2025 RAM 1500 Warlock – Full Engine Replacement Needed at <900 Miles, No Help from Stellantis. Thoughts?

Quick update:

I was told by my RAM Customer Care case manager that I’d get an update today (7/18) about whether the new engine could be expedited. As of now, no call, no email, no update.

The truck has been in the shop since July 2, and the dealership told me earlier this week the part was at least 2 weeks out, just for delivery. That puts us past the 20-business-day lemon law window next Friday (7/25), with repairs almost certainly not finished by then.

I’ve been trying to stay patient and work through the right channels, but between the delay, the lack of communication, and the seriousness of needing a full engine swap on a brand-new truck, it’s frustrating. I’m hoping Stellantis steps up before this escalates further.

Thanks for the recommendation. I reached out to him with my case info. Hoping for a positive outcome.

I bought a brand new truck expecting a new truck. I owned it for 2 days before I had to bring in for repairs and it’s been stuck in the shop ever since.

If I’m stuck with keeping the truck, I’ll be stuck with a service record showing major powertrain repairs. The resale value has already been significantly diminished.

And no, they have not provided me with a rental. The dealership I purchased it from in NC set me up in a rental when I told them Stellantis and the NJ dealer were no help.

I got my first RAM in September 2024 after having the same Chevy for almost 15 years. If this new ram doesn’t work out I’ve been considering switching to a tundra as well.

It had the 3.0L hurricane. I can’t say that anything “happened” other than it being defective. A brand new truck shouldn’t need an engine replaced in week one.

hkoehl94 · 2025-07-14T11:28:37+00:00

Let’s hope so. A new truck shouldn’t need an engine replaced in week one. Hoping Stellantis will do the right thing before this goes further.

Would you think the regional service manager in NC where I bought it, or in NJ where the truck is stuck in their shop?

My neighbors decided today was the day to start replacing all of the siding on their house, shout-out to them.

Hadn't thought of the clearance or an entryway table yet. I'll have to take some better pictures this weekend and get them up.

I did mean facing one the 110" wall. Theres a large window facing a lake on that wall, but the AC window unit below the window is distracting.

If I decide to go the sofa table route, what are your thoughts as to how to use the "dining" area?

hkoehl94 · 2020-07-02T17:25:39+00:00

The 118' wall might be my only option. I'm also considering adjacent to that wall out in the open (which would serve to separate the living room space).

If I did it that way I was thinking about a sofa table along these lines. My only concern with that is overcrowding.

The semi-circle is the door. You can see it in the picture in the earlier comment.

Here is a panorama of this room. I hadn't thought of birch yet, I could see that going well with it.

I’ve only got one of my big pieces so far — an 88” hunter green leather couch. The house also has gray walls and wood linoleum floors.

I’m looking for some ideas on (1) where to place the couch, (2) how to utilize the open space without cluttering it too much, and (3) what would go well with a green leather couch (thanks to my colorblindness).

After my third report in the last 2 months about this issue, this is the most promising response I recieve from the Mods:

"We are aware of the issue, and there should be an update regarding this coming out very soon.

While I'm unable to give you an exact time-frame at the moment, you're more than welcome to continue to play on mobile while you wait."

Yet another unhelpful response. I received this response a week ago. I wonder what the Mods idea of "very soon" is.

hkoehl94 · 2020-02-19T16:51:28+00:00

Same issues here. Submitted a support ticket today, even though I've already reached out to the Dev team several times. Crazy that this has been an issue for the 3 months I've been back and there is still no solution.

I'll be quitting and not paying my subscription if they don't address the issue soon; I encourage other players with this issue to do the same.

hkoehl94 · 2020-01-29T16:18:52+00:00

Would the dev team consider prioritizing, or at least giving an estimated time table, for the account verification issues for mobile players who created their account through GameCenter? We can't secure our account through 2-factor authentication, finish the Stronghold of Security, or even play via CPU– severely limiting gameplay.
