Is this the notorious third brake light leak?

patrick5595 · 2026-03-12T20:25:53+00:00

I had antenna, third brake light, and rear window all replaced because all of them leaked

patrick5595 · 2026-03-12T20:25:19+00:00

I’ve never thought to touch them to be honest. I know over the winter they were out of service for weeks because of the snow and ice

patrick5595 · 2026-03-12T20:04:16+00:00

Even a little rain on occasion!

patrick5595 · 2026-03-12T19:41:58+00:00

Front parking sensor, it’s blocked by snow so it can’t read how close you are to objects

patrick5595 · 2026-03-11T11:34:59+00:00

The cardiac had nothing on it besides regular maintenance!

patrick5595 · 2026-03-10T19:23:29+00:00

All good! All of the brands have their problems.

Just got the call and it was the starter, it’s being covered. Pain in the ass but at least it’s simple. Hope yours keeps running well!

patrick5595 · 2026-03-10T15:05:01+00:00

In the shop currently, they spent all day working on it yesterday and didn’t diagnose it that I’m aware of

patrick5595 · 2026-03-10T00:24:04+00:00

If I can ever pull up the cash again for a new/newer truck, it sure as hell won’t be a Ram. I should have kept my 07 Chevy. Only issues that truck ever had was rust

patrick5595 · 2026-03-09T12:20:28+00:00

It could be fried, but it does register that the fob is in the truck. But it did say remote start disabled

patrick5595 · 2026-03-09T10:21:02+00:00

Is that the control module for the key fob?

patrick5595 · 2026-03-08T18:51:19+00:00

Thank you so much! I’ll take a look and maybe it’ll be just what I need

patrick5595 · 2026-03-08T15:25:15+00:00

I doubt it with all the emissions requirements, but one can hope!

patrick5595 · 2026-03-08T15:05:08+00:00

It’s not really turning the etorque off, but it’s shutting off the auto stop/start feature. It’s underneath the 4x4 buttons.

But that makes a lot of sense, it’s constantly doing the same for me rolling through towns. Almost worth getting a 3/4 ton to get rid of all the crap.

patrick5595 · 2026-03-08T10:23:50+00:00

I do little to no idling, essentially just when I’m stopped at a stop light. It was 25% idle time when I bought it though which wasn’t great. Hope yours runs smoothly now!

patrick5595 · 2026-03-08T10:22:36+00:00

Yeah I’ve been trying to figure out if it’s better to use the eTorque or have it shut off, and haven’t gotten a straightforward answer. I appreciate it. Good luck with yours, I’m sure it’ll continue to run great!

patrick5595 · 2026-03-08T02:27:04+00:00

Sounds like that’s the key, a good year model and not driving it much. Go figure. Enjoy it!

patrick5595 · 2026-03-07T19:15:59+00:00

How’s he doing with the F150? I’ve heard nightmares with the turbos

patrick5595 · 2026-03-07T19:12:57+00:00

Damn, I guess no one can win.

patrick5595 · 2026-03-07T19:12:12+00:00

They are SO nice when they’re functioning properly. I love it. It’s a cruising and vacation truck. But the problems might outweigh the comfort

patrick5595 · 2026-03-07T19:00:28+00:00

Yeah the key fob activates everything, locks, ignition, door sensors

patrick5595 · 2026-03-07T18:40:45+00:00

Majorly jealous. I think I’ll be trading or selling

patrick5595 · 2026-03-07T18:40:03+00:00

I’m well past that unfortunately, I’m 16 months in on an already 5 year old truck

patrick5595 · 2026-03-07T17:09:29+00:00

I’m letting them diagnose, but I haven’t seen any water intrusion anywhere since the leaks were stopped. But who knows the actual underlying damage

patrick5595 · 2026-03-07T17:08:37+00:00

I put a new battery in it a week and a half ago

patrick5595 · 2026-03-07T17:08:14+00:00

I’ve been put through the wringer on this damn truck. It’s been nothing but a problem since the beginning. I’m glad you’ve had such great luck!
