Does your trailer have brakes? If so, is it possible your gain is a bit high causing the trailer brakes to actually work harder to stop you vs the truck brakes?
Glad to see its just a battery!! My 2014 ram just got its first battery replaced last winter. Crazy how some batteries last so long and some last so little.
Batteries are re-date coded every six months,most will just keep doin till sold. Most dont know but when u buy ur "new battery" it may be several yrs old already..yes they claim to only do it 3 times,however they dont want to lose money soooo...
That dash is playing a lot of music but it’s something ya don’t want to dance too!! 😆 Ya have to love all the safety’s etc. Well for 230 thou miles something will start to go. Take care.
Those jump packs won’t energize the positive clamp until connected and it measures battery voltage. If voltage is below a certain level they don’t send any current. Enable the “override” mode and the positive clamp becomes energized and sends full current regardless of battery voltage.
My 2014 Ram 1500, replaced the battery in 2020 out of caution & the fact that it was going on 6 years old. Never had any electrical or mechanical problems with that truck , the 7 years / 87000 miles that I had it . Traded it in on Lease Return , a 2020 Bighorn Night edition, during the so called " Pandemic " in 2021. Got a Great Trade in price ( $22,500 ) for my 2014, and on the Bighorn - $ 39,500.00 - 27,559 miles. Glad I made the deal back then, because the used trade values have dropped like a Rock & the Automotive World is just crazy these days !
I had same issue with battery but would only run with cables on and would not stay running when removed. New battery and good to go. Had to have lights turned off at dealer. 162k on my 2019.
Love your unwavering commitment to your beautiful RAM! Total respect! My 2018 Tundra has 297,679 miles on it! I did replace the starter at 250k but that's it. Zero CEL and regular maintenance. Starts every time! Happy trucking!

Wow, this is wild. My 2019 Laramie is having the exact same battery problem! I had to have it towed to the shop tonight. This battery is barely a year old too and has a 30 month replacement warranty.
My 2021 Ram Limited battery took a shit on me a little of a year ago at only 5000 miles. We had some very cold Idaho weeks & I went to go home after work & it did a lot of the same things yours is doing with the dash light show, etc. Got a AAA jump & drove it straight to dealer, where I got a free $675 Mopar battery under warranty. I researched it after & bad battery issues are a thing my friend.
LOL 😂, Almost 700 for a battery??? Good thing it was under warranty. My not so bright neighbor bought a used 2018 Chevy suv and the battery went out. Instead of letting me go pick one up , she paid 100 to tow it to the Chevy dealer and they charged her 400 . 2 years later she takes it in for oil change and tire rotation where they suckered her into a brake job and told her the battery was bad even though she had no problems with it. I believe that the person didn't realize that she just got the battery 2 years prior from them and they were trying to cheat her some more. Dealers are cr - - 00 - - KS
@freedomrings1420 My Ram has the Hemi Hybrid E-Torque with a special 48 volt battery behind the rear seat, as well as a big battery under the hood, which was what was replaced. Perhaps being a custom battery designed for that hybrid system is expensive as it is.
Whatever you do with your truck. AWESOME videos man. Really. A regular dude, just like me who bought a RAM, and loves it. I've had much worse. Heck we used to rave about an old beat up trash bucket with dry rotted wheels. 'Put some gas in the carburetor!' We used to work on cars that ran half the miles. Great perspective. Great videos. Well done man.
I had the same issue with my 2020 Limited the day after Christmas. I was able to jump my truck, but only after letting it sit on charger with my battery charger for about 15 minutes. I took it straight to get a new battery. When they replaced the battery, I lost all kinds of functions of the truck. My local dealership was a block from the place I got the battery. They had to clear out 34 DTCs for insufficient voltage to operate features of the truck. And then, everything came back to working. I was told its the trucks way of protecting itself when there isn't enough voltage to protect things like the PCM and ECU. I can't confirm that is true, but that's what it did.
I had to replace my battery (2021 limited), but did not have those symptoms and/or codes. However, when replaced, my infotainment system pretty much reset itself to factory, and i could not control my A/C (blew max hot or max cold, no in between). 24 hours and 200 miles later, everyhting went back to normal. Crazy how we can have the same problem, but different symptoms/after effects. Great videos.
I did the same thing to my dust shield on my Grand Cherokee. That bend happens if you unbolt the tire, and the top falls towards you. The inside of the rim catches the bottom of the shield, and bends it in and up.
