STEERING:GEAR BOX (OTHER THAN RACK AND PINION)
RIGHT AFTER PURCHASING THIS TRUCK THE DEALER REPLACED THE STEERING GEAR DUE TO EXCESSIVE CENTER POSITION PLAY. THE REPLACEMENT FELT BETTER, BUT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AFTER 200 TO 300 MILES. UPON RETURNING TO THE DEALER AGAIN, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG AFTER THEY TEST DROVE THE TRUCK. THE STEERING GEAR HAS A COMPLETE LACK OF PRELOAD TORQUE AND OVER-CENTER TORQUE AND DOES NOT MEET THE SPECIFICATIONS IN THE SERVICE MANUAL. THE DEALER DID NOT CHECK THIS, BUT I DID AFTER MY SECOND VISIT. I HAVE LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE.

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
THE 5TH GEAR IN THE TRANSMISSION HAS A RETAINING NUT THAT BACKS OFF AND ALLOWS THE 5TH GEAR ASSEMBLY TO BECOME DISENGAGED WHILE RIDING DOWN THE ROAD. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE DEALER I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS FROM TOWING WITH THE VEHICLE IN 5TH GEAR. THERE IS NOTHING IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL ABOUT THIS BEING AN ISSUE. I ALSO CONTACTED SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE AND THEY HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. ALSO THE DEALER WANTED $1200 DOLLARS TO MAKE THE REPAIR AND I SAID NO THAT WAS TOO HIGH. THEY CALLED ME BACK LATER AND SAID IT WOULD BE $760 DOLLARS. I STILL SAID NO AND THAT I WAS COMING TO INSPECT THE BAD PARTS. UPON ARRIVAL THEY SHOWED ME SEVERAL PARTS AND SAID THAT DODGE MADE THEM REPLACE CERTAIN PARTS TO COVER ANY OTHER WARRANTY CLAIMS. THE ONLY PART DAMAGED WAS THE RETAINING NUT FOR THE 5TH GEAR AND THAT IS ALL THAT I WOULD ALLOW THEM TO REPLACE. THE FINAL COST FOR MY REPAIR WAS $460, MOST BEING LABOR. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT DODGE HAS HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS THAT THEY NOW HAVE REDESIGNED THE RETAINING NUT TO ELIMINATE THIS PROBLEM. TO ME FOR THIS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THAT HAS REQUIRED PART REDESIGN, IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A SAFETY RECALL. IF SOME ONE HAD BEEN BEHIND ME THE NIGHT MINE FAILED THEY WOULD HAVE REAR-ENDED ME. DODGE IS MAKING MONEY ON REPAIRS THAT THEY CAUSED FROM USE OF FAULTY PARTS.*AK
