I just bought my ram 3 weeks ago and I currently have 700miles on it. The problem I have noticed it when I come to a complete stop and the idle settles down the truck begins to idle rough.....almost likes its missing. Has anyone else had this problem? I'm taking the truck back to the dealership on Monday. Any help would be great.

Congratulations on your new Ram and welcome to the Dodge Forum!

 

My 2012 idles rough and my dealer (as always) told me it was "normal" and some bull**** about "hot cams" and refused to do anything about it.

 

Welcome to our world. Gonna call it normal.

 

My 2009 has always had an odd idle, it will "roam" up and down in RPMS a little and yes sometimes it seems a rough idle. I have just gotten used to it. Glad its not just mine.

 

My 2013 idles rough as well shakes the whole truck and my dealer also said it was normal and I have a noticeable ticking if your on the passenger side and that too I was told was normal .

 

I'm beginning to think this is considered "normal conditions" with more then just the RAM. I noticed in the Regal Forums this seems to be an active topic as well, however I've never noticed it with our '11 GS Turbo.

Guess what? The GM dealership techs consider this normal operating conditions as well.

 

Likely a corn cob stuck in the injectors from all the ethanol we burn today...lol.
In all seriousness though, some of you may be buying sh!tty gas and this is likely the cultprit of your rough and/or unstable idle issues. I burn nothing but NON-ethanol gas now, my rough idle problems went away and have never returned. Might be a good idea to throw in a whole bottle of "Gumout - All in One" on your next fill up. I add a bottle with every oil change as well. My HEMI runs VERY smooth since getting away from the E10 garbage.

mine idles rough when cold after it warms up its smooth cant even tell its running sometimes

 

I had to stop using Valero gas because it made the truck idle like crap. Started using the grocery store gas station, and Sams club and smoother idle and no more cyl misfires. Why? No idea, but the dealer may have been right about my problem being poor gas.
