2005 Dodge Ram 3500 Owner Comments

problem #1

Nov 282011

Ram 3500 4x4 6.9L Turbo Diesel

  • Automatic transmission
  • 61,257 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

SUDDENLY ENGINE LOST POWER AND WAS VERY SLUGGISH ON THE TAKE OFF. PRIOMETER WOULD RISE RAPIDLY AND BOOST WOULD NOT EXCEED 10.

I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE INTERCOOLERS WERE DEFECTIVE IN THE 2005 MODELS AND WERE DISCONTINUED.

IS THEIR A RECALL OR IS THIS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

THANKS FOR THE HELP.

Update from Dec 7, 2011: PROBLEM WAS FIXED BY REPLACING THE INTERCOOLER WITH A NEW ALLIUMIN UNIT. THE OLD UNIT WAS PLASTIC AND HAD BLOWN A HOLE IN IT. UNIT COST $700 AND LABOR WAS $260. TRUCK RUNS GOOD NOW, BOOST IS UP AND TEMPERATURE IS DOWN.
