I had those and the one I have now is the transmission fluid being expelled from the dipstick tube, which may come in contact with ignition sources within the engine compartment and cause a fire without warning. So, this sound serious should I drive it or not.

This last one said: The can result in transmission fluid being expelled from the dipstick tube, which may come in contact with ignition sources within the engine compartment and cause a fire without warning. Transmission Dipstick.

Exactly.

Supposedly this same event can happen with the older trucks. Thing is, there’s a lot more idiot drivers now who don’t monitor temps and don’t care about CELs. Thus, FCA has to do their best to make the truck idiot proof.
This is good to hear, I'm really not towing with it anyway, well, I should say heavy because I traded in out 5th wheel and bought a 2022 Class A motorhome, but I like to have the option if I had to I will have no problem.

@ Krs, I agree, I had to go to the dealership today because they weren't taking my call, but they had to order the parts he said that it might be here in about two months, whattttttt, are you kidding me, it is what it is I guess. The dealer said that what it is, is the dipstick sometime can blow out when it gets too hot and might cause a fire, but he said that he hasn't. heard of any truck causing fire, hmmm, he said that if I just drive around town and not tow where the engine gets too hot, I will be okay.

So here we go again playing the waiting game so I guess I will wait, I mean, what choice do I have, if I were a betting man I would bet that another one will come soon.

I love the truck; I will give it one more change and see I have a good amount of money tie up in this truck I'm not ready to give that up and though I probably can get pretty good of amount for it I'm not ready to start over, I don't tow with it anyway since I traded in my 5th wheel for a motorhome so no worry.

I agree, and I was not happy about any of it! It's not just a case of "thrown" together; its a horrible case of parts by the lowest bidder. Too much crap made in China and nowhere near enough MADE IN AMERICA! My Tundra was built in Texas! I had 2 recalls in 9 years, the floor mats and the intake valve. The only other money I put in that truck in 150,000 miles was regular maintenance, 2 sets of brakes all around (better than average wear IMO), tires, Krown rust prevention every year, cat back Borla exhaust, and a set of leaf springs which was an overload of stone over railway tracks.. aka stupid. I am almost at 150,000 miles on my Ram and I have a rather thick file folder of receipts and work orders. 10 times the Tundra, easily. But what are ya gonna do? I bought a Cummins... unfortunately it came wrapped in a RAM! lol Not saying I don't love my truck, cause I do! I am just really disappointed in the quality. I considered trading in and getting a new truck, but I spent a little too much time on here and I just don't have the energy to trade demons. I KNOW what my truck has and needs... These new ones?..... wow.. just seems like problems out the wah zoo! just MO.
I will Amen to your statement, I hate buying stuff from China it seem like everything you pick up were made in China. Thank you guys for all of your comments I really appreciate all of them.

On my last recall letter, the dealer said that it's quick fix to just bring it in and they will take care of it, and in all in 30 minutes.

He didn't say I should have ask but I figure that it should be in and out, well, for that matter if they just give it to me I can change it out but yeah about two months or so, if I get one more recall I think that I'm going to scream.

Well, good thing, when I went to the dealership today the guy said that he has already work that recall so I was in and out under 5 minutes, now I will probably get another recall letter soon.

Hey, guys, I have to tell you but I have been looking at the 2024 chevy, the night edition and man it do look good they have an all new interior.

Well, guys, sitting here just chilling and low and behold I got another recall email today but they don't have a fit for it, it's a good thing that I don't drive it much now.

Yeah, it is a lot of that my son have a 2022 Big Horn edition and he have some. I went to my bank and ask if I can refinance my truck and all in all she said that my APR is 3.3 percent and today rates have gone up to about 7% APR so I will keep it and just drive it whenever I want to and not worry about it.

Lol, well I took my ram in last week for an oil change and after they were done they told me that I had an oil leak and they don't know were it's coming from, so I had to make an appointment to take it in so they can find out were it's coming from, it's a good thing that it still under warranty.
