PEELING PAINT. LEFT FRONT FENDER AND HOOD AT THIS TIME, ALTHOUGH, I'VE BEEN TOLD IT WILL CONTINUE TO OTHER AREAS.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, SUSPENSION, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, STRUCTURE
THIS TRUCK BODY STARTED BREAKING OUT BEHIND THE CAB SOON AFTER I BOUGHT IT. THE ENGINE HAS NEVER RAN RIGHT FROM DAY ONE. IT WAS IN THE DODGE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES BECAUSE OF POOR FUEL MILAGE, AND THEN DODGE FINALLY AGREED TO SEND THE TRUCK TO CUMMINS. CUMMINS FOUND THAT TRUCK HAD BAD MILAGE ALSO AND WROTE LETTER TO DODGE STATING THE PROBLEMS THEY FOUND. DODGE MORE OR LESS SAID TOUGH, DON'T BOTHER US! THE ENGINE HAD BOKEN PUSH ROD AT LOW MILAGE AND NOW AN INJECTOR MELTED TOP OUT OF PISTON RUINING THE ENGINE.

STEERING, STEERING:LINKAGES
DEFECTIVE TRACK-BAR ON 1995 DODGE RAM 2500 DIESEL TRUCK REPLACED FIRST TIME 11/07/00. AFTER 42,330 MILES; JUST REPLACED AGAIN ON 12/10/03, WITH 51,244 SHOWING AS TOTAL MILES DRIVEN. NEVER HEAVY WEIGHT ON TRUCK NOR OFF-ROAD ABUSE WHATEVER. *AK RECENT SUDDEN LACK OF STEERING CAPABILITY REQUIRED TOWING IN FOR REPAIR. SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES WERE AVERTED BECAUSE WE WERE CLOSE TO HOME, BUT WE ARE NOT HAPPY THAT ANOTHER REPAIR WAS NECESSARY FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AFTER SOME 8,000 MILES, AS WELL AS COST OF TOWING AND ALIGNMENT. VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR, AND THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL EXPENSE.

THE MECHANIC DISCOVERED THAT ALL OF THE WIRES THAT HAD COME FROM THE BACK OF THE FUSE PANEL HAD BEEN CUT VERY SHORT AND SPLICED INTO THE WIRING HARNESS THAT THE DEALER REPLACED. *SCC *JB
