RAM RHO Transmission Issue

[itsmekylep]

It is crazy but absolutely not surprising as the technicians now have absolutely ZERO ability (or authorization - likely both) of doing any actual troubleshooting

My truck sat at the dealer for a month with 500 miles on it because THEY installed my Mopar power running board incorrectly which blinked my odometer and made my driver's door lock inoperable. It took them a month to nearly completely rebuild my driver's door (harness, bracket, locking module, and something else I have forgotten).

I had to send an email to the GM and the Service Manager begging them to look at the install of the running boards because my SA would not listen to me.

30 second fix

That’s the worst. It sucks going to the service desk and saying “I saw on the forum” but there’s a lot of good info out there and they just don’t want to hear it. Myself included when I was a service manager.

I'm looking at the diagrams of the ride height sensors and I cant help but wonder if we could come up with a way to replace the arm/rod that goes from the senor to the control arm with an adjustable rod that we could extend so that the sensor would think the truck was back to its factory ride height.

something like this?

I’d be willing to buy and try anything.

This is the closest thing I could find on eBay. Very generic, Chinese junk. But for $80 I’ll probably just try it to see what happens.

Do it. If you fix it, can you imagine the impact you will have?

I went with these janky things. Won’t be here until the end of the month though.

Can anyone with access to a real parts diagram Confirm the P/N and description of the sensor attached to the A-arm on these trucks? The shitty version I found is too hard to tell. One is labeled ride height sensor and one is labeled active dampening sensor. Which is which?

Are ours not adjustable? I can’t tell and too lazy to go look. Lol

They almost look like they are adjustable, unfortunately I won’t be with my truck for another week or I’d check.

I don’t think they are, unless the jamb nuts are under the rubber boot. I’d have to take a closer look tomorrow. Question I have is, someone told me the ride height sensor only adjusts the headlights. I can’t confirm or deny that. So I’m wondering where the “active dampener” sensor is that’s listed in the same parts diagram. I might just unbolt the sensor this weekend and move it and see if the headlights move.

Sorry for coming in late but I also have the same issue.(truck falls on its face coming out of 1st gear with WOT). Here’s the interesting part….

Yes I have the 2” foutz level kit on it. But…

I CANT confirm that this issue was present BEFORE I had the lift installed.

I have not made attempts to fix it after reading about all of the nightmares people have gone through (THANK YOU everyone who posts so guys like me can benefit from your experience).

I am happy to add my name to a list if anyone is putting Goethe’s something to submit for common issue.

Please keep the channel updated on what the best fix is for this thus far. I was SO excited to get this truck I saved for and haven’t even been able to activate the launch yet after 3000 miles

Shifting issues at WOT.

Poll time for leveled or lifted trucks. I hate to beat this issue like a dead horse, but I’m trying to get as much info as possible.
