problem #2

2009May 18

Ram 1500 Laramie 5.7L V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 30,700 miles

Took my truck in for 30,000 mile maintenance and to find out why my service engine light came on. Was told egr valve caused the engine service light to come on . Cost $370.00 Then to brighten my day I was told my rack and pinion was leaking and it couldn't be repaired had to be replaced. Cost $1,000 plus something, I stopped listening at this point. I pointed out that this truck has no where near the wear and tear to justify this and why would I spend that kind of money to replace the steering with the same garbage It was suggested that I should drive the truck more. I explained that my job takes me away from home about 8 months of the year and I couldn't take my truck with me.This is some of the lamest bs I have ever heard.

if anyone knows of after market steering systems for these trucks. Please let me know.
