Gremlins got me

So just an update, the starter is seized, so once that is replaced, they will be able to run and diagnose the CEL

I'm having starter issues as well. 250 miles on the truck. CEL is on. Went to dealer and they cleared the code. Popped right back up when the truck did an auto shut off at a stop light. I have been turning the auto shut off off but have an appointment with dealer this Thursday to figure things out.

hopefully it is just the Aux battery or something simple.

Yeah I am hoping its something simple like that. Just hoping it doesnt sit at dealer for days. Other than this small issue I love truck and don't regret getting it at all.

So just an update, the dealership has had the starter since last Friday and it's still not in. I called today and left a message with no response. I did turn in a claim with RAM and the case manager was supposed to call me today. I left a message for him no response. I thought FORD didn't give a crap about their customers. This is pathetic.

RAM dealerships are some of the worst I’ve ever dealt with

So finally got an update. I do have a bad CAT, but also a bad injector that was dumping fuel into the cylinder. Now it's just a wait for the parts. Not sure what the issue with the starter was but it's replaced now and supposedly a blown fuse housing. The wait for parts is going to suck.

You’re lucky your engine wasn’t destroyed.

Make sure they give you a complimentary oil change, because your oil is now pretty much 1/2 gasoline and will not be kind to your engine internals. Hopefully no damage has been done to bearings, rings, or anything critical.

Update on the Ram. It's been over a month since I have driven it. The CAT came in on Monday but the dealership also needed a fuel injection seal kit. Ram has it back ordered till May 16th. They also said they did a dealer search and didn't find one. I called Mark Dodge and talked to Robert. They found one that day and called my dealership to set up the transfer. Mark Dodge and crew are amazing. They have been more helpful then my dealership and Ram. MD you guys rock. I should be getting it back next week.

Was driving into work and engine light came on and the engine started acting like it was missing firing and shaking. So now in a parking lot waiting on a tow truck. 2310 miles. I will keep you all posted as to what the dealership says when I get it there When the tow truck showed up the truck would t even start. I think it is a cat issue. Keep you all posted

Happened to me once. Turned off. Again on and never happened again. But have a ck engine light for catalyst convertor issue.

Ok so after 50 days, I finally got the RHO back. It appears a bad injector loaded the cylinder up with raw gas which got pushed into the CAT and caused it to fail. There were a few parts delayed, but I feel the dealership I took it too delayed working in it since I didn't buy it from them. Twice parts came in and it says a week before they touched it.

Happy to have it back finally and fingers crossed no more issues.
