I lost a coolant hose/connection. Radiator fluid was all over my engine and driveway. We put distilled water in it to move it and could see the leak coming from back side of supercharger near firewall. Also included pics of my truck so you know my story is real. Dealer is telling me not to move it.

Good thing you took the pics so these other guys believe you. They probably still don’t believe you cause there’s no pictures of the smoke or cold air coming out if your vents while the heat was on

Shes a runner! Gotta laugh at this shit. Luckly I have a couple spare vehicles so i will be patient with dealer. My first 25 mins with the truck were amazing.

Thanks for sharing pictures. That's crazy. Good thing you didn't buy from very far away. They better clean that entire engine bay up after this one. BTW love the power steps on it. I plan on doing that. If you don't mind me asking, how much did that run installed. Trying to collect the numbers from a few of the people who did it to know what the best price is. Also kudos for having a positive attitude about it all.

I just picked up my TRX tonight and drove about 30 miles home. About 5 miles from home Hit the throttle at 75 percent just once. After that my heat stopped working, only cold air blowing and motor fan sounded like it was running overtime. When i pulled up there was light smoke coming from engine. It smoked for a good 10 mins. Did i damage it or just breakin? Kinda nervous on this one

Omfg!!!!
@RamCares please contact this guy.
And maybe fire EVERYONE who is building them before you go bankrupt with warranty claims

Millertime · Feb 5, 2021

I paid 2900 for the power steps installed at dealer. Definitely not the best deal in town.

Did you check to see if the shitter was full?
Apparently that’s a common problem

Lol
I’m not that far , thing still hauls ass and has not given me a problem besides some chirps . I’m sure ram will not leave us high and dry on the issues. May take more time while more are being built and delivered .

Are you sure that smoke wasn’t coming off the tires? LOL

Yo MillerTime -- did that dealership add the AMP steps on your Rex?

given the incident, its kinda ironic that one of your pics is right under the "pre-owned" sign at the dealership.....

It's more of a support group at this point isn't it?

I vote we start scheduling weekly video calls where we drink and talk about where the TRX hurt us