Hey buddy. Sorry to hear about your issues. I just found a 2020 Ram Laramie with the Ramboxes AND split tailgate for sale an hour from my house. It has 99k miles and is listed for $36k. I think this is overpriced given the mileage, but the Ramboxes + split tailgate makes it rarer than hen's teeth. What do you think? I don't need a new truck, but darn do I really want a Ram...
About this time last winter i had the same issue, changed the battery and viola! no problem since and i have a 2019 ram 1500 bighorn quad cab rwd, the click with the push button start, i started with 8600 miles and now have 106600 only after sixteen months of ownership, i deliver parts in the west texas area, everything has been fine since
2020 Ram Limited Ecodiesel here. I’ve had similar issues. In my case, it was all battery related. Had same deal with crazy lights etc. I turned it off and had other stuff to do. Came back a few hours later and all was well. This was second time it happened. First time it was the second battery under the seat (used for remote start). Same deal with Xmas tree lights but it all went away after a bit of time.
My 2020 did this exact same thing and it ended up being a bad battery. No clue how a bad battery causes all of that but it has had no issues since replacing it.
I had this issue on my ram 1500 2020 bighorn. It had at least 55K-60K milages , the issue was that my battery was pretty much shut down and I was late to college so I had to fix the damn thing. I pretty much replaced the battery by myself and tried to take it to the dealership and because of that I switched to GMC but wasn’t feeling the brand so I went back to ram and got me a 2023 rebel 4x4 havoc edition and I enjoy this truck the most! Overall the battery wasn’t replaced during my oil changes and wasn’t properly diagnosed from the dealer at all, I noted myself I am going to replace the battery every 50K miles 😂 I just gotta be ready for the long term repairs that’s gonna be needed.
Those regular style worm gear hose clamps aren’t used on cooling systems because they don’t expand and contract so they come off. That’s why the type that are like a spring are used
I believe im having the same issue with my battery on my 2019 Laramie! It is just cycling threw the ignition cycle and if I have my foot on the brake pedal the truck will actually start without me pushing the button. However it does shut off about 10 seconds after it runs
My truck had a bunch of codes too after I had to jump start it and then I had to put a new battery in it everything has been fine since new battery and codes cleared. These trucks are super finicky if they have a bad battery
I had a similar problem this morning. I have a z automotive Tazer DR installed and it fried my truck in -15 degree weather. I removed the tazer dt and everything went back to normal. I had it on my truck for over a year and it started acting up now.
BR549? The Rockabilly Band? I've got their CD somewhere.... I was wondering if you have stop/start system(not e-drive) cuz they have a secondary battery on the Jeeps. Sometimes they'll not start and I always disconnect both to check separately. On real cold days any electrical system on a vehicle can fail. Now I gotta see a e-drive Ram in the cold. Doing some research on a 2019 Long Horn.
I'm sharing my own issue on my 2017, just in case it could help you or someone else with the electrical situation : I'm still investigating on it, but I have similar troubles to yours (no remote start, barely cranks, or not at all). I used AlphaOBD to monitor the codes and P1DF3 showed up, as well as some other codes related to low voltage. Eventhough the battery voltage sensor and voltage sensor are respectively showing 14,56 V and 14,73 V (which should be good), I plugged a multimeter and found out it's overcharging (at almost 18 Volts, to begin with). Cleaned a few grounds in the engine bay and the overcharging dropped to around 16 volts. Sensors are still showing good voltage though. Yet, it seems like my battery (purchased 5 months ago) took a hit and it doesn't provide enough amperage (even after recharging it). Still trying to find the reason why it's overcharging while the sensors are showing normal voltages though (might be another bad ground, who knows).
The struggle is real🤣 I am on my 3rd battery. P1DF3-00-ECU not initialized, could be due to the failing battery. If not, then possible causes are ESM or TCM.
I have a 2023 1500 I bought in June of last year. Its got 4500 miles on it. Yesterday it was shifting really bad and when I got home I found it was dumping tranny fluid all over the drive way. The only thing I can think happened is that a line to the intercooler froze and cracked. Wind chills have been -11 where I live. The dealership has it now and I hope the warranty covers it. These trucks are getting harder to make excuses for man. Especially with how much they cost these days.
