Crazy the difference from some dealer service departments. Their hands are often tied by Stellantis when it comes to warranty work. They can’t do more than they’re approved to do. The question I have is what’s the point in adding the dye if they’re not using it to trace the leak?? Oil leaks are a pain in the ass to trace and show up in places where it’s not originating from. The dye should be very helpful in tracing the origin.Dealer gave away my loaner as soon as I picked it up on Wednesday within an hour. @RamCares said they would "possibily" cover a 40 dollar a day rental from enterprise" put the cheapest rental is around 90 a day. Dealer is not trying to do anything extra for me, only what @RamCares approves. So I told them I'm not coming out of pocket for a rental and I can't be without a vehicle for another two weeks while they attempt to fix the leaks again. But no one has followed up with me since thursday about getting a loaner or getting my rental approved. So I still have a leaking truck, I'm thinking about a lemon law buyback and try another vehocle, its a shame the truck is great but no one really cares if you spend 20k or 90k, you get the same treatment form Stellantis.
No, I take it in Wednesday. I’ll definitely updateAny update on yours? Did they diagnose and repair?
A few have reported finding the sludge / filmI'm dealing with shitty service work and lingering coolant issues after coolant lines exploded.
Castle Rock Ram sucks, can't change oil properly, lies about service they performed and @RamCares doesn't care. "Has it happened 3 times" - WTF. Engine lines explode, coolant lines, all different issues, so don't bother them..
They basically told me to lemon law the thing instead of entertaining a buy back. Slow response on the forum, then terrible "hands are tied/read my script guy" I talked with today.
So track your repeat visits, ensure you make them document EVERYTHING and then call a lemon law lawyer. RAM will refer to you state attorney, etc, which is BS.
Anyone else ever seen sludge in the coolant (repairing dealer at Castle Rock Ram never flushed lines, overfilled oil, forgot to reset oil indicator, etc.) - where is Bambi (RIP) to bring the hate!

Thanks Rob, just posted over there. Shitty service and @RamCares comments still stand !A few have reported finding the sludge / film
Sludge/oil in coolant reservoir.
Sludge/oil in coolant reservoir. Does anybody have what looks to be oily foam inside the coolant tank?www.ram-trx.comGunk In coolant
Went to empty my catch can today and noticed in box coolant tanks a gunk. Not oil or sludge. Almost looks like mold, I know it’s not though. Anyone else seen anything like it? Wipe some with my finger and it really just feels like mold. It’s not floating freely. Just stick to the sides.www.ram-trx.com
Thanks for sharing your experience, I can't believe that this is the response we receive from @RamCares . I wish I knew this before buying the truck I would probably have waited for something else and rolled the dice on their service centers and customer service. I get that there will always be issues but it's more on how the company handles those issues and treats their customers that means the most to me.I'm dealing with shitty service work and lingering coolant issues after coolant lines exploded.

Mine turned out to be an engine blockAny updates on your oil leaks guys?
That is bullshit. This rental reimbursement for buyers of a halo truck is just ridiculous. Who the fuck at Ram product/mgmt doesn't handle this?? Yes the truck is awesome, but shitty service and customer care is piss poor.I'm still waiting on the dealer to authorize a real rental reimbursement or get me a loaner till I take it back to them but right now they are trying to make me take it to another dealer because there so backed up with cars and low staff to attempt to fix it again I'm so upset but no one really cares its been about two weeks with no one really trying to help me.
I didn't notice any leak around the valve covers. did u take yours in already? I just dropped mine off at my selling dealership. Both my local dealership and Ramcares told me I had to take it back there. The service manager is a complete douche tho, when I first called him to tell him the situation, it went as smooth as possible. told me that it was terrible that my local dealer and ram wanted me to drive all the way back to my selling dealer to fix a problem that the local dealer failed to fix with their attempt. He said to bring it in and he would put me in a loaner. SO I drive over an hour to my selling dealer and when I get there he has no loaner available. Tells me to talk to my case manager about a rental and then I go off on him about him lying to me and wasting my time when he knew he had no loaners to offer and cant even give me an ETA on one to be available. But he eventually calmed me down by saying he could get Hertz across the street to rent me a car for 35/day, which I was still doubtful but he came through. I think he just wanted me to get out of there and stop causing a scene. I'm the most passive person in the world but this situation has brought out the worst in me and no one seems to care.I noticed a tiny spot of oil on my starter months ago when I was under the truck checking stuff out. I wiped it off and it didn’t show again for a very long time. It never dripped onto the garage floor and looked just like some seepage from some part of the engine clinging to the bottom of the starter. The starter is the lowest part of the engine on the passenger side, so oil can manifest somewhere else and end up there. I’ve been doing all sorts of looking around in the engine bay to see if / where there’s a possible leak. Last night I used a super bright light and noticed what appears to be oil on the heat shield of the passenger side manifold just above the starter. I think I may have my leak narrowed down to some seepage coming from the passenger side valve cover. @TRXDAVE did you take a look in this area on your truck? I need to schedule an appointment to get it resolved. Oil level has never been affected and it takes a good 2 months to show a tiny spot on the bottom of the starter.
Oil leaks suck! They travel and show up in areas nowhere near where it originates. They might be right about the source. Hopefully they’ve got you squared away finally. Take a look at the pics on this 21’ Hellcat. Oil was leaking from the cooler lines and it’s all over the starter.Your dealer sounds like the best. I got called today and was told it's leaking from one of the oil cooler lines fittings and still no rear main leak but I'm highly skeptical at this point. I'm just trying to stay calm and go through the process but I think this won't be my last trip. Oh well I'm just trying to stay positive
