11 Common Problems Of A RAM 1500 Gen4 (2009-2018)

[@monadking2761]

Bought new a 2012 with no major problems and only 53,000 miles on it today. Just love the truck.

How's it holding up

Owners of the 15,16 models with 4X4 auto option should be aware that when in 4h or 4L with engine idling or stopped the transfer case disengages, therefore do not rely on your front tires grip to hold your vehicle on a slop. Only your rear wheels will be blocked by transmission parking position and also by your E-Brake. Front wheels will be free. if your rear wheels give way due to snow, ice, or seaweed on a boat ramp and you feel safe because the front wheels are on dry pavement you may encounter a very bad surprise. the vehicle will go. Not what you expect from a 4x4. Shame cause in high trim those are beautiful trucks. This video mentions the transmission as having issues I think the ZF transmission is the most dependable and most intelligent of all, the TCM adapts the tune to the driver behavior, and it steps down gear very well to use engine braking, saving on brake pads etc. Just replace (life) fluid and pan-filter every 60K. Not every Hemi will develop the ticking sound due to cams eaten through. Use 5W30 oil for better lubrification.

I agree with you on the ZF. Very good transmission. Finally they came up with a more reliable transmission. First few gens were not so good. I wouldn’t of purchased a Ram in 2019 if it weren’t for the ZF. I want a good power train and Ram provides this. Hemi and ZF. The rest I can deal with. 👍