Man I've never heard of brake pads going passed 100,000 miles really more like 60 to round 90 thousand miles at the most. Then they need replacement. You must not be braking much at all.well anyway that's awsome. Love the channel and the high mileage ram videos .it really helps us ram guy's out there. Thanks again
Has same starting issue. Starter would randomly draw more than 13 volts and would just click. New starter was installed and haven't run into that issue.
It's the battery. Had the same problem a month ago. You may have a dead cell in your battery. "Tip" To start a vehicle with jumper cables, Don't use cheap jumper cables like the ones you purchase at Walmart, Target or a gas station (Sorry Walmart shoppers). The amperage draw will be to high on cheap cables and cause them to get hot and be less effective in providing the required amperage needed for the starter and electrical systems. You need higher rated cables for jump starting. Lastly, never connect to a dead batteries negative pole, as a rule the vehicle with the dead battery, use the vehicle ground to prevent an explosion from the dead battery. To much of a risk when connecting to battery older than 6 months or more. The vehicle that is providing the jump should be running at least at 1,200 rpms for a minute or more prior to attempting to jump starting a dead vehicle. Just say'n!!
3:20 #TowGuyTv Was that jump box cold like was it outside in the truck noco don't work well cold i have had to wait for my jump pack to heat up and it works flawlessly
Should have bought a ford with a powerstroke. Fords never have batteries go bad. Typical Fiat garbage. 🗑️ (obviously joking as only Ford owners would say this)
I have my 2020 Limited with 65k going into the shop in the next two weeks with The Grind happening from the front set ... I had the rotors and pads on the rear replaced maybe 18 months ago. Time for the front, I guess. If you made it to 230k miles with nothing ... how?? I tow, but not more than a couple of times a month ... i's not a pavement princess, but even so? Can you let me know where you got those mithril brake pads from????
There’s a big plug of wires under the truck on the drivers side. About under the drivers seat on the frame. Unplug it, clean it, dielectric grease it. A lot of times when the dash lights up like a Christmas tree. It’s that plug. Gets moisture and gets dirty. Give it a try. You’ll find it on forums. It’s part of the wiring harness.
I have a quick question if maybe you can do a short about this “problem” 5th gen rams are having but don’t really hear much about its the steering knuckle rubbing on the control arm on full lock if you could just check your truck is also having it it’s just very weird I herd it might be by design?
Hey there, Justin! Just curious, I’ve watched all of the videos on this truck, but I can’t recall if you’ve had an issue with front sway bar links? My truck is an identical twin to yours right down to the ram boxes and the tires, I bought it brand new August 2019 and currently have 95,000 miles on it. I have replaced the sway bar links three times with OEM and they are rattling again. any suggestions for an aftermarket upgrade because I’m at a loss!
Nice. I also bought mine in August of ‘19. I have never touched the sway bar links. They haven’t given me a problem. Have you lifted/leveled yours or is it all stock?
@@MrJustinWheeler all stock. Only upgrades I’ve done are the tires, mopar performance cat back and mopar performance intake. All work done at the dealer due to a lifetime powertrain as long as they service it.
Wanted to get your recommendations on some upgrades. I have a early 2020 Laramie Longhorn. What are the top 5 modifications that you recommend for improvement? Thanks!
@@TruckCentral Which video? Do you have the link to the one(s) you're thinking of? Would you amend your list today based on your experience so far? Thanks.
That CEL code seems to be a ECU failed to start/communicate code. Probably set when the engine died and the start button wouldn’t do anything. I’m a ford guy but we see the same types of codes from super dead batteries - whole bunch of modules failing to start/communicate. If it doesn’t come back soon I’d be pretty confident it’s not transmission related
WATCH THE REAR BRAKES. I was at 115 K miles, mostly highway, and found my rear pads were about 95% gone while I was doing a routine tire rotation. I was as surprised as you to find my front brakes looked like I installed them yesterday. For the first time ever, I actually kept the old pads because they are that good. I did end up replacing brakes all the way around and was equally surprised to learn that how pleased I am with the advance auto parts store brand. The brakes definitely stop the truck better, longevity will now be the question. And FWIW I’m still on my original battery in my 2019, knocking on wood on that one.
That’s a good question, and one I think about often. TBH I can’t make up my mind. I’m absolutely hooked on the RamBoxes, so I’d like to stay in the platform. But I do a lot of towing so I’ve heavily considered a new Chevy 3500. Or maybe just a 3/4 ton power wagon w RamBoxes. We will see where the arrow is pointing as we get closer to replacement time. But this truck still has a lot of miles left in her.
