problem #1

Aug 272014

Ram 1500 LS 3.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 100,100 miles

Vehicle full of grand kids and 102 degrees heat, no place to pull over on high bridge. Pulled over with steam and lots of heat. Very lucky no major damage to engine. Cooled it down and got it towed. Again shop says this is a problem he has seen many times with the Dodge trucks. This shop is not my regular. Need to know how long these parts are expected to last, no sign of leaks prior to this.
