problem #1

Mar 272007

Ram 2500 4WD 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 7,000 miles
Found fuel line lock clip rotted and half was gone. This clip locks the font and rear fuel lines together at the O ring sealed disconnect. (from the engine fuel rail half to the tank half of the fuel line).note: 2003 Dodge's use a stainless clip. The one on this 2002 couldn't have been made out of stainless. This 2002 pick up has only 7,000 miles on it. This failure could have started a gasoline fire. Ordered a new clip from Dodge dealer. Don't have much of the old part but can try to get some pictures and salvage what's left.
