Even with a perfect Dodge Rebel, the front styling just doesn't work for me. Those huge grill Nostrils look like a Bull's Nose. All you need to add are those Texas Longhorns on the hood!

From what I've been reading it sounds like you are one of the lucky ones. I've never seen a new vehicle from anyone that had so many people with major, soak all your carpets, water leaks from new.

Ram released an excessive interior moisture TSB on 1/5/19.

Turns out it is excessive window licking, from the inside. I will see if I can find the link again.

Does the engine have to be pulled to replace the oil pan? It might be worth it to pay Ford the difference for the metal oil pan if they will cover the labor.

Did the second plastic oil pan fix the leak?


Stock leaked, replaced with plastic, leaked, replaced with plastic...

Must be a quality control issue. Clearly Ford sucks w it. My Grill wasn't clipped when I bought the truck and my driver's side door looks like it's open because it sticks out when I close it. Also, steering wheel leather will wear so quickly lol. I've seen them on trucks with 10-20k miles and they're so glossy and greasy, Yuck. I was expecting so much in terms of craftsmanship with this truck but I am kind of disappointed. That said, it's still badass and one hell of a truck.

Yeah, I agree. Fit and finish is a bit below what I'd expect, but then again this truck blows everything else out of the water even above its price point, so....

Still grinding that front end down every day, waiting for parts. This has been an issue for like 5 months now....

Is this the IWE issue? I can relate: I left my truck at the Service Dept for 4 weeks waiting for parts, which finally arrived right before New Year (probably delayed due to the holiday shipping crunch), and they replaced the vacuum line and actuator in 1 day. I did not want to drive it while waiting for parts, and grind the IWE further. Hope you get yours fixed soon.

They refuse to do anything about it or look into it at all until they take care of a TSB for replacing the IWE line. Started around 30k miles, im at 38k now, past warranty.

Currently waiting on the IWE line.
