problem #2

Ram 1500 8-cyl

  • 20,463 miles
The power control module and body control modules blew out twice within the first 4000 miles of the trucks life. The leaky intake manifold was detected after several complaints of a tapping noise in the engine when accelerating. Still not fixed vehicle still has real bad tapping in the engine. Truck died while driving down the road. Left me stranded. Diagnosis was that the fuel pump module went out. Electrical problems with the vehicle also shorted out the cassette player. I have also heard strange buzzing noises in the cab while driving. Took back tot he dealer and they said they could not find anything wrong. Vehicle is still not running properly. **dimsii IVOQ entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis*734309
