I do the same thing I randomly go under my trucks and check everything out. I bought a 2024 GMC 2500 Ultimate back in May. After about 1100 miles I finally went under it (it had already had other issues) and I saw hmm oil on the exterior of the pan interesting, so I checked some more come to find out massive oil leak from the oil cooler adapter and those wax frames man bumping into it sucked. This was my first GM truck I've always had Rams, my GMC had a multitude of issues they found and ended up buying it back so I went back and bought another a 2024 Ram 3500. I'll have to check my Ram when I get home and take a look but from ym others I've never had an issue like this, so i'm interested to take a look
My 23 3500 did the same thing. Started at 2300 miles. Dealer replaced under warranty. I noticed the drips on my garage floor like you. Mechanic said he's done several of them. The problem is in the seal design with a faulty retention spring not keeping the seal tight against the yoke.
I had a front pinion seal leak in pretty much that same location on my 2013 Ram 2500 diesel. Had it fixed under warranty, then exactly a year later had it leak again. They repaired it again. Almost a year later, same issue, so they finally replaced the yoke and the seal. I told them that the issue had to be more than just what the kept fixing for those first couple of times. It has been about 5 years since the last repair, and no issues since.
This time use a seal sleeve, seals are to large or the area between the lip and the rest of the seal wasn't packed lightly with grease and seal just ran dry.
It’s probably the slip yoke. There’s a nick or burr on the shaft. Where it inserts into the t-case. It’s cut that rubber seal and is leaking. I experienced this firsthand, when I had to have a transfer case replaced a few years ago. After I had the transfer case replaced, the slip yoke seal continuously dripped. I had the seal replaced multiple times, to no avail. So a friend of mine, who has a lift at his house, told me to bring the truck over. we pulled the driveshaft, pull the slip yoke out, and under inspection, we found a little gouge in the yolk. As if it had been dropped on a table or rolled onto a floor and was damaged. In my case, I was able to find a salvage slip yoke that was not marred, replaced it, with a new seal. And it was perfectly fine for many thousand miles after that. The slip yoke itself is probably damaged in some manner. And the dealership will continuously replace the seal and not inspect the yoke. It’s been my experience anyway. Hope this helps.
@@automotiveinquiries9673 If this is happening on multiple trucks, I’d say it’s very feasible, that it’s a manufacturing defect on the yoke. Probably in the machining process most likely.
My truck has 177 kilometers...yes, 109 miles on it. I parked it the first night i owned it with the battery light on and voltage reading 11.3 volts on offroad page. Next morning, same issue, drove it and improved to 11.8 volts. Parked it and then off to dealership. Spiked to 13.6 volts with a 'Service electronic control module' dealer took it in and discovered the Alternator was screwed. They have overnighted one and is currently being installed. Its not a dealer issue, its a manufacturere issue. Frustrsting but the dealership is trying to make it right.
Our 2022 Ram 5500 transfer case leaked from brand new filled and check at every servicing. Transfer case blew up at 103k miles, Stilantis replaced at no cost even though just out of warranty, they said common issue on these trucks whatever that means, I only used 4 wheel drive maybe 10 times prior to breaking. Garbage parts from cheap materials is the issue.
78k miles in mine, no problems except i hit a curb and fucked the tie rod, tried parking on street and didn't realize the curbs weren't curved like my old neighborhood
@@automotiveinquiries9673 I wiped it clean to verify if it was a leak or residual from manufacturing. The leak came back after a few days so I took it in. Pretty simple and straight forward repair.
Is your truck comes with the Aisin transmission? I have a 2023 3500 dually with the Aisin and I'm trying to take precaution if in fact your truck is the high output diesel. Thanks in advance.
@j.l.salayao8055 mine is the standard output with 68rfe. If you didn't get the PTO option on your Aisin, the transfer case should be the same...that's where mine is leaking from.
My brother inlaw gots a new 2024 ram 3500 doin hotshot and hes experiencing down shifting and limited to 70mph fuel filters are at 50% could they be plugged up maybe?
Very unfortunate, but naturally these vehicles are going to have issues since they are mass produced in factories. Hence the warranties they come with. I have a 21’ 3500 with 94,000 miles and no issues. I’m sure folks have my same truck and had a whole list of issues at 8k miles, just luck of the draw what you get dealt as you buy.
I'll be crawling under mine as soon as I get home from work. Is your truck the HO Cummins or the standard with the 68RFE? I know the transfer cases are probably the same on both.
