| Description of the problem | We purchased a 2003 ram 1500 3. 7, in 11/07, the truck has not been running right, we took it in and 2 plugs melted, into the coil, the dealer replaced the heads on that side. We picked up the truck. And the serpentine belt fell off and froze the water pump, blowing another head gasket. This isn't the first time the pump had been replaced. |
