Other Engine Info

Sales Code: ETK

Problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems rely on brake fluid to function properly, and leaks can lead to a loss of braking power.

Brake fade

Overheating of brake components can cause the brakes to become less effective.

Warped brake rotors

Continuous heavy braking can cause the brake rotors to warp, leading to vibrations and reduced braking efficiency.

Brake pad wear

Brake pads can wear out over time, reducing their effectiveness and potentially damaging the brake rotors.

Engine misfires

Misfiring can be caused by issues with the ignition system, fuel system, or engine control module (ECM).

Excessive oil consumption

Some RAM 2500 vehicles with 6-cylinder engines have been reported to consume more oil than expected.

Turbocharger issues (if equipped)

Problems with the turbocharger can cause a loss of power and poor engine performance.

Exhaust manifold leaks

Leaks in the exhaust manifold can lead to a decrease in engine performance and increased emissions.

Transmission problems

Issues with shifting, slipping, or transmission failure can occur, especially if the transmission is not properly maintained.

Fuel system problems

Clogged fuel injectors or a failing fuel pump can lead to poor engine performance and reduced fuel economy.

Cooling system issues

Problems with the radiator, water pump, or thermostat can cause the engine to overheat.

Electrical system failures

Issues with the battery, alternator, or wiring can lead to starting problems and other electrical issues.

RAM 3500 2015

The 2015 RAM 3500 is a robust pickup truck with a long bed and crew cab configuration. Powered by a 6.7L diesel engine with turbocharging, it delivers strong performance and durability. This 4WD vehicle features dual rear wheels and falls under the Class 3 weight category. Built in Saltillo, Mexico, it offers a reliable and powerful option for heavy-duty tasks.

Other Engine Info

Sales Code: ETK

Problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems rely on brake fluid, which can leak from worn seals, hoses, or connections, leading to reduced braking performance.

Worn brake pads and rotors

Over time, brake pads and rotors wear down and need to be replaced to maintain effective braking.

Brake pedal feels spongy

Air in the hydraulic brake lines can cause the brake pedal to feel spongy or soft, reducing braking efficiency.

Abs warning light

Issues with the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) sensors or modules can trigger warning lights and affect braking performance.

Engine misfires

A V6 engine may experience misfires due to faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors.

Excessive oil consumption

Some 2015 RAM 3500 models have been reported to consume more oil than expected, potentially indicating engine wear or gasket issues.

Turbocharger failure

The Sales Code: ETK indicates a turbocharged engine, which can suffer from turbocharger issues such as bearing failure or boost leaks.

Exhaust manifold cracks

Turbocharged engines can have higher exhaust temperatures, leading to potential cracking of the exhaust manifold over time.

Egr valve issues

The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve can become clogged or fail, affecting engine performance and emissions.

Fuel system problems

Issues such as clogged fuel filters or failing fuel pumps can lead to poor engine performance or stalling.
