When going over bumps i heard a loud clunking noise. As I was rotating the tires I noticed that the shock and arm had oil all over them. Took the truck in and dodge replaced the one that went bad.

Took a round trip from Chicago to St.Louis. Next day I notice a small puddle on the ground inside BOTH front tires. Front shocks are leaking fluid. I know Illinois roads are not the best in the nation but comon! This truck has never hauled and the worse road it has been on is my driveway. I have the Big Horn Edition which appears to have special shocks which are a combo shock and strut. These of course cost twice as much as a normal truck shock and twice as long to replace. Have had two other front end problems and have been a Dodge PU owner since the late 70's. Seriously thinking of going to Ford on the next vehicle.....damn shame.
