STEERING
I INSTALLED CHRYSLER PARTS KIT 52122362AL, UPGRADED STEERING LINKAGE DRAG LINK TIE ROD, AND 68039930AA PITMAN ARM ON MY 2001,5 DODGE RAM 2500 4X4 TRUCK. IT EASILY REPLACED EXISTING PARTS NEEDING ONLY A DIFFERENT STEERING DAMPER TO REPLACE THE ORIGINAL PARTS. I HAVE SINCE BEEN LEARNED THAT THE STEERING LINKAGE DRAG LINK PARTS ARE RECALLED AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN INSTALLED ON 2003-2008 TRUCKS. RECALLS I AM AWARE OF ARE H46 AND N62. MY LEFT TIE ROD END BALL STUD HAS NOT BROKEN YET BUT THE POSSIBILITY IS VERY SERIOUS. I THINK DODGE RAM 1500/2500/3500 SERIES TRUCKS FROM MODEL YEARS 2001 AND 2002 SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS.

NHTSA #17V-821 THE RAM SERVICE CENTERS ARE STATING THAT DODGE HAS NOT SENT OUT THE PARTS AND COMPUTER UPDATE TO FIX THE RECALL. I CALLED DODGE AND THEY SAID AROUND AUGUST 2018 BUT THAT CAN CHANGE. THE SERVICE CENTER RECEIVED UPDATES ON THE 2018 AND 2017 MODELS BUT NOTHING ON THE LATER MODELS. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS RECALL NOT BEING COMPLETED IN A TIMELY MANNER WHICH COULD RESULT IN A DEATH IF TRUCK COMES OUT OF GEAR AND ROLLS. I HAVE BEEN CALLING EVERY MONTH SINCE RECALL ISSUED BUT STILL UNABLE TO GET THE ISSUE FIXED IN A TIMELY MANNER.

INFAMOUS HEMI TICKING; ON COLD START THERE'S A PRONOUNCED TICKING THAT GOES AWAY AFTER ABOUT 15 MIN OF RUNNING. FOUND EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLT HAD SHEERED; HAD IT REPLACED WITH NEW BOLTS AND GASKET BUT THE TICKING IS STILL THERE. MECHANICS SAY THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE HOWEVER THE TICKING IS RIDICULOUSLY ANNOYING. READ THAT IT MAY BE EXHAUST LEAK HOWEVER, NOTHING CAN BE FOUND THAT NEEDS REPAIR. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR NOW.
