2025 Ram 1500 RHO Order status HO Hurricane problems and updates on Thermostat and water pumps

[@johnnydramafia]

Just bought a new RHO yesterday. Only 50 miles driven but loving it so far! Just uploaded a cold start short to my channel.

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

Awesome! Congrats on the new truck!

[@amullaney97]

After 33,000 miles on my 2025 1500 Laramie with the SO it’s been amazing! Taking delivery of an RHO here soon!

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

That’s awesome! Glad to hear you are enjoying your truck! Had any battery issues or any problems with it?

[@patricksmith7368]

​@@CTECH-REVIEW I think this RHO is super legit. Seems like a great option as an everyday driver with better gas mileage compared to the TRX. Is the TRX awesome? Of course, but not as a daily ride.

[@anthonypalmerio9405]

I have a new 2025 Ram 1500 with the standard SST Hurricane. At 475 miles, I got the misfire with a constant check engine light. The fault occurs at COLD FAST IDLE. My dealer has solved the problem. A full reboot of the PCM and THE IGNITION CONTROL MODULE is the fix. I now have 2,000 miles and 0 problems so far. I told my dealer to spread the word.

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

Glad to hear your dealer figured it out!

[@ScottCarlson-w9g]

18 members on the RHO forum received their RHOs. 6 have reported problems. Most serious issue, injectors staying open melting cats and destroying the engines.

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

Video coming Monday on this topic!

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

As of yesterday mark dodge has sold almost 100 RHOs. They reported two battery issues that’s it so far for them.

[@saradtomlinson764]

Can’t wait to see actual daily driving feedback.

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

Same!!

I have an August 2025 build Rebel with SO Hurricane. Runs great on regular 87 octane TopTier fuel. It seems to have a light throttle surge which is likely something that can be tuned out. The other thing is that it goes into high idle when it's cold obviously but ALSO after it is warmed up and sits for a few minutes. Other than that, seems to run great; MPG on the Rebel is 16-18 highway.

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

Thanks for sharing your experience!

I bought a 2025 Ram Rebel 1500 about 3 weeks ago with the 3.0 SO manufactured in August of this year. I have been enjoying the truck after owning several Power Wagons, HD's, TRX, and other various Mopar products (all with HEMI's). The night before Thanksgiving I came out of a Big Box Store and loaded the truck and got into it, pushed the start button and all the lights came on, no response from the engine. Pushed the start button again and again.... The lights, dash, radio would not turn off. Still no response from the engine. Truck electronics froze along with tailgate. Screen popped up service code of "Service Transmission Continue in D. Do Not Shift or Turn engine off". All while parked and without the engine running. Finally talked with service at the dealer and they were unable to provide a response as there is no info available to them as of yet. Ended up disconnecting both vehicle batteries in hope to reset and get back home as everything was closed already. Reconnected and after a couple of minutes everything reset and started up with the Check Engine Light on the Dash. Vehicle currently has 1,667 highway miles. Unfortunate to say the least. Definitely some gremlins in the electrical and software side. On two other occasions, The theft alarm has randomly gone off, and while sitting in the vehicle idling, the left turn signal started blinking and would not turn off until the vehicle was restarted. We shall see what the dealer has to say when I take it in next week......and definitely praying these issues do not translate to the RHO I have on order....

[@jdub1139]

Very sorry to hear that. Hopefully it’s an easy fix. 🙏

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

wow what in the world, keep us posted on this, I hope your gremlins get resolved! Other than that how do you like truck? Thank you for sharing this info and for watching

[@tomh9470]

Interesting…my RHO has been periodically showing “Blind Spot Monitoring Unavailable, Service Required”. It makes an odd chime, then the message appears on the main IP. It’s fixed itself 4 out of 5 times. One time the problem persisted until I shut the ignition off & re-started. Dealer looking at it this week. Hoping for an easy fix. Bothersome…yes. A deal killer…not yet. As you said, it appears there are some “gremlins in the electrical and software side”.

[@KFederation]

@@CTECH-REVIEW UPDATE: So after being able to recreate the issue several times after, I Attempted to take vehicle to dealer this Saturday but as I pulled out of my driveway the same thing occurred except while the engine was running and in motion. Transmission would not shift out of the current gear, engine cooling fans kicked on at full capacity and vehicle advised to pull over stop and restart. Upon doing so, the same situation occurred and then I had a nice wait to watch my brand new $70k vehicle be placed on a tow truck to be delivered to the dealer as it would not start after trying to reset it multiple times. Pulled up the codes it was shooting. They are as follows U0100: LOST COMMUNICATION WITH ECM/PCM A (C-CAN) P1DAF: COLD START GEAR 5 INCORRECT RATIO U0001: CONTROL MODULE COMMUNICATION BUS A OFF P068A: ECM POWER RELAY LOAD CIRCUIT: (J271), DE-ENERGIZED PERFORMANCE TOO EARLY So I guess we will wait and see what the dealership says......Otherwise the vehicle is quiet, smooth, and powerful. Interior is nice and comfortable although the leather is not as plush as prior years (Rough and stiff) Only dislikes besides it not working so far are the HUMONGOUS tow mirrors which create massive blind spots when turning and wind noise, Fuel economy avg. 15mpg @5200ft elevation, 10mpg while towing 3,000lbs., wi-fi hotspot is gimicky. Hope this helps

[@fugerep]

@@KFederation Hope it gets fixed soon! Thanks for the update!

Ram really screwed up not having a dipstick. The sensor is fine, but the dipstick is an absolute must. Too many cheap plastic parts is what I’m hearing….

