I bought my 2004 dam ram 4.7 4x4 1.5 years ago. Early on I noticed when I tow something that the temperature gauge would rise above normal. I had to turn on the heater and fan to full in order to get the engine to cool down. A few days ago the check engine light came on. I went to a service place and they put it on the computer for me. They said the #8 cylinder was not firing. I replaced the #8 coil and spark plug and they cleared the check engine light. Well, the check engine light came back on and they say it still says the #8 cylinder is misfiring. Now on Monday the 22nd of june, I had to go to Indiana to work(5 hrs from my home). About 2 hrs into the trip I noticed the temperature gauge going way up again. I turned on the heater full blast even though it was 94 degrees outside and this seemed to lower the gauge but it is still high. Here I am 5 hrs from home and I am reading about these problems. Count me in on a class action suit.

My Dodge Ram has everything new inside for the coolant system, you name it I did, how ever I did find out that engine sludge will make it over heat as well if you don't have it flushed out.
Don't know what to do now, tried trading it in but was told that I have minus equity in the vehicle and thanks to the dealer I paid way to much for it.