Curious, my 2019 Bighorn only has 82k miles but the codes have been the air dam failure and o2 sensor which always goes off when I drive through the mountains in PA. Still on the original battery. I wonder if a low optioned trucks battery lasts longer?@@MrJustinWheeler
The dust shield on my mustang is literally broken off just hanging on there. The passenger side sheild broke off and is uhhh.... Somewhere... I'm getting new ones.
I had the same issue/CEL when the OEM battery died in my 2019. None of the lights when away after replacing the battery though. Ended up having to take it to the dealer and they reinitaized the ABS module. Been good since.
Those wirm clamps are not the ideal clamp for that application. Heat in the engine bay will make it expand and pressure within the cooling system will push the hose off the tube. Get tension clamps the size of those hoses and throw the worm clamps far, far away.
Go with a AGM battery it will last longer over time and it will supply a strong consistent supply when needed! Cost is about the same long term as dealing with leaded acid batteries
No it won't u better off getting a cheap battery cuz no matter what 2 years is all u go get out a battery in these trucks.. they should have came with 2..
@@MrJustinWheeler Have your received the email for your cybertruck? TFL said they think they were 30-50k in line and they got their email to order their cybertruck. A few have even received their actual truck.
Well luckily all of that was just wear and tear or user error. I’d say bite the bullet. Get the 4in bds lift and it will come with a lot of the front end stuff you need to replace anyway. Get that and some new cv’s and you’re golden
I have a 2019 limited. Recently changed the battery after almost 75k miles and almost 4 years of owning it bought it used with 25k miles with the original battery. It turned the check engine light as well but once I replaced the battery it all went back to normal. Break pads are still really great. Had new tires put on and I took a peep at the break pads when they took the wheels off and they all look still good! My only current problem is the gas pump shutting off every 30seconds in the winter. It goes away during the summer for some reason lol
If yall could help me out i recently bought a 2019 rebel sport, 80k on the dash and already having problems. Everything works besides the truck actually starting, the engine tries to turn over but won’t fully start which made me think it was either the battery or starter, definitely wasn’t the battery so if yall have any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated.
If the battery keeps dying after you put a new one if it ever does in the future it’s gonna be your starter going out my dads ram kept going through battery’s cause his starter was going out he has a 2019 Ram 1500 as well but the big horn level 2 package crew cab 2wd in red with the led package
If you look at the manufacturer of all these batteries you would see that Interstate makes the majority of them. So why spend $300 on a battery when the one from Walmart is made by the same manufacturer for $170. Plus better warranties. Also, these trucks can fit a bigger battery which i do recommend.
PREACH!!! I only use Walmart batteries in all my vehicles! Project Farm I'd a fantastic RUclips channel and tested all the major batteries through a barrage of tests and the Walmart EVERSTARTVCAME OUT ON TOP! They have never let me down!
Interstate Battery. they help maintain your battery, clean your connections , test your battery all for free, even trouble the battery. on my Ram, interstate last a little over 6yrs compare to 4 yrs with todays new TRUCKS, when the battery gets low, all the lights come on
On my 2019 Ram I have been getting a check engine code P0441 that it says evap system. I replaced the evap purge selinoid, and cleared the code. About 2 weeks later the same code came back. Any advice would be appreciated.

It’s starting to feel like the manufacture has access into my vehicles system remotely and is causing these issues deliberately. My 2019 does to same thing every half year to year roughly so I hope it is TRULY over for yourself. IT WONT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR AS WE SPEAK ! Wow this sucks
I paid through the nose for one of those. After 5k miles it died and I got stuck in first. Ended up just getting an oem battery that’s been fine for 20k now. I always had a high opinion of the yellow tops but either I got a dud (likely?) or there’s something incompatible with the truck…maybe something to do with lead acid vs AGM? Shouldn’t make a difference but I don’t know what else to attribute that to.
I have a brand new 2023 Ram and drained the battery --- lots of warning lights and odd behavior after jumping with a battery pack. It settled down but was not great to experience 30 miles from civilization.
This is not the video I wanted to see. I just bought a 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie with more miles than I wanted but the truck is very nice(nicer than anything else iv ever had) although I wanted the trx or a power wagon couldn’t afford either. But happy I gotta V8. Definitely not willing to give up a V8 unless it’s a Cummins.
