The "check gauges" indicator alerted and the oil pressure went to zero. The vehcile sputtered and the engine stopped. I found out from my mechanic that the engine had siezed and would cost $5000 to repair.I have already had two transmissions replaced at a cost of $3,300 and cannot put anymore into this defective vehicle. 2000 dodge1500 Ram 4X4.
