ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
I'M NOT SURE IF I SHOULD BE REPORTING THIS HERE BUT I'VE ENCOUNTERED THE ENGINE SHUTTING DOWN AT 45MPH AND ABOVE SPEEDS FOR LESS THAN A SECOND. INVARIABLY I'M AT 55-60MPH ON CRUISE CONTROL WHEN THIS OCCURS. IT IS UNEXPECTED. NORMALLY ONLY ONE INCIDENT BETWEEN STARTING UP AND SHUTTING DOWN ENGINE BUT HAVE HAD TWO ABOUT SEVERAL MINUTES APART A COUPLE OF TIMES. I'VE TOLD MY DEALER SEVERAL TIMES WHEN THEY'RE FIXING OTHER THINGS BUT THEY'RE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE IT AND THUS UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEMO. IT IS OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY NOW THAN DURING THE FIRST YEAR OF MY TRUCK PURCHASE AND MY WARRANTY EXPIRES 1/1/00 SO I'M SORTOF CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT I SHOULD DO. BECAUSE OF YOUR RESOURCES I FIGURED I'D LET YOU KNOW AND MAYBE GET SOME HELP REGARDING THE PROBLEM BEFORE THE ENGINE DIES COMPLETELY. THANK YOU.

#711586September 19, 1999
POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
THERE IS A BUZZING NOISE IN THE TRANSMITION WHEN PUT IN REVERSE AFTER A COLD START. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK IN 4 TIMES NOW TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THEY SAY ALL THE TRUCKS HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS A NON HARMFUL PROBLEM THAT A MODIFICATION HAS BEEN MADE FOR. THE HAVE PREFORMED THE MODIFICATION AND IT HASN'T FIXED THE PROBLEM. I AM BRINGING THE TRUCK IN AGAIN FOR THEM TO DO THE MOD AGAIN. MY PROBLEM IS THAT I AM ABOUT OUT OF WARRENTY, AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THIS IS A HARMFUL PROBLEM. I HAVE MECHANIC FRIENDS THAT AGREE WITH ME WHEN I SAY IT SOUNDS LIKE THE TRANSMITION ISN'T GETTING FLUID WHEN IT IS FIRST PUT IN REVERSE. IF WHAT MYSELF AND THE MECHANIC FRIENDS I HAVE ARE RIGHT, THE TRANSMITION WILL EVENTUALLY BREAK. THERE ARE ALOT OF PEOPLE I KNOW THAT HAVE DODGES, AND NONE OF THEM HAVE THIS PROBLEM. WHY CAN"T THEY FIX THIS PROBLEM?
