2024 Ram 1500 — windshield replaced — does camera calibration matter? — second opinion before I spend money

WeekendDriver549Community StarterJun 17, 20262024 Ram 1500 LimitedCalifornia
2024 Ram 1500 Limited, about 34,500 miles. A new windshield is installed and there is no dash warning, but the shop recommends camera calibration.

If it were in my driveway, write temp, speed, and in-gear vs coast when the 2024 Ram 1500 does it — then decide on parts. Don't erase codes until someone who can help has seen them. Take it or leave it — that's what I'd do. Not trying to scare you — just skip the expensive first guess. If this is nothing, great. I want that in data.

Ask what changed right before it started. Two 2024 Ram 1500s can feel identical and have different causes, so measure before you copy someone else's repair. That's the branch I'd chase this week. This is from a 2024 Ram 1500 in California with 34,500 miles. If you share a photo of the worksheet, easier to sanity-check. That's coming from doing this as an owner, not a shop. Trying not to diagnose from the couch.

If it were in my driveway, get a real battery/charging test on the 2024 Ram 1500, not just resting voltage, before blaming a module. Don't erase codes until someone who can help has seen them. Time, temperature, and whether it's in gear are the notes that actually help a shop. Not trying to scare you — just skip the expensive first guess. If that fails I'll eat the diagnostic fee.

I wouldn't throw parts yet. If a shop can't duplicate it on the 2024 Ram 1500, bring a video plus freeze-frame data, not just a story. That's the branch I'd chase this week. Write the result down so the next test isn't a repeat of the last one. Only after sitting overnight so far.

You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. Keep sale price, fees, and rate as three different conversations. That's coming from doing this as an owner, not a shop. Parking it somewhere I can hear it better next time.
