problem #2

2009Jul 22

Ram 1500 SLT 4.7L V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 23,247 miles

This is a great vehicle how ever the engine light keeps coming on and the guys at the Electric Garage where I bought it new can seem to find the issue. Also if you have to stop just right at light it will lurch forward and then promtly die. That is MOST annoying!
Still the Electric Garage can't seem to find any codes etc.

(reported on)

Ram 1500 SLT 5.7

  • Automatic transmission
  • 21,718 miles

At 21,718 miles the rear end in my 1500 4x4 went out. Severe clunking when turning. I took the truck to the dealer. They stated that the spyder gears had worn prematurely sending metal through out the differential. They replaced all internal parts per the coverage of my 36000 mi. warranty. The vehicle was in the shop for 3 days.