When reading a caliper you read the number, then say thousands. SO .625 is .625 thousands. Now what do the numbers mean. When that smart dude years ago figured this stuff out he busted an inch into 1000 parts. SO 5/8" is figured out 5 divided by 8 = .625 thousands. 1/2" is 1 divided by 2 = .500 thousands. 3/8" is 3 divided by 8 = .375 thousands. etc.
After driving a 2019 Ram 1500 on my own ,you really become a real car mechatronic and you will know anything about the Car after it. You have to learn so much about Failure Codes etc. that you will become a living libary! Yeah its kind anoying and ruins such a cool.truck. In America perhaps yoz are able to do stuff, but in Europe nobody has ideas about the problems of this Truck.
*On the bright side, if the truck doesn't make it to a million miles, at least the brake pads will* 😂

That was my thought too.
Those regular style worm gear hose clamps aren’t used on cooling systems because they don’t expand and contract so they come off. That’s why the type that are like a spring are used
It's astonishing how much brake pad is left.
I wouldn’t believe it if I wasn’t seeing it for myself.
Both of my trucks are in the garage untilmy RAM stranded me lastweek and it sitting outside where the towtruck left her...😂
Your heading made it look like your truck was going to be HISTORY!
Definitely felt that way while it was happening 😂
My 2019 Ram was flawless, and it was a Hemi Etorque. Low batteries can cause crazy things with the modern tech though no matter what brand it is.
I believe im having the same issue with my battery on my 2019 Laramie! It is just cycling threw the ignition cycle and if I have my foot on the brake pedal the truck will actually start without me pushing the button. However it does shut off about 10 seconds after it runs
My truck had a bunch of codes too after I had to jump start it and then I had to put a new battery in it everything has been fine since new battery and codes cleared. These trucks are super finicky if they have a bad battery
I had a similar problem this morning. I have a z automotive Tazer DR installed and it fried my truck in -15 degree weather. I removed the tazer dt and everything went back to normal. I had it on my truck for over a year and it started acting up now.
BR549? The Rockabilly Band? I've got their CD somewhere.... I was wondering if you have stop/start system(not e-drive) cuz they have a secondary battery on the Jeeps. Sometimes they'll not start and I always disconnect both to check separately. On real cold days any electrical system on a vehicle can fail. Now I gotta see a e-drive Ram in the cold. Doing some research on a 2019 Long Horn.
I'm sharing my own issue on my 2017, just in case it could help you or someone else with the electrical situation : I'm still investigating on it, but I have similar troubles to yours (no remote start, barely cranks, or not at all). I used AlphaOBD to monitor the codes and P1DF3 showed up, as well as some other codes related to low voltage. Eventhough the battery voltage sensor and voltage sensor are respectively showing 14,56 V and 14,73 V (which should be good), I plugged a multimeter and found out it's overcharging (at almost 18 Volts, to begin with). Cleaned a few grounds in the engine bay and the overcharging dropped to around 16 volts. Sensors are still showing good voltage though. Yet, it seems like my battery (purchased 5 months ago) took a hit and it doesn't provide enough amperage (even after recharging it). Still trying to find the reason why it's overcharging while the sensors are showing normal voltages though (might be another bad ground, who knows).
Good jumper cables AND a good ground for the cable (On the truck)
The struggle is real🤣 I am on my 3rd battery. P1DF3-00-ECU not initialized, could be due to the failing battery. If not, then possible causes are ESM or TCM.
I'd put a flat edge on the rotors to see if they are warped
I have a 2023 1500 I bought in June of last year. Its got 4500 miles on it. Yesterday it was shifting really bad and when I got home I found it was dumping tranny fluid all over the drive way. The only thing I can think happened is that a line to the intercooler froze and cracked. Wind chills have been -11 where I live. The dealership has it now and I hope the warranty covers it. These trucks are getting harder to make excuses for man. Especially with how much they cost these days.
Man I've never heard of brake pads going passed 100,000 miles really more like 60 to round 90 thousand miles at the most. Then they need replacement. You must not be braking much at all.well anyway that's awsome. Love the channel and the high mileage ram videos .it really helps us ram guy's out there. Thanks again
My pads and rotors still going strong at 131k miles.
Has same starting issue. Starter would randomly draw more than 13 volts and would just click. New starter was installed and haven't run into that issue.
