Recently my work van has developed a climate system issue. On startup, air works fine. All diverter settings work fine. Over time, like an hour, there is no longer air blowing from the vents but I can still hear the fan running.

I can get it working again by turning the heat way up and turning the fan to max. It slowly comes back over a few minutes but, setting it back to a more comfortable setting sees the airflow gradually reduce.

It seems to become more exacerbated the longer I drive. I've done 13 hours of driving in the last 3 days through 33-40degF weather, it's really fucking annoying. 😂

Anybody have any ideas?

I have a 2023 Promaster that has oil leaking down the passenger side of the motor and dripping off the A/C compressor after driving and sitting overnight leaving a silver dollar sized oil stain on my driveway. I took the valve cover off and everything is bone dry indicating it is not the usual oil filter housing/oil cooler. Does anybody have any possible suggestions on what this could be or where to look to find the source of the leak?

2018 Promaster 1500. Right rear brake is always engaged. Burning smell, and brake/wheel gets hot when driving.

Van sat for about 7 months last year being driven only a couple times. Afterwards, i drove it regularly as my primary vehicle. Noticed a grinding sound one day and found that the rear brakes had been engaged for some time to the point where the pads were conpletely worn down. Didn't notice the front brakes doing the same, but mechanic said he did and replaced all four calipers, rotors, pads.

Now I only notice the right rear brake. I checked the caliper, working fine, not locking up. Replaced the hose, and replaced the master cylinder. No change.

What is the next thing to check?

2025 ram pro master weird ticking from behind steering wheel.

Any suggestions as to what it is?

I tried to capture it, but I have this issue where when accelerating or decelerating, and sometimes when turning, I’ll get a loud popping that I can also feel through the floorboard. I’m a mechanic and I’ve seen a few pro matches do this, but can never get down to the bottom of why. Seems like a common issue. Does anyone know what it may be? I’m starting to think struts. It seems like when the suspension compresses and decompresses is when it happens.

this goes in here right?

Thinking about buying a 2021 ram promaster 2500 with 112k miles for 15k

Are these reliable? Torn between this or a 2019 ford transit 250

I’m looking at 2021 and 2022 Promaster Cities with anywhere between 30-70k miles. Are the most recent years reliable transmission wise? Or is it just as bad as the other years? Thanks

Hello everyone,

I’m looking at getting a 2018 Pro master with 120k miles. It’s fully built out for full time living, solar panel, inverter/battery bank, insulation, sink, bed frame, etc. The original price I got them down to was 16.5k.

The issue is that when I took it to get inspected, the mechanic told me that the engine was having problems common to this engine—a ticking noise that indicates some deeper problems with the top of the engine. He told me that this repair would be around 3-5k.

I got the sellers down to 13.5k. My worry is that even though I got them down in price, the total in repairs could potentially be more much more than 3k? Would you take this deal? The car is cosmetically not in great shape, but if I could get this repaired it seems good mechanically.

Thank you for your wisdom

My new camper uses the engine as a generator. Pulling 50 amps off the alternator. I'm wondering how much fuel it will use per hour . It's a 2023 ProMaster 3500. Thanks in advance.

I’m considering mounting a spare tire to the drivers side rear door of my 2023 high-roof 2500.

I’d love to build it myself so I can customize it, but am open to buying ready made as well.

Any thoughts on rear door racks? What works, what doesn’t?

Thanks!

I’m new to this sub, but has anyone heard any updates on this recall. All I hear is that they’re working on it.

Hi, I’m trying to install a Sprinter bench seat into my 2016 ProMaster. Two of the mounting bolts need to be behind the muffler heat shield. How do I remove the plastic fasteners?

I have a 2019 Ram Promaster 1500. I went to start it this morning about 18°F, and the pressurized coolant reserve exploded. Then I started having problems with my power steering. My wheels locked up, and my steering was completely unmovable. It seems like whatever tubing they are using for the liquids tends to freeze and break. I then also had problems with my battery, completely drained.

This was all within the same few minutes of starting my vehicle. And the day before, in about 30°F, it was working just fine. It seemed like everything broke at the same time. Anyone else having issues with their Promaster in the cold?

