Ram 1500 Lone Star 4.7L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 119,000 miles

I don't drive my truck hard at all. Ride my bike and bus to work most days.

119k miles after 10 years and the wheel bearing starting to give off a super noisy grinding sound. I never towed anything in the truck and never loaded the back of the truck with more than a bed and some bicycles.

Dealership billed me $2600 for the wheel bearing overhaul. I am still paying it off with payments.

Multiple other issues too that I have to submit individually as reports on this site.

Ram 1500 SLT 5.7L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 21,748 miles

Vehicle now has 206,000 kilometers - and is on the third hub and bearing, always on the drivers side front in a 4x4.

I have had 6 of the new style dodges since 1997 - fortunately 2 of them were stolen. I had two good ones with Cummins diesel but when I didnt need the diesel anymore I went with the 08 with a Hemi and the ram jam package. Love the engine - you can hear the truck rusting out in the driveway over night, I'm afraid to drive it anymore because every time I do something else mechanical fails. This truck has been serviced at the dealer by the book since new.

With 11 transfer case failures, three hubs, plus rear end twice and body rusting out, Ive had enough. No question, last chrysler product I will ever own.