It's the battery. Had the same problem a month ago. You may have a dead cell in your battery. "Tip" To start a vehicle with jumper cables, Don't use cheap jumper cables like the ones you purchase at Walmart, Target or a gas station (Sorry Walmart shoppers). The amperage draw will be to high on cheap cables and cause them to get hot and be less effective in providing the required amperage needed for the starter and electrical systems. You need higher rated cables for jump starting. Lastly, never connect to a dead batteries negative pole, as a rule the vehicle with the dead battery, use the vehicle ground to prevent an explosion from the dead battery. To much of a risk when connecting to battery older than 6 months or more. The vehicle that is providing the jump should be running at least at 1,200 rpms for a minute or more prior to attempting to jump starting a dead vehicle. Just say'n!!
3:20 #TowGuyTv Was that jump box cold like was it outside in the truck noco don't work well cold i have had to wait for my jump pack to heat up and it works flawlessly
Yep. ICE cold!
Should have bought a ford with a powerstroke. Fords never have batteries go bad. Typical Fiat garbage. 🗑️ (obviously joking as only Ford owners would say this)
You see, I’m not sure if you really are joking… your Mopar to Ford ratio isn’t looking great at the moment 😂
@@TruckCentralMy feelings are officially hurt 😂
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds thanks for not drawing attention to the Ford jump starting the Ram in this video 🤣
You had me in the first half…
Hoping the battery replacement fixed the code issue!
I have my 2020 Limited with 65k going into the shop in the next two weeks with The Grind happening from the front set ... I had the rotors and pads on the rear replaced maybe 18 months ago. Time for the front, I guess. If you made it to 230k miles with nothing ... how?? I tow, but not more than a couple of times a month ... i's not a pavement princess, but even so? Can you let me know where you got those mithril brake pads from????
I'm going to check out a 2019 ram 1500 tomorrow. Had a truck in Texas miss it. Sooo
There’s a big plug of wires under the truck on the drivers side. About under the drivers seat on the frame. Unplug it, clean it, dielectric grease it. A lot of times when the dash lights up like a Christmas tree. It’s that plug. Gets moisture and gets dirty. Give it a try. You’ll find it on forums. It’s part of the wiring harness.
Thinking behind mud flaps v no mud flaps?
I have a quick question if maybe you can do a short about this “problem” 5th gen rams are having but don’t really hear much about its the steering knuckle rubbing on the control arm on full lock if you could just check your truck is also having it it’s just very weird I herd it might be by design?
Yeah mine does the same. Been doing it since day 1. Hasn’t seemed to be a serious problem. But unsure whether it’s by design or not.
I can confirm they all do this had a 2020 that did it. My 2024 does it. And a 2023 I looked at did it. It's actually an oversteer stop by design.
Crazy how long the brakes have lasted.
Hey there, Justin! Just curious, I’ve watched all of the videos on this truck, but I can’t recall if you’ve had an issue with front sway bar links? My truck is an identical twin to yours right down to the ram boxes and the tires, I bought it brand new August 2019 and currently have 95,000 miles on it. I have replaced the sway bar links three times with OEM and they are rattling again. any suggestions for an aftermarket upgrade because I’m at a loss!
Nice. I also bought mine in August of ‘19. I have never touched the sway bar links. They haven’t given me a problem. Have you lifted/leveled yours or is it all stock?
@@MrJustinWheeler all stock. Only upgrades I’ve done are the tires, mopar performance cat back and mopar performance intake. All work done at the dealer due to a lifetime powertrain as long as they service it.
@@jonthompson6616 have they checked that the sway bar itself isn’t defective and putting the links in a bind?
@@MrJustinWheeler not to my knowledge. I’ll suggest that next time it goes in. Thanks brother! Keep the videos coming!
Can I suggest getting a topdon scanner they have one for under 100 smackers. Could help,just saying.
Wanted to get your recommendations on some upgrades. I have a early 2020 Laramie Longhorn. What are the top 5 modifications that you recommend for improvement? Thanks!
Made an entire video about this
@@TruckCentral Which video? Do you have the link to the one(s) you're thinking of? Would you amend your list today based on your experience so far? Thanks.
That CEL code seems to be a ECU failed to start/communicate code. Probably set when the engine died and the start button wouldn’t do anything. I’m a ford guy but we see the same types of codes from super dead batteries - whole bunch of modules failing to start/communicate. If it doesn’t come back soon I’d be pretty confident it’s not transmission related
WATCH THE REAR BRAKES. I was at 115 K miles, mostly highway, and found my rear pads were about 95% gone while I was doing a routine tire rotation. I was as surprised as you to find my front brakes looked like I installed them yesterday. For the first time ever, I actually kept the old pads because they are that good. I did end up replacing brakes all the way around and was equally surprised to learn that how pleased I am with the advance auto parts store brand. The brakes definitely stop the truck better, longevity will now be the question. And FWIW I’m still on my original battery in my 2019, knocking on wood on that one.
