I JUST BOUGHT A DODGE RAM SPORT 1500 4X4 TWO WEEKS AGO FROM A DEALER. I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK AND MY OIL PRESSURE GAGE DROPS TO 0 OUT OF NO WHERE. THEN POPS UP BACK TO NORMAL THAN FLOATED IN THE MIDDLE THAN AGAIN.. BOOM!!! BACK TO ZERO NEEDS A NEW OIL PUMP $1200.

THEN I FIND OUT IT IS CAUSED FROM THE SLUDGE SO JUST A MATTER OF TIME TILL THE PUMP GOES OUT AGAIN......

THEN I GET ON THE INTERNET TO FIND THIS SITE ONLY TO FINDOUT EVERYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD HAS THE SAME SH*TTY PROBLEM AS ME.. SO DODGE .........F**K YOU!!!!!!!!!!

I bought my truck used from a small time dealer. It seemed to be in good shape inside and out and ran great. I change my oil every 3,000 miles faithfully because i know how expensive repairs can be if you abuse a vehicle. It all started with a knocking when i would first start it. I brought it to the garage and they said it was nothing to worry about. A few months later i loose all oil pressure and blow my engine. The dodge dealer said they found sludge and a blown oil pump. The estimate price the dodge dealer gave me was over seven thousand dollars! Who the hell can afford that well making payments on a truck like this? To make a long story short i found a used motor at a salvage yard for four thousand dollars instead of seven. This is still an outrage that a motor with just over 100,000 miles blows. Watch out if your thinking about buying one of theses trucks im not the first to have this problem and i wont be the last.
