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

I love the fact that you pulled it out of the lot and went hammer down. Screw that break in period, this thing wants to run. I am right there with you. I hope my dealership has a ramp for me to jump the truck on the way out.

Same.... I haven't been abusing my truck but I'm not waiting 500 miles to put the hammer down. The hell am i going to do for 500 miles. So far so good.

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.

You guys are breaking in the Ram service technicians for the rest of us they should all be pros by the end of 2021 on the ram TRX and how to fix it

Dealer offered me a mini van for a loaner. I told them to keep it. Gonna drive this beauty around till its fixed.

How did they get the steps to show up on the screen?

Millertime · Feb 6, 2021

not sure but I know some of the other TRX guys have had issues with it so I wanted to verify I had it. Probably just had to flash the software...

I had a Scout in the mid 80s. Naturally it had white wagon wheels. Would love to have it now.
Good luck to you.

My truck has not smoked, squealed , leaked anything , gets unlimited milage , pretty much perfect in every way.
Oh except it will probably never get built .
