2017 ram 2500 diesel with firestone transforce at tires. Tires have approximately 27000 miles on them and need to be replaced. Overall I am very pleased with truck but very disappointed that ram puts tires on a 54000 dollar truck that only lasts 27000 miles.

During a routine tire rotation, the service technician advised me that the brake calipers appeared to be swelling when heating up and were cutting grooves into the wheels. He proceeded to show me the damage and indicated that this could result in a catastrophic event if not corrected. I immediately took the vehicle to the dealership and informed them of the issue.

The Hydraulic Control Unit and the Anti-lock brake module on my 2017 Ram 2500 Diesel truck is going out. It has 84,000 miles on this truck. This is very costly to repair and Ram knows it is a problem!

The tire pressure monitoring system requires I have 60 PSI in the front tires and 80 PSI in the rear tires. Unless I have a considerable amount of weight loaded in the pickup box, the rear tires are over-inflated at 80 PSI. This over-inflated condition causes a rapid wearing of the rear tires.
