problem #2

Jun 302003

Ram 2500 4WD 8-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 57,000 miles
I have a 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 with a 5.9L engine. It has 57000 miles on it. For the third time in 3 years it has developed an intake manifold leak. This causes it to lose power at highway speeds and consume oil. This problem occurred at 35000, 47000 and 57000 miles. Chrysler paid for the first 2 repairs but will not pay for this one or any others that may occur. Many owners of these trucks with this motor have informed me that they have had similar problems yet everyone associated with Chrysler continues to tell me that it is not a common problem. I'm looking for help in pressuring Chrysler to take care of this common problem. Thank you

Ram 2500 Diesel

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
While driving, vehicle completely stalled due to a fractured fuel line, which also caused fuel leakage. The cracked banjo fitting allows air to enter the fuel return line causing the morning start to be difficult. The fuel tank sender had been replaced three times. The fuel gauge also reads empty.