If you had to get a new truck tomorrow, what would it be?
That’s a good question, and one I think about often. TBH I can’t make up my mind. I’m absolutely hooked on the RamBoxes, so I’d like to stay in the platform. But I do a lot of towing so I’ve heavily considered a new Chevy 3500. Or maybe just a 3/4 ton power wagon w RamBoxes. We will see where the arrow is pointing as we get closer to replacement time. But this truck still has a lot of miles left in her.
Curious, my 2019 Bighorn only has 82k miles but the codes have been the air dam failure and o2 sensor which always goes off when I drive through the mountains in PA. Still on the original battery. I wonder if a low optioned trucks battery lasts longer?@@MrJustinWheeler
I love my truck and haven't had any problems
Yeah just a bad battery. How many miles do you get to the tank on the truck?
The dust shield on my mustang is literally broken off just hanging on there. The passenger side sheild broke off and is uhhh.... Somewhere... I'm getting new ones.
I had the same issue/CEL when the OEM battery died in my 2019. None of the lights when away after replacing the battery though. Ended up having to take it to the dealer and they reinitaized the ABS module. Been good since.
How much did you pay the dealer to reset the module?
@@gustavocervantes60 $160, too much for what they actually did.
Sounds like it would be a good idea to hook up a second battery like they do on diesels
I had the same issue after bad battery. Itll all return after about 10hrs of sitting
Your lucky it's the battery my electronic rack and pinion just went bad and my truck is a 2019 and only 4 years old . And only has 45, 000 miles.
What type of code reader is that?
What's the name of that shop light you're using there?
you need the interstate 850 crank has more power than the regular battery.
Those wirm clamps are not the ideal clamp for that application. Heat in the engine bay will make it expand and pressure within the cooling system will push the hose off the tube. Get tension clamps the size of those hoses and throw the worm clamps far, far away.
How to reset remote wireless key fob, when the engine do not start. What is the problem
Go with a AGM battery it will last longer over time and it will supply a strong consistent supply when needed! Cost is about the same long term as dealing with leaded acid batteries
No it won't u better off getting a cheap battery cuz no matter what 2 years is all u go get out a battery in these trucks.. they should have came with 2..
I went AGM for my 2019 Ram and 8 months later I’m having battery issues again. Theres something about these trucks that cause bad cells
Also you can disconnect the power for about 15 minutes and it will reset the codes itself.
My 2007 dodge charger rt is super sensitive to a bad battery. Wouldnt accelerate.
Let’s see you mile out a new tundra now and see how it stacks up to the ram.
Those new Tundras look nice!
@@MrJustinWheeler
Have your received the email for your cybertruck? TFL said they think they were 30-50k in line and they got their email to order their cybertruck. A few have even received their actual truck.
Well luckily all of that was just wear and tear or user error. I’d say bite the bullet. Get the 4in bds lift and it will come with a lot of the front end stuff you need to replace anyway. Get that and some new cv’s and you’re golden
I have a 2019 limited. Recently changed the battery after almost 75k miles and almost 4 years of owning it bought it used with 25k miles with the original battery. It turned the check engine light as well but once I replaced the battery it all went back to normal. Break pads are still really great. Had new tires put on and I took a peep at the break pads when they took the wheels off and they all look still good! My only current problem is the gas pump shutting off every 30seconds in the winter. It goes away during the summer for some reason lol
I have always had good results with factory brake pads and shoes.....
If yall could help me out i recently bought a 2019 rebel sport, 80k on the dash and already having problems. Everything works besides the truck actually starting, the engine tries to turn over but won’t fully start which made me think it was either the battery or starter, definitely wasn’t the battery so if yall have any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated.
2019 Ram 1500 *NEW PROBLEM* Engine Won't Start | Truck Central

If the battery keeps dying after you put a new one if it ever does in the future it’s gonna be your starter going out my dads ram kept going through battery’s cause his starter was going out he has a 2019 Ram 1500 as well but the big horn level 2 package crew cab 2wd in red with the led package
He has 179,000 still running like new no issues whatsoever
If you look at the manufacturer of all these batteries you would see that Interstate makes the majority of them. So why spend $300 on a battery when the one from Walmart is made by the same manufacturer for $170. Plus better warranties. Also, these trucks can fit a bigger battery which i do recommend.
