Pre-Purchase Inspection Checklist

Tailored for the 2023 RAM 1500 — specific failure modes your mechanic must check, not a generic list

HIGH
Have a specialist inspect: Fuel injector and high-pressure fuel pump failures reported on EcoDiesel and Cummins variants
Fuel injector and high-pressure fuel pump failures reported on EcoDiesel and Cummins variants
HIGH
Have a specialist inspect: Class action lawsuits filed over DEF system defects
Class action lawsuits filed over DEF system defects
MEDIUM
