Description of the problem	Was driving truck from store when i started hearing a loud tapping noise coming from my engine. I took it to mechanic and was told that the valve seats had dropped. I was told that this was a common problem with dodge ram 1500 trucks with 4. 7 l engines. I went to dodge dealership before going to mechanic and they told me my problem was that i had not changed my oil . I changed my oil every 5,000 miles on my own because everytime i would take my truck to the dealership to get oil changed they would charge me a couple of hundred dollars for other services. They would tell me that if i didn't get these other services performed that it would void out my warranty. Now i am stuck with a truck with 116,500 miles and i have to replace an expense motor.
