Got this code today and rho had a dead battery. Jumped it, check engine light came on with this code logged by jb4

Note: jb4 tuner installed last week. Gonna have it removed and see what happens. Then to dealership i guess.

Man these electrical gremlins suck! I have noticed since putting in a NOCO 5x2 charger in my engine bay and keeping my battery topped off I have had less and less of them. Thats not to say I wont get a CEL light tomorrow.

its ridiculous to pay $80k+ for a truck then have to buy a $150 charger to install in the engine bay and keep your truck plugged in when not in use just so the fucker will run WTF RAM. Im sure a software update in the near future should remedy all these battery drain issues. I do not want to have to do this when my truck finally shows up. Sorry you had to do that LOL.

100%. I have had 0 issues with my 2024 Ram 3500 Laramie with the HO.

I'm sorry you guys are having so many issues with your trucks...


It's so odd that some have multiple electrical issues on top of one another, but others have none.

It's almost like a bad batch of wiring harnesses made it into certain vehicles.

I feel really bad for the ones that get their truck shut down. My gremlins have only been small issues like blind spot monitors coming on for no reason, HUD not showing up, heated seats not working, heated steering wheel low heat and an overnight draw on my battery. All working well now as long as my battery stays charged.

I feel terrible and guilty because I haven't had any of these issues.

i had no issues prior to the JB4 install last week. So first thing i'm doing is having it removed and the code cleared. Then we will see if the check engine light comes back

No shit. Are these trucks some of the early deliveries?

P068A means the ECU lost power. His truck had a dead battery. The ECU slolwy losing voltage would be able to register a supply voltage loss because it has internal capacitors & store it in the EEPROM (Non Volatile Memory - NVM)

There is nothing wrong with his truck - his battery died.

Why his battery died? - may be related to his aftermarket components or he left a light on.

I would not take it to the dealer - I would just drive it.