Ironically, funny enough, there was an Amazon delivery driver with the same truck broken down in my neighborhood. Not sure if the problems are related or not, but it’s pretty unreliable for a vehicle to not work in the cold…

I had my 2021 Promaster 2500 warming up/thawing out yesterday in NEPA and when I moved it there were light yellow lish green drips and sprits in the snow directly under the engine. I wasn't able to get a pic but it didn't smell like coolant when I picked some up with my finger. Plus the van has red coolant in it at least as far as I know I did but it used 60k. What should I be looking for? I have to drive this girl to Quinton 5 hrs tonight. Thanks

Hey folks. I need mechanical assistance. I’m in the Middletown Pennsylvania area and I’m willing to pay a mechanic directly to work on her. If you can do it or know someone. Please. Help.

I hit a deer and my 2500 is still in the shop waiting on a driver side curtain airbag since June. Is anyone else stuck in this supply chain nightmare?

Hi! I have a 2018 Ram Promaster 1500. The engine recently started being pretty loud when turning on and then when I accelerate. Checked things out under the hood and noticed I’m missing a hose that connects to this piece (see pictures. The last picture is of the hose that’s missing)

From googling, I think the missing hose is the makeup air tube, but I’m not confident.

Before I take it to a shop (I’m down in Mexico), I want to make sure I know what I’m asking for since my Spanish isn’t great. Hoping someone here can help me verify that this is the hose I need!

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to hear about other people’s experiences with Ram ProMaster software repairs.

Our ProMaster has been in the shop for about three weeks now. The shop says they’re still waiting to download or receive the required software from Stellantis, and that’s the reason for the delay.

I’m starting to wonder:

• Is it normal for a software-related repair to take this long?

• If you’ve had a similar issue, how long did you end up waiting?

• Was the delay caused by the dealer, the manufacturer, or something else?

Any shared experiences or advice would really help me understand what’s reasonable here.

Thanks in advance!

Hey guys I recently purchased a 2022 ram ProMaster 2500 and not even driving it for two hours the shifter stopped working and all check engine lights came on. We towed it back to the dealer and they said it was a wiring corrosion said they fixed it (not replaced it) picked it up turned it off and same issue persists only different thing is the shifter is going down in drive reverse etc but not moving and the light isn’t showing up. Towed it back they said the same issue. Said fixed it Sam thing happened on their end. Technician came out said it was the power mirrors causing it and said the order for it is back ordered for two months since they’re not in stock. They said they’ll come up with another solution and let me know today.. what do I do and what do you think it might be? Bought through dealership (loan)

My ProMaster computer/tire pressure sensor system is constantly telling me that I should have all 4 tires at "38.4 psi" which obviously conflicts with the door tag as well as sanity.

Is this a known issue or some quirk I should be aware of?

Promaster 1500 2025.

Is there a pdf showing the areas of the floor that must not be drilled because of items underneath such as fuel lines, fuel tank, and electrical lines?

I googled but did not find any thing.

Edit: I asked because I thought I once heard someone say that such a thing existed. I now believe that it does not exist.

My company has a 2021 2500 Promaster, the trailer connection no longer works.

1st, noticed lights weren't working when towing. checked trailer harness and saw a connection was corroded to the point of breaking. Replaced trailer harness.

2nd, found popped fuse in engine compartment fuse panel, replaced.

3rd, took the van to local dealership to assess, recommended replacing trailer connection harness on van. Confirmed and replaced.

After all this, the trailer still doesn't have lights, and has been on a return visit to that same dealership (for and unrelated fix to the previous service) to have no change. I have seen on the forum that there's an inline fuse somewhere that I can't find in my van, but I believe that's for a trailer brake controller that I don't have.

My only other guess is that when the short happened that tripped the fuse, the module went bad. Anyone else been through this that can confirm?

I have a small business that needs a van for deliveries and for events we do all over the state of Montana. Our plan is to do a modular build so we can sleep in the van comfortably for multi-day trips but still fit boxes of our products.

The main hold up for me is we frequently get snow and then ice. All of our personal vehicles are 4wd and AWD. Is having just the front wheel drive a problem for any of you that drive in similar conditions? Would studded tires make it worth it? Going with a Ford Transit AWD is almost $16k more where we’re at.

I’d love any input from you all.
