This is the approximate timeframe of the first occurrence of the battery being drained. We have to replace the battery approximately every 18 months. We have taken it in for diagnostics but the repair person is always mystified.

Ram 1500 ES 4.7L

  • Automatic transmission

When stopping, the charge meter goes into discharge momentarily and often the engine stalls. It typically restarts without problem. This problem has gone on for 4 years. I have checked the alternator and replaced the battery and the problem persists.
