problem #2

Jun 011998

Ram 2500 6-cyl Diesel

  • Manual transmission
  • 24,000 miles
After filling vehicle with fuel the fuel gauge will read empty. The fuel-sending unit is the cause of improper fuel gauge reading.

problem #1

Oct 012002

Ram 2500 4WD 6-cyl Diesel

  • Automatic transmission
  • 65,000 miles
Fuel guage is broken for the second time. First was under warranty in 1999. The sending unit was replaced. Now it is broken again but the dealer says it is out of warranty and will cost $$$. after speaking with other owners and some mechanics I found this to be a common problem and feel it sould be a recall item.