I just got the 2024 ram 3500 crew cab duly . And when i first crank it in the mornings when i back out of the drive the transmission feels like its slipping then catches and moves . Then i shift in to foward and it slips again as i try and pull foward. I have just over 1200 miles on it brand new . But only does that on the first attempt to back out and go forward. But i dont think that its supposed to do that . Goung to bring it back to the daeler next week. Have anyone else had this happen
I just purchased a 2024 Ram 3500, the brakes completely failed, the transmission doesn’t shift properly, there is front end noises, the engine vibrates at low speeds, and this truck was just over a month old, the brake booster failed, Its still in the shop waiting on parts, Ram Canada doesn't, t give a shit, the Dealer said they would get me into another vehicle at no additional cost, but when i went to sign the papers it was costing me an additional 6 grand in charges, the finance guy lied about some of the charges and i never did get a straight answer, so I’m still with out my truck.I purchased it Aug 21 2024 and dropped it off Sept 30th, The Dealer and Ram Canada should make this right at their cost not mine. I paid over 100 k for the truck.
@Gibby-xn3dh sorry to hear that. Trucks are so much now you'd expect much more also. I moved on from the 24 Ram quickly. That's not easy to do when the dealers try and hose you. I'm super sorry to hear that. I hope you can get the situation fixed at no cost. Ram has lost its quality since stelantis got involved.
I have a big problem with a 2024 ram 3500 battery and 1 time 1 of the battery overhead. Twice my truck did not start in the morning. I only have 6 weeks with my truck. Please any advice
I'd suggest taking it to the dealer as soon as you could and request them give you a new battery. They are covered under the new vehicle warranty. They shouldn't lose charge or over heat. There may be an underlying issue that needs to be addressed which they should be able to check for. There may a parasitic draw on the battery causing it to overheat and be dead.
Just sold our 23 2500 Cummins. We loved it but, it started to have multiple problems with less than 12k miles on it. In the first 5k miles, it had a DPF replaced, PM sensor, and the steering control module. In the latter 7k miles, it developed a rough idle especially when cold at high idle. Also, the brake pedal squeaked like a door in a haunted house. Then it started regenerating every 300 miles regardless of filter status. I saw what was coming… selling our fifth wheel soon so we won’t need a diesel or, even a 3/4 ton truck. Bought a 10 year old Tundra with a 5.7 last week and couldn’t be happier.
Awesome videos! Thanks! I watched your videos on the 24 Chevy gasser! (Kong). Help me decide to buy one. I love it! Sold a 07 5.9 Cummins to buy the 24 Chevy 2500 gasser custom. 3000 miles and pulled my camper and have never regretted it.
I did the same thing sold my 2012 3500 ram 6.7l cummins and bought a 2024 3500 chevy gas. Works really well I had 18000lbs behind it and I was shock how well it work.
Things definitely happen. They are man made and also designed to fail. So it’s bound to happen. I understand the frustration though. Definitely 100% correct on not using a pressure washer on a GM frame. I don’t have a real problem with them insisting on using the wax but for the simple reason of being able to spray it off good I wish they would just go to an e coat like Ford and Ram.
He must be a GM guy- They frames and qtrs i my last two GMs had surface rust on them with the first year of ownership. My 13 F-150 had heavier corrosion on the pumpkin (diff) and the only one that hasn't corroded is my 19 RAM!
Been under my 2024 GMC Sierra like several times since I got it a month ago just to see whatzgoinzOn and haven’t seen anything drip..seep….or drain out of any areas so far. I’m like you, I hate leakage…..shouldn’t happen on a new truck at all. Fit and finish on these GM trucks are outstanding.

Ram is known for factory overfill in their transfer cases, check fluid level before towing!!
I'll get it level and check it and see for sure. Thanks for the insight.
I purchased a 23 3500 in July and had the same leak. Dropped it off and picked it back up the same day. Hasn’t leaked a drop since.
Ill check the level and then see if it's okay. If level is good, I'll be heading down to see them for sure. appreciate the feedback.

This is the standard output with 68rfe. My 16 transfer case looked the same with the aisin....but it has been a bit.
I checked mine when I got home and it looks different than yours. They must have changed it. Anyways, nothing was leaking on mine.
I'm a former owner of a 2009 Cummings 3500 and looking into purchasing another but I'm hearing lots of bad things about the new transmission
