Problems:
Brake fluid leak
Hydraulic brake systems rely on brake fluid to transfer force from the brake pedal to the brake pads. A leak in the brake lines, master cylinder, or brake calipers can cause a loss of braking power.
Brake pad wear
Over time, brake pads wear down and need to be replaced. Worn brake pads can reduce braking efficiency and cause damage to brake rotors.
Abs module failure
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) module can fail, leading to loss of ABS functionality and potentially longer stopping distances during hard braking.
Brake rotor warping
Excessive heat or improper torque on lug nuts can cause brake rotors to warp, leading to vibrations when braking.
Master cylinder failure
The master cylinder can develop internal leaks or failures, resulting in a spongy brake pedal or decreased braking performance.
Engine misfire
A six-cylinder engine can experience misfires due to issues with spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors, leading to rough idling and reduced power.
Timing chain wear
Over time, the timing chain can stretch or wear out, leading to engine timing issues and potentially causing engine damage if not addressed.
Fuel system problems
Issues with the fuel pump, fuel filter, or fuel injectors can lead to poor engine performance, hard starting, or stalling.
Exhaust manifold cracks
The exhaust manifold can develop cracks over time, leading to exhaust leaks and reduced engine performance.
Turbocharger failure
If equipped with a turbocharger (Sales Code: ETK indicates turbo diesel), it can fail due to oil starvation, contamination, or wear, resulting in loss of power and increased exhaust smoke.
Egr valve issues
The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve can become clogged or malfunction, leading to poor engine performance and increased emissions.
Dpf clogging
The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) can become clogged over time, causing reduced engine performance and increased exhaust backpressure.
Transmission issues
The RAM 3500 is known for potential transmission problems, including shifting issues, slipping, and overheating.
