problem #2

Ram 1500 SLT 5.2L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 50,000 miles

Just wondering why Dodge can't manufacture an auto body that live as long as their drive trains. I love this truck and with 67,000 on it now, there is significant rust on both front doors and rust starting on the rear cab doors too. Too bad Dodge didn't do a recall for this. I will definately look at another brand of truck when shopping for a new one this year.
