The P0302 diagnostic code on your 2024 Ram 1500 indicates cylinder 2 is experiencing misfires detected by the engine control module. The 2024 Ram 1500 offers multiple powertrains: the 5.7L Hemi V8, 3.0L EcoDiesel V6, and the new 3.0L Hurricane twin-turbo inline-6. Each has specific diagnostic considerations.
2024 Powertrain Options
The 5.7L Hemi produces 395 horsepower with eTorque mild hybrid. The Hurricane inline-6 offers 420 or 540 horsepower depending on tune. The EcoDiesel provides torque for towing. Cylinder 2 location varies: passenger bank on V8, rear bank on V6, second from front on inline-6.
Hemi MDS Considerations
The 5.7L Hemi uses Multi-Displacement System cylinder deactivation. MDS components can cause cylinder-specific misfires if they malfunction during transitions between V8 and V4 modes.
Hurricane I-6 Specifics
The new twin-turbo inline-6 is a first-year application in the Ram 1500. Check for TSBs on this advanced powertrain. Direct injection and twin-turbo configuration create specific maintenance needs.
Symptom Recognition
The full-size truck displays rough idle, vibration, and hesitation with misfires. Towing and hauling capability suffers. Check engine light accompanies the condition.
Warranty Coverage
Your 2024 Ram 1500 is covered under Ram's warranty. Document symptoms and have dealer diagnosis for proper coverage.
