Most common problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems can develop leaks in the brake lines, master cylinder, or calipers, leading to reduced braking performance.

Brake fade

Overheating of brake components can cause a temporary loss of braking power, particularly during heavy towing or descending steep grades.

Abs malfunctions

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) can fail due to sensor issues or electronic control unit (ECU) failures, causing the ABS warning light to illuminate and reduced braking efficiency.

Engine brake malfunctions

The engine brake may not function correctly if there are issues with the engine control module (ECM) or related sensors, leading to reduced engine braking capability.

Fuel injector problems

Cummins engines, like the one in the RAM 3500, can experience fuel injector issues, leading to poor engine performance and increased emissions.

Turbocharger failures

Turbochargers can fail due to wear and tear or lack of proper maintenance, leading to reduced engine power and efficiency.

Dpf clogging

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) can become clogged over time, causing reduced engine performance and potential damage to the exhaust system.

Egr valve issues

The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve can become stuck or fail, leading to increased emissions and potential engine performance problems.

Transmission problems

The RAM 3500 may experience transmission issues such as slipping, hard shifting, or failure, particularly under heavy load conditions.

Suspension wear

Heavy-duty use can lead to accelerated wear of suspension components, resulting in a rough ride and poor handling.
