problem #2

Jan 012001

Ram 2500 Sport Cummins 3.9L Diesel

  • Automatic transmission
  • 10 miles

THE TRUCK STEPPED OUT IN CURVES AND WANDERED CONSTANTLY. HAD TO BE HYPER VIGILA NT WHEN DRIVIING, CHECKED THE ALIGNMENT. IT WAS OK. AT 35,965 MI. A FRIEND INFORMED THAT EVERY DIESEL COMMING OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE HAD A DEFECTIVE STEERING GEAR BOX. I TOLD THE DEALER THE ROOT CAUSE AND THEY REPLACE THE GEAR BOX AND TWO TRACK BARS. THEY BILLED CHRYSLER FOR THE REPAIR. $2,500 .AFTER 36,000 I WOULD'VE HAD TO PAY FOR IT. IT NEVER REALLY STEERED VERY WELL EVEN AFTER THE REPAIR.

Ram 2500 Ram 2500 5.9L Diesel

  • Automatic transmission
  • 30,000 miles

Steering issue with the truck wandering. It is kind of white knuckle when pulling a load because of the wandering issue. The truck never had a good tight steering, but has been getting worse. I had new upper, and lower ball joints, front universals, track bar, and power steering pump installed. Had front end alignment, and still wanders. Scratching my head on what to try next. This is getting expensive, and frustrating to say the least.
