The Ram Heavy Duty (also known as the Ram HD) is the 4.5 generation of the Ram Pickup, a series of heavy-duty pickup trucks produced by the Ram Trucks division of Stellantis. Slotted above the Ram 1500, the Heavy Duty trucks range from the Ram 2500 to the Ram 5500. The Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 are offered as pickup trucks, while the Ram 3500 through Ram 5500 are offered as chassis cabs.

Introduced in January 2019 at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan, the current Ram Heavy Duty trucks are based on the Ram 1500 (DT). Ram Heavy-Duty models are produced at Saltillo Truck Assembly in Saltillo, Mexico.

Cab configurations

The Ram Heavy Duty is available in three different configurations: a two-door regular cab with a long bed, a four-door crew cab with either a standard bed or a long bed, or a four-door Mega Cab (a crew cab extended by 11.1 in (280 mm) allowing the rear seats to recline or offering more in-cab storage) with a standard bed.

Common 2014 Ram 5500 problems

The 2014 Ram 5500 has been reported to have several common problems based on complaints from owners. One of the most frequently mentioned issues is related to the fuel system. Several owners have reported problems with the fuel sending unit, which can cause the check engine light to come on and the low fuel icon to appear, even when the tank is not actually empty

Another common problem with the 2014 Ram 5500 is related to the Brake Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) system. This system is designed to prevent the transmission from being shifted out of park without pushing the brake pedal. However, some owners have reported that the BTSI pin can stick in the open position, allowing the transmission to be shifted without pushing the brake pedal or having the key in the ignition. This can increase the risk of an unintended vehicle rollaway, which may result in personal injury or a crash.

The 2014 Ram 5500 has also been reported to have issues with the water pump. The water pump may leak coolant, which can increase the risk of an engine compartment fire. This issue affects vehicles equipped with Cummins 6.7L Turbo Diesel engines that have Concentric-brand water pumps without a vent hole.

In addition to these issues, the 2014 Ram 5500 has been recalled for several other problems. One recall is related to the tire pressure monitor system, which may not provide an accurate warning when the tire pressure is low. This can increase the risk of a crash due to tire failure.

Overall, the 2014 Ram 5500 has several common problems that owners should be aware of. These issues can affect the safety and reliability of the vehicle, and may require costly repairs. It is important for owners to stay up-to-date on recalls and to have any issues addressed promptly by a qualified mechanic.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE PROBLEM

Date Of Incident: 2017-05-30
Fire: 1
VIN: 3C7WRNAL5EG
Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE
Summary: MAY 30, 2017 MY 2014 RAM 5500 DIESEL DUMP TRUCK HAD A FIRE UNDER THE HOOD. THERE WAS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE/MELTING FROM THE FIRE. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW IN APRIL OF 2015 AND IT WAS 'JUST OUT OF WARRANTY" AT JUST OVER 37,000 MILES ON IT. THE SOURCE OF THE DAMAGE WAS DETERMINED TO BE THE DENSO INTERNATIONAL ALTERNATOR. FCA SENT A FIELD INSPECTOR TO THE SERVICE CENTER WHERE THE TRUCK WAS TOWED, AND MY VEHICLE INSURANCE COMPANY ALSO SENT AN INSPECTOR THERE. MY INSURANCE COMPANY WILL COVER MOST OF THE DAMAGES BUT NOT THE ALTERNATOR NOR THE LABOR FOR THE ALTERNATOR AS FCA KNEW OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT THAT PART WAS DEFECTIVE AS RAM HAS RECALLED HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF ALTERNATORS DUE TO SAFETY FIRE HAZARD BUT THEN CONTINUE TO USE THE SAME MANUFACTURER'S DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS IN THEIR VEHICLES. FCA SENT A LETTER REFUSING TO GIVE GOOD WILL AUTHORIZATION, AS WAS PROMISED BY THE CHRYSLER DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM, TO COVER THE DAMAGE AND REPAIRS "BECAUSE IT'S OUT OF ALTERNATOR WARRANTY" - THEY KNEW THAT BEFORE THEY TOWED IT TO THE SERVICE CENTER. THE FEDERAL MAGNUSON-MOSS WARRANTY ACT STATES THAT CONSUMERS HAVE AN IMPLIED WARRANTY BEYOND THE LIMITED WARRANTY FROM MANUFACTURERS. CONSUMERS PURCHASE NEW VEHICLES IN GOOD FAITH THAT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO START ON FIRE DUE TO DEFECTIVE PARTS. THE FACT THAT THE SAME PART, THE ALTERNATOR, HAS HAD ABOUT 900,000 RECALLS IN THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS SHOWS ME THAT THEY KNEW OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT CONTINUING TO USE THE DENSO INTERNATIONAL ALTERNATORS IS A FIRE SAFETY HAZARD AND MY TRUCK SHOULD BE PART OF A RECALL SINCE IT STARTED ON FIRE ORIGINATING FROM THE ALTERNATOR. CONSUMERS DESERVE BETTER! THE VEHICLE HAS A SMELL BUT NO SENSORS CAME ON, THE POWER STEERING STARTED TO ACT UP WHILE DRIVING, I PULLED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND THE VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE. PUT OUT THE FIRE AND PULLED THE ALTERNATOR TO GET THE PART NUMBER TO GIVE TO AUTO PLACE.

