2006 Dodge RAM 1500 Engine Problems

“Without any warning, no gauge signs or anything, the truck just shut down. It would not start again and the engine seems to be locked up it will not crank over.

Not a good situation I was lucky that I was not on an interstate going 60 or 70 miles an hour.”

“Owner of j.p. Direct auto sales in florence, ky sold me a vehicle with odometer discrepancies. The owner sold the vehicle at a little over 133,000 miles but the odometer has never rolled over since I drove the truck off the lot. Furthermore, a mechanic performed an engine light reading that indicated an issue tripped around 146,000 miles. The owner is not owning up to the odometer discrepancy and making returning the truck very difficult.”

“About 2 1/2 years ago I was driving my truck on a state highway travelling around 55 to 60 MPH when the engine suddenly died.

Basically the engine was shot. Repair cost $3,000.00. It appears that a lot of other people have the same problem and it cannot be diagnosed without tearing into the engine.
