Ram 2500 2500 Cummins Diesel

  • Automatic transmission
  • 35,000 miles

in my opinion this should of been a safety recall, when i took my truck in for my NYS inspection it failed due to bad upper and lower ball joints and 4 bad u joints. I made an appointment with dodge to have the problem addressed and they came back with a song and dance that yes there is a problem well DUHH I didn't bring my truck in for my health. i then was told I would have to find my own way home my warranty does not cover a loaner car till the second day what a crock of $hit i arranged for a ride home a day later i was called and told that this repair is under my warranty but will cost me 400.00 due to the fact that the hubs are frozen on the truck this is my problem why? if dodge had built the truck with decent parts in the first place never would of had to go in no grease fittings why?? anyway i paid the money for the repair and now the u joint is going again I will never purchase another dodge product in my life paid 45,000.00 for crap

Ram 2500 2500 HD Diesel

  • Manual transmission
  • 52,000 miles

to replace front ball joints at 52000 mile is beyond ridiculous, This truck is only used on the highway, and is very seldom carrying a load.. I love the cummins engine, but It will be the last truck I buy from Dodge.
