Ram trucks are purpose-built workhorses. The Ram 1500 competes at the top of America's best-selling truck segment with its car-like interior, available air suspension, and potent powertrain lineup. The Ram 2500 and 3500 with the 6.7L Cummins diesel are the choice of serious towers and commercial operators across the country. But Ram trucks work hard — and the components that enable that capability are the same ones that generate the largest repair bills.
The 5.7L HEMI V8 in the Ram 1500 shares its MDS (Multi-Displacement System) lifter architecture with the Dodge Challenger and Charger — and the same failure pattern. At 80,000–130,000 miles, MDS lifter collapse is common, and the repair requires pulling the intake manifold and replacing all 16 lifters. Cost: $3,000–$6,000 at most shops. The ZF 8-speed automatic in the Ram 1500 (2013–2018) had well-documented torque converter shudder complaints. The 3.0L EcoDiesel in the 2014–2019 Ram 1500 had EGR cooler issues. And the 6.7L Cummins, while legendary for durability, is not maintenance-free — high-pressure fuel pump failure and injector wear at 150,000+ miles are real costs for work-truck operators.

Every Ram model has its quirks. Here's what owners commonly report — and what coverage tier protects you.
Not every Ram needs the same coverage. Here's how to choose based on your model, mileage, and driving habits.
Covers the HEMI or Cummins engine internals, transmission, transfer case, and drivetrain at the lowest monthly cost. Best for high-mileage Ram owners who want protection against the most expensive failures without paying for full electrical and A/C coverage.
Adds A/C compressor, electrical systems, power accessories, and steering to the powertrain base. Covers MDS lifter failure, ZF 8-speed transmission, EGR systems, A/C, and power accessories — the full suite of common Ram failure points for one monthly rate.
Adds suspension components, advanced electrical, and broader drivetrain coverage. For Ram Heavy Duty owners with complex diesel emissions systems (EGR, DEF, DPF) and those doing regular commercial towing where comprehensive coverage breadth is the priority.
Near-bumper-to-bumper coverage including Uconnect infotainment, navigation, active safety systems, and factory-installed electronics. Best for 2019–2024 Ram 1500 Limited or TRX owners at lower mileage who want the closest thing to the original factory warranty.
