ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT DATE OR MILEAGE AS THE FIRST FAILURE'S WERE LOW IN FREQUENCY. THE TRUCK DIES AFTER FILLING UP WITH FUEL. YOU CAN BE UP TO SPEED BUT NORMALLY HAPPENS SHORTLY AFTER FILL UP AND ENTERING TRAFFIC. NO TROUBLE LIGHTS ARE SHOWING ON THE DASH AND TRUCK NORMALLY STARTS BACK UP FAIRLY EASILY, ALTHOUGH SOUNDS FLOODED. NOW THE TRUCK DOES THIS AT ALMOST EVERY FILL UP. NO CODE DIAGNOSTICS ARE SHOWING. I HAVE REPLACED THE EGR AND SPARK PLUGS, NO CHANGE.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE DASH BOARD STARTED CRACKING ROUGHLY 4 TO 5 YEARS AFTER PURCHASE. I PURCHASED NEW IN 2000. IT CONTINUED TO CRACK AND FALL APART AS TIME WENT ON. I HAD TO REMOVE THE DASH BOARD IN ORDER TO REPLACE THE HEATING CORE. DURING THAT REPAIR IT SIMPLY, COMPLETELY CRACK AND BROKE APART. IN ORDER TO GET THE DASH BOARD BACK IN THE TRUCK, I HAD TO GLUE IT TOGETHER USING ALUMINUM SHEET METAL UNDER THE DASH IN ORDER TO HAVE SOMETHING SOLID TO GLUE THE PIECES BACK TOGETHER WITH. I NEVER SAW ANYTHING LIKE IT IN ALL MY LIFE. IT'S THE WORST DASH BOARD I HAVE EVER SEEN AND IT WILL KEEP MY FROM BUYING ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT UNLESS CHRYSLER INSTALLS A BETTER DASH FREE OF CHARGE.
