When purchased at the dealers driveway, idle dropped extremely low then surged, salesman said that was normal for diesels, drove from that dealership to home with same problems almost at every stop, took to dealership again, they changed fuel filter, no change, then changed fuel pump, no change, then said they think it might be injectors or fuel rails, I had enough asked for the keys they still made me pay $600 plus to remove the vehicle even though they couldn't find the problem, shortly after that I started getting alot of blow by from number 6 cylinder, the PCM stopped functioning normally so I had to replace that, shortly after that I had to replace the turbo charger. Recently I was driving it and it started smoking extremely bad and just quit, I opened the hood and there was oil everywhere, had to have it towed home where it still sits as of this day. I have heard so many bad things about this vehicle between the years of 2006 and 2007, I think it only fair the dealer should stand up for their product.

2006 Ram 3500 with 5.9 cummins. Nearly the same as all the other reports here. 9pm, major highway, entire family in cars, kids asleep, start smelling raw diesel fumes. Big cloud of mist behind truck, about mile further "check engine" light came on. Nearly made it home, but died suddenly and only place to go was median in 4 lane highway. Huge cloud of steam out of engine compartment smelling like diesel. Several gallons of diesel pumped all over hot engine, exhaust, entire underside of truck, body of truck, highway, major mess. Vehicle just out of warranty. Towed it home after a harrowing ordeal getting a wrecker there and trying to not get hit by cars. Non-dealer mechanic diagnosed what appears to be a very common problem--cracked injector line-- despite only seeing a few complaints here (google "cracked #4 injector line). He agrees, atomized diesel touching a hot turbo could ignite, and we would have had a vehicle fire and become a flaming bomb with the entire family in the car. Dodge and cummins should be ashamed. They have ignored this, and it will take a death or serious injury before they get sued and fix things. Consumers who bailed out Dodge are left hanging with expensive repairs, and their families stranded in the middle of nowhere. Nauseating.

I was driving my 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 5.9 cummins turbo diesel pickup at approximately 60 M. P.H. when I started smelling diesel fuel fumes. I looked in my outside rear view mirrors and could see what appeared to be a mist spraying behind the vehicle. I began to look for a safe place to pull off the road as I was pulling a trailer behind me. Just before I pulled off the road, the check engine light came on. When I stopped, I could see a mist coming from the engine compartment. I opened the hood and noticed there was diesel fuel sprayed under the engine compartment and also underneath the vehicle. There was fuel dripping from underneath the engine compartment where it sprayed heavily. Upon looking further, I noticed there was a broken fuel line that caused raw fuel to be sprayed in the engine compartment including directly onto the engine and underneath the vehicle onto the exhaust system. It appears this is a common problem and is usually the #4 fuel line. I feel this is a fire hazard and could be very dangerous to the driver and/or passengers and other vehicles on the road.

My truck went in to dealer with fuel problems. They said there was contaminated fuel, water in fuel. I told them the water in fuel light never came on, but they denied my warranty claim. I noticed there was a recall on my truck for the defective water in fuel light. They still deny my claim and are charging me $9000.
