    ERROR CODE P0463: FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH INPUT, THIS MEANS MY FUEL GAUGE IS EXPERIENCING FAILURES AND I CAN NOT ACCURATELY DETERMINE HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE VEHICLE. DOING A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH, THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2014 RAM 1500 5.7L. I'M AT ROUGHLY 68500 MILE ON MY TRUCK SO THE ISSUE IS ALSO OUT OF WARRANTY.

  12. Suspension, Jan 21, 2020

    I HAVE A 2014 DODGE RAM 1500 LARAMIE LIMITED WITH THE AIR SUSPENSION OPTION. I BOUGHT IT 11 MONTHS AGO. IT WAS WINTER WHEN I BOUGHT IT, AND ON THE TEST DRIVE, I ATTEMPTED TO ADJUST THE SUSPENSION LEVEL AND IMMEDIATELY GOT THE WARNING MESSAGE THAT THE AIR SUSPENSION NEEDED TO BE SERVICED. THEY TOOK IT INTO THEIR SERVICE BAY AND REPLACED THE FUSE, WHICH TEMPORARILY RESOLVED THE ISSUE. AS THE WEATHER REMAINED COLD, HOWEVER, I GOT THE SAME MESSAGE AGAIN, SO CONTACTED THE DEALER AND TOOK IT BACK IN. I ENDED UP HAVING TO TAKE IT BACK IN MULTIPLE TIMES, WITH THEM "INSULATING A PART OF THE SYSTEM AND UPDATING THE ECU". AS THE WEATHER WARMED UP THROUGH THE SPRING AND SUMMER, NO ISSUES. FAST FORWARD TO THIS WINTER, ONCE THE WEATHER DROPPED BELOW FREEZING, THE SERVICE AIR SUSPENSION LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I CHECKED ALL FUSES, AND NONE WERE BLOWN, WHICH SEEMS TO BE THE COMMON FAULT THAT CAUSES THIS ERROR MESSAGE. I PULLED THEM AND REPLACED THEM TO TRY TO RESET THE SYSTEM, AND THE SYSTEM TRIED LOWER THE TRUCK, THEN RAISE IT, TO THE POINT WHERE IT FINALLY STOPPED WITH THE FRONT END COMPLETELY LOWERED ON THE BUMP STOPS, AND THE BACK END IN OFF-ROAD 2. THE HEIGHT INDICATOR STATED IT WAS IN OFF-ROAD 2, EVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, EVEN THOUGH THAT HEIGHT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO BE MAINTAINED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE SYSTEM ALSO CONTINUES TO TRY TO RAISE AND LOWER ON IT'S OWN, DOING SO FOR UP TO AN HOUR AT A TIME WHILE DRIVING. ALL THAT BEING SAID, THE VEHICLE IS BACK AT THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS, EVEN THOUGH THE FORUMS I'VE FOUND STATE THERE IS CURRENTLY NOT A PERMANENT SOLUTION FROM FCA. THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM IN ANY CLIMATE THAT DROPS BELOW FREEZING AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO VEHICLES AND LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IN SOME INSTANCES. I HOPE NO ONE HAS TO LOSE THEIR LIFE IN ORDER FOR THIS TO DEMAND A RESOLUTION FROM FCA.

  13. Fuel/propulsion system, Jan 21, 2020

    AT ABOUT 49,000 MILES THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER DRIVING FOR SEVERAL DAYS THE LIGHT WOULD TURN OFF ON ITS OWN WHILE THE ENGINE WAS OFF. I THOUGHT THAT IT MAY BEEN THE GAS CAP, SO I REPLACED IT. THEN, WHILE DRIVING, THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT TURNED ON AGAIN, INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. I HAD IT CHECKED BY O' REILLYS AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE FUEL SYSTEM, PO463=2 6391451. WHEN I TURNED ON THE ENGINE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ON. AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS I NOTICED THAT WHEN MY GAS WAS LESS THAN 3/4 FULL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON AGAIN, WHILE DRIVING. MY GAS GAUGE AND MILE RANGE DROPPED TO ZERO. WHEN I FILLED THE GAS TANK THE GAUGE WENT BACK TO FULL WITH THE NUMBER OF MILE RANGE. AGAIN, WHEN THE GAS WAS ABOUT 3/4, THE GAUGE DROPPED OFF. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS NOW REMAINED ON CONSTANTLY.

THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BECAUSE THE BOLTS USED WASNT STRONG ENOUGH TO WITH STAND PRESSURE AND CORROSION. MY CRUISE CONTROL ALSO NO LONGER WORKS LIKE IT SHOULD. IT WILL GO INTO CRUISE CONTROL VERY RARELY AND WHEN IT DOES IT'S HARD TO GET IT OUT. I HAVE TO SHUT THE TRUCK OFF MOST OF THE TIME TO GET IT OUT OF CRUISE CONTROL MODE. THE LIGHTS THAT LUMINATE THE PRESS BUTTONS IN THE STEERING WHEEL FLICKER RANDOMLY. SO IT TELLS ME IT MUST BE A WIRING ISSUE OF SOME SORT. I'VE CONTACTED A DODGE DEALER SHIP AND THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT AS THEY SAY IT'S NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I'M AFRAID WITH THE EXAUST LEAK THE EXTRA HEAT IN THE ENGINE BAY MAY RESULT IN MELTED WIRES OR EVEN WORSE A FIRE. THANK YOU FOR REVIEWING THIS PROBLEM.

DEALER SAYS "THIS HAPPENS". REALLY? THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT; NO IMPACT; NO EFFORT AT SELF-REPAIR OR PARTS REPLACEMENT. IT JUST FELL OUT. FRIGHTENING.
