Ram 1500 SLT 4.7L

After reading all the complaints, I feel lucky to have gotten over 150,000 mi. on the truck. (not that lucky)! List of problems: Heater core went out, then condenser fan went out, then the heater core again, then the radiator went (sludge) all scheduled maintenance was on time and performed by the dealer. Now the truck is blowing white smoke from the tail-pipe (sometimes), sipping anti-freeze and water at about a gallon a week, engine sometimes decides to die at stop signs. I think that when the engine over heated last year it cracked the head gasket. Toyota or any other maker, here I come
