On the 2014-2025 RAM ProMaster Pentastar 3.6L, the RAM ProMaster with the 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine suffers from a well-known oil filter housing/cooler leak. The oil filter housing is mounted to the side of the engine block and contains an integrated oil cooler. The gaskets and O-rings that seal the housing deteriorate over time, causing oil to leak externally (visible drip on the ground) and/or internally (oil mixing with coolant). If oil enters the cooling system, it destroys the coolant and can cause overheating. The leak typically appears between 40,000-80,000 miles. This is the same issue that affects all Pentastar 3.6L vehicles (Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler). Mopar updated the housing design (68105583AF) with improved seals.
Milky residue on oil cap or dipstick (oil/coolant mix)
Coolant level dropping with no visible external leak
Overheating due to contaminated coolant
Oil spots under van on passenger side
Burning oil smell from engine bay
How to Fix
Replace the oil filter housing assembly with the updated Mopar part (68105583AF) which includes improved gaskets and O-rings. The repair involves draining coolant, removing the intake manifold for access, unbolting the old housing, cleaning surfaces, and installing the new housing with fresh gaskets. Cost: $400-800 at a shop, $150-250 DIY for parts. If oil has entered the coolant, flush the entire cooling system at least twice. Check coolant condition for contamination (milky appearance).

On the 2014-2025 RAM ProMaster, the RAM ProMaster sliding side door experiences cable failures, roller wear, alignment problems, and difficulty opening/closing. The door cable (which assists the sliding mechanism) frays and breaks, causing the door to jam in the open or closed position. The upper and lower rollers also wear out prematurely, causing the door to sag, scrape, and become difficult to operate. This is a significant issue for commercial users who open/close the door dozens of times per day. TSB 23-024-20 addresses sliding door cable and roller inspection/replacement. Cable replacement: $300-600; complete roller/track overhaul: $500-1,000.
Common Symptoms
Sliding door difficult to open or close
Door jams partway open or closed
Grinding or scraping noise when operating door
Door sags when opened (bottom drags)
Cable visible hanging or frayed
Door does not latch properly when closed
Excessive force required to slide door
How to Fix
Inspect the door cable for fraying (visible at the bottom track area). Replace the cable assembly (Mopar 68256321AA or 68256322AA for left/right) - cost: $100-200 for parts, $200-400 labor. Inspect and replace worn upper and lower rollers if they show flat spots or excessive play. Lubricate the track and rollers with white lithium grease every 10,000 miles to extend life. For alignment issues, adjust the striker and latch mechanism. Check TSB 23-024-20 for the complete inspection and replacement procedure.

On the 2014-2025 RAM ProMaster, the RAM ProMaster, particularly the high-roof models, develops water leaks at the roof seams, around the roof-mounted accessories (antenna, running lights), and at the fiberglass high-top to metal body joint. Water enters during rain or car washes, dripping into the cargo area and cab. The leak points are: 1) Factory roof seam sealant that cracks over time, 2) High-top fiberglass joint where the roof extension meets the metal body, 3) Antenna and marker light gaskets that deteriorate. For van life/camper conversions, any roof penetrations (solar panels, fans, vents) exacerbate the issue. Left untreated, roof leaks cause interior mold and body corrosion.
Common Symptoms
Water dripping inside cargo area during rain
Damp spots or stains on headliner
Water running down interior walls
Musty or mold smell inside van
Visible rust or corrosion at roof seams
Water pooling on floor during heavy rain
Water dripping from marker lights or antenna area
How to Fix
Inspect all roof seams, antenna mounting, and marker light gaskets. Clean and reseal roof seams with Sikaflex 221 or Dicor self-leveling lap sealant. Replace deteriorated marker light and antenna gaskets ($5-15 each). For the high-top joint, clean old sealant and apply a continuous bead of Sikaflex 221. For van conversions with roof penetrations, ensure all solar panel, fan, and vent installations use proper butyl tape and Dicor sealant. Cost: $30-100 for DIY sealant repairs; $300-800 for professional roof seam resealing.

On the 2014-2025 RAM ProMaster, the RAM ProMaster experiences premature front brake rotor warping and accelerated brake pad wear, particularly when the van is loaded with cargo or upfitted as a camper/work van. The front brakes do approximately 70-80% of the braking on the FWD ProMaster, and the factory rotors and pads are not adequately sized for the vehicle weight. Brake pulsation/vibration when stopping appears as early as 15,000-25,000 miles. NHTSA has received numerous complaints about premature brake wear. The factory brake pads often last only 20,000-30,000 miles under heavy use. Rotor and pad replacement: $300-600 for both front axles.
Common Symptoms
Brake pedal pulsation when stopping
Steering wheel vibration during braking
Brake squeal or grinding noise
Longer stopping distances
Brake pedal feels soft or spongy
Visible scoring or grooves on rotors
Brake dust accumulation much heavier on front wheels
How to Fix
Replace warped rotors with upgraded aftermarket options: PowerStop Z36 Truck & Tow kit (K6539-36) includes drilled/slotted rotors and carbon-fiber ceramic pads designed for heavy vehicles ($250-350 for front axle). EBC Yellowstuff pads are another popular upgrade for heavy-use ProMasters. Machine the factory rotors only if they have adequate thickness remaining (minimum spec: 28mm). Flush brake fluid every 2 years (DOT 4). Proper break-in procedure for new pads/rotors is critical: 30 moderate stops from 35 mph with cooling between stops.
