| Jul 202135000 mi | If the vehicle sat for many days, in warm (summer) weather, out in the sun, with less than half a tank of gas, it might need an unusual amount of time to prime the fuel system and / or crank (over 5 seconds) before it would successfully run. Hasn't been a problem since I changed up my parking situation so it can be in my garage if it's going to sit a few days. I understand there's an ECU update that would be covered by 8 year / 80k mile emissions warranty that probably would fix this if it ever recurs. | ||
| May 202242000 mi | CEL came on. OBD2 code reader indicated a code for a fuel system small evaporative leak. The next time I refueled I cleaned the gas cap's rubber seal and its interface on the fill neck, cleared the code from the computer and it hasn't reappeared. | ||

| Aug 202140000 miUS $3200 | experienced water in the diesel fuel of my 2017 eco diesel ram.. Dealer suggested station fault. Drop tank, clean tank, fuel lines high pressure pump replaced at dealer suggestion. Truck runs fine after repair. $ months later during a cold spell, The flapper of fill tube would not open while attempting to fuel up. At home found ice preventing flapper from movement. Applied heat gun to melt. when flapper opened found ice at lower section of fill tube. Heat gun with shop vac inside fill tube to prevent water from running into tank. Expressed this to dealer, they had no clear answer. 1 week later we were expecting rain, I folded some paper towels and placed inside fuel door, the next morning paper towels were soaked. The fuel door provides a lousy seal, and the fill tube cap,(which is nothing but a plastic plug insert had water in it. Ram has a poor design here, and 4 months earlier it cost me $3200. Call Customer support, then mopar support, they say nothing they can do without recall or service bulletin. I purchased on amazon a fill tube plug with an oring built on it made of aluminum. It does provide a tight seal for now. Working on a new fuel fill door gasket next. Owners beware of this problem. | ||
