I just saw the pictures. Very sharp looking truck. I'm guessing they didn't mention this at the dealer.

Lol, of course not so I will see in time but other than that I love it and going to and from Las Vegas in the 6.4L hemi was a eye opener. It did it and was able to pull those hills but I was getting about 7 mpg and on the flat I was getting between 8 to 9 mpg.

I wondered how your Vegas trip went. Looks like you've upgraded from a bumper pull to a 5ver. Was that before the Vegas trip? We headed east into Montana around the same time - had fun going over the Continental Divide just east of Butte - Homestake Pass I think it's called. At around 6400 feet that's almost 20% power loss for the Hemi. Didn't have any issues but you could tell it was working harder than normal.

Yes the Vegas trip was awesome we stay at those CG but coming back we stay at the Pony Express RV Resort in Salt Lake City, UT it was great. Yes we did upgrade to a 35' 5th wheel which tow great, the hemi tow it great but in the mountains was getting 7 mpg. I thought that I would get better than that but hey it's all good.

The trip there and back we didn't have any problem what so ever, we got with some of my friends in Vegas, the wife was happy she bought a expense Louis Vuitton Purse. She save up for a few months, I was adding money to her account so she would be able to buy whatever she wanted.

You when we was going to the first CG I though that I seen your setup or someone that had a setup like yours. Well I want to really thank you again because ours first long camping trip went well. So the next time I will be towing my 5th wheel with my diesel and I can't wait.

This recall effects trucks as much as 5 years old! ( 2013- 2017) Thats a long time, so it most likely happens at high milage. On the up side it's FREE cooling system maintenance!

I had my water pump go this summer on a trip and replaced it myself due to the dealers being out 2 weeks. Mine went at 35k and was the seal which weeped through the drip hole.

Still awaiting my reimbursement check, but need to check that the replacement pump is not still under recall.

My dealer doesn't have the data from RAM yet. VIN does not show any recalls due. I was hoping to combine brake controller and TPMS flashes with water pump. Getting really close to 36K

I am around 50,000 miles and no problems so far. I searched for this recall and so far have found no information on the nhtsa website. I plugged in my vin number and nothing is coming up. Will check with my dealer.

Did my water pump recall today. The dealer said mine already has a weep hole so it did not need replacing! I am happy with that. I would rather them not open it up with only 16,500 miles on it. They also did the shifter interlock recall.

Geez, I had one done just before putting her in storage for airbag in Oct. Looks like I have 3 outstanding, water pump, shift lock, and this fire issue. Thanks for posting.

I had a weep hole on my original one and it still failed at 32K. Not catastrophic, but still failed like a normal failure with the fluid pouring out of the hole.

Typical Chrysler, looking at cutting costs. They should just replace them all IMO. This company A or B BS is not the only issue. They fail at an early age for a diesel regardless of manufacturer.

I go in Monday for the recall.

Keep a gallon of 10/150,000 coolant in your kit as it's hard to come by outside a dealer.

Luckily its under warranty until 100k or 5 years. Knowing me, I will probably trade it in by then!

I just finally got the passenger side airbag done on my '07 2 weeks ago. My wife's 2010 has the recall for the shift interlock open now.

I wonder how many recalls the other brands have. My '07 has had 4 or 5 now in the 11 years I've owned it. This is the 3rd one on my wife's I believe.

Just got my '16 Ram back yesterday from dealer. Water pump was replaced. Service advisor told me their dealer had not received parts for brake/transmission shift interlock (#T79) recall. Just remember to set parking brake....

Now if I can just get back my 5er. In for greasy brakes...
