Ram 2500 5.9L Turbo Diesel
I bought the truck with 104K miles on it. Come winter time when i needed heat we checked the obvious, thermostat...the thermostat was modified (the top was cut). We replaced it. Then it started over heating and there was antifreeze everywhere. After further research and about $250 worth of antifreeze we found that the #53 block had a manufacturer defect and would crack. I had to call straight to cumins and talk to them directly and all they did was cover the price of the block which was about $1800 i cover the rest which was about 5K because i didn't have a warranty.
