Most common problems:

Brake fluid leaks

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

Brake pad and rotor wear

Over time, brake pads and rotors wear down from friction, requiring regular inspection and replacement to maintain effective braking performance.

Abs (anti-lock braking system) issues

The ABS in hydraulic brake systems can develop sensor or module issues, causing the ABS warning light to illuminate and compromising braking safety.

Master cylinder failure

The master cylinder can wear out or fail, leading to a spongy brake pedal feel and reduced braking power.

Brake caliper sticking

Calipers can become stuck due to corrosion or debris, causing uneven brake pad wear and reduced braking efficiency.

Engine misfires

The 6-cylinder engine in the RAM 2500 can experience misfires due to issues like faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors.

Camshaft and lifter problems

The engine may develop camshaft and lifter issues, leading to ticking noises, rough running, and potential engine damage.

Cooling system leaks

The engine's cooling system can develop leaks in hoses, the radiator, or the water pump, leading to overheating issues.

Turbocharger problems (if equipped)

If the engine has a turbocharger (Sales Code: ETK), issues like turbo lag, excessive smoke, or turbo failure can occur due to wear or lack of maintenance.

Exhaust manifold cracks

The exhaust manifold can develop cracks due to thermal stress, leading to exhaust leaks and reduced engine performance.
