all i have to say is dodge need to learn how to make a truck that will be worth the 20 to 30 thousand dollars that you pay for it with out having to put half that much back in to it in transmissions and sensors and what ever else there is

Ram 1500 5.9L V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 85,015 miles

Works for a couple of weeks and then out of nowhere its will stall when I try to start it. It also stalls while I'm driving which causes me to lose my steering ability. Once it has been ran for about 5 minutes in the driveway it's good for a couple more weeks. But nothing can be found wrong by dodge techs..
