    For those that have purchased extended warranties

    Appreciate all of the replies here. THANKS!! I decided on the 8yr/125K MAXCARE, as it suited my needs the best. Called a few different vendors and requested a copy of their offered contracts. I was surprised that the MOPAR MAXCARE contracts are not all the same. The one I purchased had some...

    For those that have purchased extended warranties

    The 0 deductible moves the cost into the stratosphere for me. The $100 deductible looks about the best. I havent found one yet that covers the DPF and CAT. The maxcare that I was quoted covers rentals if the truck is in the shop. All 8 times my vehicle has been in the shop so far, Stellantis has...

    They are about $1000 cheaper, but can't sell to California. Dang.

    What is the correct battery voltage range?

    Going back to the original problems, truck was in the shop 8 times for electrical issues with steering wheel/instrument cluster control switches inoperable. The last time the truck was in the shop it was because the truck lost electrical power and was dead in the water. Before ANYONE says "you...

    coolant temps too hot while towing, climbing grades.

    My '17 had cooling issues as you describe. Ended up being two issues, one computer, one mechanical. Replaced the radiator for the mechanical issue, made a significant improvement. I also did the chemical flush of the cooling system (MOPAR flush solution), I could not believe the amount of crud...

    For those that have purchased extended warranties

    I have a '24 RAM (see sig line), and considering the extremely high cost of repairs, am considering purchasing the MOPAR/RAM MAXCARE extended warranty. For those that have purchased one, what level of coverage did you get? What were your thoughts on deductible levels vs overall cost of warranty...

    What is the correct battery voltage range?

    '24 3500 SO CTD. Truck has been in the shop now 8 times for electrical issues. Thought this last time they might have fixed the issues. Dash voltage display has started to fluctuate. Mostly indicates 14.2-14.3V running normal on the fwy and around town. Starting to see voltages of 13.6-13.8V...

    Injectors

    I have an Edge CTS and was told it is just a "Reader", and does not affect operation. Why remove it? Legit question, not arguing, just wondering how it would affect other readings or data .

    Dead new truck, far from home!

    Getting some good info from this thread. When I've had to replace the original batts I've had really good luck with Interstate Batts. I've used the premium line of batteries. Something of a head scratcher - Yesterday I unhooked both batteries and let the truck sit overnight so I could measure...

    Dead new truck, far from home!

    Normally I've found the dates on the top of the battery. I cannot find any dates on the batteries the dealer just installed. Where would the dates be stamped? THANKS!!

    I have the same build date. Wonder if they had a bad batch of batteries.

    Dead new truck, far from home!

    I had EXACTLY the same problem. all of the switches in the steering wheel and the module (clock spring), all related wiring and connectors were replaced on my truck. switches would work for about two weeks, then fail again. After the last shop visit, I was told truck was good to go. the service...

    Frequency of lifter failure in CGI 6.7 ?

    That illustrates it pretty well. Never heard of this until now, great to know. Thanks for the input from everyone.