Summary: Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2012-2021 RAM 3500, 3500 Cab Chassis, 4500 Cab Chassis, and 5500 Cab Chassis vehicles. Incorrect information in the Service and Owner's Manuals may cause the flanged lug nuts to be over-tightened, which could result in a broken wheel stud and possible wheel separation.
Consequence: Wheel separation can cause a vehicle crash.

2018-05-17

Manufacturer: Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
Summary: Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2014-2018 Dodge Journey, Charger and Durango, RAM 2500, 3500, 3500 Cab Chassis (more than 10,000lb), 4500 Cab Chassis and 5500 Cab Chassis, Jeep Cherokee and Grand Cherokee and Chrysler 300, 2014-2019 RAM 1500, 2015-2018 Dodge Challenger, 2015-2017 Chrysler 200, 2016-2018 RAM 3500 Cab Chassis (less than 10,000 lb), 2017-2018 Chrysler Pacifica and 2018 Jeep Wrangler vehicles. These vehicles are being recalled to address a defect that could prevent the cruise control system from disengaging. If, when using cruise control, there is a short circuit within the vehicle's wiring, the driver may not be able to shut off the cruise control either by depressing the brake pedal or manually turning the system off once it has been engaged, resulting in either the vehicle maintaining its current speed or possibly accelerating.
Consequence: If the vehicle maintains its speed or accelerates despite attempts to deactivate the cruise control, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
Remedy: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the software, and perform a software flash on the engine or powertrain control module, free of charge. The recall began June 4, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Note: Owners are advised to stop using cruise control until the software update has been performed. In the event that cruise control cannot be disengaged while driving, owners should firmly and steadily apply the brakes and shift the transmission to neutral, placing the vehicle in park once it has stopped.

Pushing the brake pedal for prolonged periods when the vehicle is running and in PARK may cause the Brake Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) pin to stick in the open position. With the pin in the open position, the transmission can be shifted out of PARK into any gear without pushing the brake pedal or having the key in the ignition.
Consequence: Being able to shift the transmission without pushing the brake pedal and/or without a key in the ignition can increase the risk of an unintended vehicle rollaway that may result in personal injury or a crash.
Remedy: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will update the vehicle software, inspect the BTSI, and, as necessary, replace it, free of charge. The recall began February 26, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is T79.

Summary: Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Ram 1500, 2500, 3500, 4500, and 5500, 2015 Chrysler 200, Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, and Dodge Challenger, 2014-2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Cherokee, and Dodge Durango, and 2013-2015 Dodge Viper vehicles. The affected vehicles are equipped with radios that have software vulnerabilities that can allow third-party access to certain networked vehicle control systems.
Consequence: Exploitation of the software vulnerability may result in unauthorized remote modification and control of certain vehicle systems, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Chrysler will notify and mail affected owners a USB drive that includes a software update that eliminates the vulnerability, free of charge. Optionally, owners may download the update to their own USB drive from http://www.driveuconnect.com/software-update/ or take their vehicle to a Chrysler dealer for immediate installation. In an effort to mitigate the effects of this security vulnerability, Chrysler has had the wireless service provider close the open cellular connection to the vehicle that provided unauthorized access to the vehicle network. This measure may not have been implemented on all vehicles and does not address access by other means that will be remedied by the software update. The recall began on August 25, 2015.

The affected vehicles have a steering wheel wiring harness that may rub against the driver air bag module retainer spring.
Consequence: This abrasion may result in an electrical short that could cause driver's frontal air bag to unexpectedly deploy. Inadvertent deployment of the air bag may increase the risk of injury and the possibility of a vehicle crash.
Remedy: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect, repair as necessary, and secure the steering wheel wiring harness. Additionally, protective caps will be added to the air bag retainer spring ends. These repairs will be done free of charge. The recall began on September 18, 2015.

The affected vehicles have a maximum governed speed of 106 mph but are fitted with tires that are only rated for a maximum speed of 87 mph.
Consequence: If the vehicle exceeds the tires' maximum speed rating, the tires may suddenly fail, increasing the risk of a crash.