PREACH!!! I only use Walmart batteries in all my vehicles! Project Farm I'd a fantastic RUclips channel and tested all the major batteries through a barrage of tests and the Walmart EVERSTARTVCAME OUT ON TOP! They have never let me down!
@@gabevillarreal4779 exactly 💯. Project Farm is a great channel for these tests. Everhart for the win!
What size is the bigger battery that fits?
@carlos33193 I put in a AGM H8 battery, with the amount of electronics these trucks have I believe a bigger battery is better.
Interstate Battery.
they help maintain your battery, clean your connections , test your battery all for free, even trouble the battery.
on my Ram, interstate last a little over 6yrs compare to 4 yrs
with todays new TRUCKS, when the battery gets low, all the lights come on
got a link for that light ?
probably got a wire or module failing that bus system all those are connected. There is a connector that is bad about that.
On my 2019 Ram I have been getting a check engine code P0441 that it says evap system. I replaced the evap purge selinoid, and cleared the code. About 2 weeks later the same code came back. Any advice would be appreciated.
Try replacing the gas cap worked on my Dodge Journey and Dodge avenger that had an evap code.
@@Steven91992 Thanks for the advice but it is capless.
@@squid98989898No problem but the capless one's can also leak one time I had to replace one on a F-150 because it was leaking I had to replace the entire fuel neck assembly.
@@Steven91992 i would probably have to replace the whole assembly like you did. I hate to just throw parts at it not knowing. I might just buy a smoke tester to figure it out. Thanks for the help!
my 2017 ram is shit dually diesel. burning wires after bcm. i dont even know what its gonna cost. dealer doesnt want to mess with it. garage i gave it to not responding
I don’t think this man uses his brakes. He just rolls to a stop at all times.
This cold is hard on batteries
Yep. Just had to replace Jaxson’s last night.
Jump your battery is one thing. If the battery is bad you’re not getting enough amps to the system and you can try your electronics
I love my 2019 Laramie but daim these trucks are not meant for extreme rain that's for sure these electrical problems are killing me 😅
What trim level is your truck?
Limited
It’s starting to feel like the manufacture has access into my vehicles system remotely and is causing these issues deliberately. My 2019 does to same thing every half year to year roughly so I hope it is TRULY over for yourself. IT WONT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR AS WE SPEAK ! Wow this sucks
Optima Yellowtop Battery 👍
That’s what I’ll be upgrading to next time.
I paid through the nose for one of those. After 5k miles it died and I got stuck in first. Ended up just getting an oem battery that’s been fine for 20k now. I always had a high opinion of the yellow tops but either I got a dud (likely?) or there’s something incompatible with the truck…maybe something to do with lead acid vs AGM? Shouldn’t make a difference but I don’t know what else to attribute that to.
Sounds like a 2025 ram 1500 with the 3.0 hurricane
I have a brand new 2023 Ram and drained the battery --- lots of warning lights and odd behavior after jumping with a battery pack. It settled down but was not great to experience 30 miles from civilization.
This is not the video I wanted to see. I just bought a 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie with more miles than I wanted but the truck is very nice(nicer than anything else iv ever had) although I wanted the trx or a power wagon couldn’t afford either. But happy I gotta V8. Definitely not willing to give up a V8 unless it’s a Cummins.
Trade that thing in man geeeez!
Time for a TRX🙄
Subarus have the same issue with the dust shield rubbing. Who know why.
When reading a caliper you read the number, then say thousands. SO .625 is .625 thousands. Now what do the numbers mean. When that smart dude years ago figured this stuff out he busted an inch into 1000 parts. SO 5/8" is figured out 5 divided by 8 = .625 thousands. 1/2" is 1 divided by 2 = .500 thousands. 3/8" is 3 divided by 8 = .375 thousands. etc.
After driving a 2019 Ram 1500 on my own ,you really become a real car mechatronic and you will know anything about the Car after it. You have to learn so much about Failure Codes etc. that you will become a living libary! Yeah its kind anoying and ruins such a cool.truck. In America perhaps yoz are able to do stuff, but in Europe nobody has ideas about the problems of this Truck.
You need to get a new battery
Get your multimeter and check your altenator first 😮
Have you thought about flexall products for the boot?