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

I’m not to worried about that…yet. Ford has been running plastic intakes for 20 years. Plastic isn’t the problem if designed correctly. From what I am hearing ram built this engine internals to take a beating. Time will tell!

[@isaacjohnson95]

Why are you concerned about the oil stick most people aren't mechanics anyway they barely know how to read it but everything else on the car has gone digital to gas gages tire gage thermostat what is one more thing? most people are just bandwagoners and getting mad because a few people that are stuck in their old ways. As far as I'm concerned I'll get a warranty and if the engine breaks it's not my problem seems like a pretty easy solution because when has

[@nordlandak6853]

@ I don’t care what most people do. Those sensors go out I want to check it myself with dipstick. I also don’t like full digital gauges. My Ram has analog with digital screen between them.

[@simd510]

Sensor is great. When I picked up my car with newly installed engine from the dealer, and when I brought it home it was 4 quarts low. If it had a sensor I would have immediately been notified.

[@RickheadWashington]

@@isaacjohnson95 until your electronic dipstick fails right after the warranty ends...

[@mrlookn4dchewn84]

RHO starting to show up😱 I’m still waiting on my tungsten, ordered since January😔

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

@@mrlookn4dchewn84 yes this is getting out of hand. Hopefully it will show up soon.

[@saradtomlinson764]

Bummer!

[@richardalexander1838]

Date: 11/28/2024. Currently, 288 RHOs nationwide are in transit or being built. FYI

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

That is great to know! People will be excited to get soon!

[@stansuffield4110]

Have a 2025 Rebel with the standard output. Super smooth. Still miss my hemi. But awesome motor. Was thinking about putting the JB4 chip in. Anyone done this yet?

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

Seems like that jb4 tune really wakes these up! I can’t wait to see more tuning done on this engine! Had any problems with yours?

[@robbinstruckinglandclearin786]

Good luck with the first generation engine likely there will be some issues

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

@@robbinstruckinglandclearin786 hopefully it’s not too bad

[@ND-tu7ww]

I’ve got a 23 Durango Hellcat and have the AC expansion valve issue that requires pulling dash out. Been like this for years and Dodge hasn’t fixed it. Although I agree early models are likely to have more issues but older designs don’t guarantee perfection either. IMO buy what you enjoy. Life too short to wait for the latest version of a design.

[@simd510]

It'll be fine. You all stress to much. It's going to be under warranty, if it breaks they can fix it

[@josha4880]

Personal Ram 2025 RHO lease then 200 miles have started misfiring

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

No way! That sucks. Is it fixed now?

[@anthonypalmerio9405]

See my post above.

[@davedempsey2850]

If you decide to hold off and get something else, what are you going to get? I’m getting nervous, have a level 0 ordered.

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

Looking at 2 different HD options….but I still want RHO.

[@chrisjohnston7608]

yeah....uh how exactly are people complaining about the parts/truck if they haven't even delivered any yet

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

[@Drewtownvids98]

We wish the ram rho had a 6.4L hemi v8 at least.

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

I had always wished they would have done a scat pack version of the TRX

[@adamg3911]

I’ve had issues with the oil level sensor malfunctioning on a wagoneer.

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

Thanks for the comment. Is it fixed now? What is it doing?

[@adamg3911]

@ It was a loaner vehicle with low mileage, not sure what happened with it. Turned the vehicle off to fuel up, and after the vehicle turned back on to leave a low oil error popped up on the dash and that I should 1 quart and recheck oil level. It didn’t matter how much oil I added, the fluid level never increased. 4 days later, it fixed itself and the oil level read full. Kinda scary having that happen in the middle of nowhere.

[@misterfignewton4395]

Yea, the Hurricane, like the Ford Ecoboost and current Tundra V6, is a NO from me.

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

I can understand. What is your go to truck now ?

[@spartanj2957]

V8's are coming back from stilantis,ya!! And looks like the Durango too.

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

that would be wild! I think Durango is the last man standing with a V8!

[@spartanj2957]

@CTECH-REVIEW What about the coyote?

[@eddiegilbert6858]

Base Price $83,000 Really

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

Base price is $69.9k plus destination.

I want one of those so bad but Stellantis still doesn't know how to deal with 2019 air ride......

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

I do not know much about the air ride suspension, but I have a few friends that have this on Ram 1500s and it looks pretty slick!

[@patricksmith7368]

ram rho isn't air suspension

[@95mayfield]

I thought I saw one at my dealer but it was a trx for 140k. Lmao.

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

Thats some serious chedder!

[@icare7151]

Ram, like all Stellantis divisions heading into bankruptcy, were ordered by the just fired Stellantis CEO to significantly increase corporate profits by: 1. Switching to the cheapest lowest quality parts, remove essential parts such as engine oil dip sticks, replace superior safer 3 color tail lights with 2 color tail lights, etc. and even going so far as removing exterior metal sections in exterior body panes such in tailgates replaced with cheap plastic inserts that are unsafe in crashes, shake, rattle and can leak water. 2. The fired CEO laid off 40,000 employees at the same time increased assembly output with less workers and relocated key USA assembly plants to Mexico. The net results are unacceptable bad quality assemblies, cheap parts that fail, shake, rattle, leak water and air, etc. 3. The final proverbial “nail in the coffin”, the fired CEO required major unjustifiable MSRP price increases for unacceptable poor quality vehicles on all levels leading to record high dealer inventories at Ram, Jeep, Dodge and Chrysler: No one wants to purchase overpriced garbage 🚮.

Rams strategy. Market the trucks starting price of 72 grand yet only build ones in the mid 80 grand range…. 🤦

[@CTECH-REVIEW]
