Known issues by generation

The Ram 1500 TRX has specific issues to keep in mind, particularly the 6.2L supercharged Hemi V8 engine, which can experience problems such as snout-bearing failure in high mileage or over-tuned configurations. Be sure to check for proper service history and rebuild records for the supercharger snout. The adaptive Bilstein BDS shock absorbers may need rebuilding after 60-80k miles, especially if the truck has been subjected to rigorous off-road use. Additionally, monitoring the Multi-Displacement System is crucial for potential lifter issues that have been historically noted in the Hemi V8. Ensuring documentation of these preventive measures will significantly enhance the value of your vehicle.
