problem #6

Ram 3500 4WD 10-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 50,000 miles
My 1996 V10 Dodge Ram 3500 pickup had 3 catalytic converters plug up in a 4 year period due to rear injectors being plugged. There is no fuel filter in line and the screen in the injectors plugs over the course of about a year. At a replacement cost of $600, the dealership is not motivated to eliminate the problem.
