-2100 RPMs...
  15. RAM 1500 Diesel General Discussion
    The latest diesel supplement from Ram's website provides no mileage/time interval for the replacement of the transmission fluid and filter for the Ecodiesel Ram 1500. Is there a recommended interval to have this serviced, or is it a "lifetime" fluid since it is a "sealed" system? TurboDieselPoint
