1995 DODGE RAM Engine And Engine Cooling Problems

TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS - NOT SAFE WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC! 1995 DODGE RAM PICKUP. *AK THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE OIL PUMP AS WELL. *SC

THE EZRA VALVE . INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET WAS REPLACED. IN AUGUST 2002 THE INTAKE MANIFOLD FAILED AGAIN. INTAKE MANIFOLD WAS REPLACED THREE TIMES. *AK THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET WAS LEAKING WATER OUT THE BACK AND THE LEFT SIDE. *TC

THIS TRUCK BODY STARTED BREAKING OUT BEHIND THE CAB SOON AFTER I BOUGHT IT. THE ENGINE HAS NEVER RAN RIGHT FROM DAY ONE. IT WAS IN THE DODGE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES BECAUSE OF POOR FUEL MILAGE, AND THEN DODGE FINALLY AGREED TO SEND THE TRUCK TO CUMMINS. CUMMINS FOUND THAT TRUCK HAD BAD MILAGE ALSO AND WROTE LETTER TO DODGE STATING THE PROBLEMS THEY FOUND. DODGE MORE OR LESS SAID TOUGH, DON'T BOTHER US! THE ENGINE HAD BOKEN PUSH ROD AT LOW MILAGE AND NOW AN INJECTOR MELTED TOP OUT OF PISTON RUINING THE ENGINE.

Mileage: 17,000

THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING.*JB

INTERMITTENTLY IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, THE PEDAL BECOMES HARD RESULTING IN EXTENDED STOPPING. THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUE ON THE VEHICLE MAKE AND MODEL; HOWEVER THIS VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED DUE TO THE VIN.

NOW MY AIR CONTIONER HAS A MUSTY SMELL AND DOES NOT BLOW OUT COLD AIR,

THE PROBLEM WITH THIS DODGE RAM PICK-UP IS ENGINE STALLING. IT CAN HAPPEN UP TO 20 TIMES ON ONE DAY BUT MAY NOT HAPPEN FOR A WEEK OR TWO IN BETWEEN. THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS WHEN TURNING BECAUSE WITHOUT THE POWER STEERING IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO COMPLETE THE TURN. *MJS
