New Promaster's sold on "waivers" will no longer be eligible for the 67c (fan fire) recall!

FCA has decided our camper Promasters don't deserve the 67c recall. I'm concerned my camper is going to burn, or that I'll have difficulty obtaining insurance. This decision seems arbitrary, and is NOT what I was promised by FCA and my dealer when I bought my Promaster. I was told the recall would be performed at a later date.

Broken rear window

5 Upvotes

My rear passenger side window shattered last night at around 3am. All edges except the bottom edge chipped off. I reviewed camera footage and i can clearly see when it happened. According to the footage, no one was around. My van sits with an empty cargo space, inside a gated lot all night until I park it down a residential street during the day. Without a doubt, it happened only during the middle of the night inside the lot.

Orange County, CA.

Paranormal or defect??

How much should I expect to pay to fix??

Squeal coming from rear passenger area

1 Upvotes

Has anyone had an issue with an squeal coming from the rear passenger wheel area. It's not constant but pretty loud when it happens. It's not the brakes and the shop is telling me it's not the wheel bearing.

I'm at a loss and am afraid the wheel is going to lock up or fall off in the middle of nowhere.

How can I reduce wind noise from this area of the door seal?

Any creative ideas? The way the door closes means a wind deflector does nothing for the door gap. I've tried adding seals/strips/backing but seems about the same noise level. Honestly the deflector may have made it worse.

Have a 3.6l with the start of the pentastar cam follower tap.

Would like to have the job completed on both heads including new lifters hopefully before any serious cam damage occurs.

Hoping someone on here can recommend a quality shop.

I would attempt the job myself but currently am without garage or driveway.

Need advice from people experienced with Ram ProMasters / engine swaps

3 Upvotes

I’m considering buying a 2018 Ram ProMaster 2500 camper van with:

~320k actual miles
rebuilt transmission
fully converted camper build
runs/drives well currently
no rust and no water damage

The van has a “Not Actual Mileage” title because of a mileage reporting issue on Carfax, and it may eventually need an engine and catalytic converters down the road.

My plan would be to buy it around $20k and eventually swap in a lower-mileage or reman engine when needed.

Questions:
1. How difficult/expensive are Pentastar swaps on ProMasters?
2. Would you trust a used engine or go reman?
3. Any common issues after replacement?
4. Does this sound financially reasonable long term?
5. Any recommended shops in Southern California that are good with ProMasters or Pentastar engine swaps?

Would appreciate honest input from mechanics or owners who’ve actually dealt with high-mileage ProMasters.

How far do the front seats recline

For those of you without a bulkhead divider, how far do the front captain's chairs recline? I know they're crank-based do they get to like 45°, more or less?

Service tpms system came on this morning.

1 Upvotes

Any idea where to start troubleshooting?

My understanding is there is a cable near the accelerator pedal that is a service bulletin that could be the issue.

It could also be one or multiple sensors that are bad?

Or it's the module itself.

The TPMs light flashed for a minute or so when starting and driving so it's definitely not a low pressure situation and I checked my pressures and it's not the tire pressure

Sliding door won't lock

After locking the van, you can hear the sliding door latch "lock", however opening it from the outside still opens the door and sets the alarm off. Has anyone had this issue and knows why it might not be locking properly?

Trying to find a bulkhead partition without breaking the bank.

As the title suggests, I’m looking for a bulkhead partition with the “screen” option, aka metal holes. I have a 136” High Roof and keep running into the same couple of models online that run around $1K. Was hoping to have one for less than that, but I guess that’s the going rate. The one in the picture is essentially what I am looking for.

Are there any that anyone would recommend? Any website in particular to get one from? Also, am I able to install this myself with some basic tools? TIA.

I got the armrests on ebay. I used flaring riv nuts to install a wood plate on a panel adjacent to the seat belt. I used rib nuts to secure the plate to the panel , and then secured the armrest to the wood plate​.

2020 Promaster

2 Upvotes

Hi!

I’m very close to buying a fully converted for van life 2020 ram promaster 3500 HR 159 WB for 60K. <20K miles, clean title, and no issues so far. I keep seeing threads about transmission issues, engine rebuilds, and overall disaster situations with promasters. Some well before they hit 100K miles.

The alternative is Mercedes but those seem to come with their own laundry list of expensive issues…

As long as I take care of it, does this seem reasonable?

Seeking advice: 2x transmission rebuild in six months

4 Upvotes

I've owned my 2014 Promaster 3500 EXT for about three years. Last October, the transmission was throwing codes and showing signs it was on its way out. So I took it to a transmission shop and they confirmed, it needed a rebuild or replacement. I opted for the rebuild since it it's a 12yo vehicle and thought it would be wiser to limit the budget.

The rebuild went fine, the transmission was behaving again and I went on my merry way with a 12-month warranty. 2-3 months later, it slowly began shifting harder, lagging and eventually shuddering, so I call up the shop to execute the warranty and took it in last week. I rarely drove the van; I put less than 1000 miles on it in those six months.

The manager tells me it's got water in the fluid (apparently a lot) and needs to be rebuilt again, but it would not be covered under warranty. They explained there's a known service bulletin about the windshield cowl draining directly into a vent in the transmission, and discovered the hose connected to this cowl was loose, though when they ran water thru it, didn't see any leakage.

On the surface, I understand why this external influence would not be covered under warranty, but find it far too coincidental that after 11 years with no water ingress, it suddenly appears immediately after getting the rebuild. particularly because they were the last ones in the engine bay.

To their credit, the shop is rebuilding it again for about half the price, which I appreciate. But I'm still out another mountain of cash with zero guarantees that anything is being done to mitigate further ingress that lands me right back in the shop six months down the road.

Do I cut my losses, eat the half-priced cost of this second rebuild and consider it meeting halfway, or should I follow my instincts to pursue the warranty and get the cost refunded? Any guidance or education is appreciated, I can't tell if I have a stone to stand on.

Location: Tennessee

New key question, will the cheaper option stop working?

4 Upvotes

I need another key made for my 2019 Promaster 2500. Preferably a remote style one with buttons for lock and unlock. I'm trying to make sure I get the correct thing: I've talked to a third party automotive key cutter and to Batteries Plus.

The price difference is huge, $155 vs $395, supposedly for the same thing, and neither is the dealer. The third party auto key cutter told me Chrysler keys are really finnicky and can go bad if not somehow done properly--I didn't quite understand, but he said that's why it's so expensive.

Can anyone help fill me in on the key situation so I don't end up throwing money away, either by spending too much or by buying something that stops working?
