| Description of the problem | The truck has a issue when starting up. It feels like the truck is not getting fuel, giving a high rpm and a feel like the engine is going to cut off and it does. This also happens when taking off at a stop light, going around a curve, and starting to move the truck. I have been to dealer and like always, can't find wrong in truck. I have replaced crank,map,air,speed,tps and nothing works. I also replaced o2 sensor,plugs, coil packs, battery, air filter, replaced throttle body, and purge. Nothing works. Why doesn't dodge see there is a issue and find a solution. There are many dodge rams with this issue. If dodge wants people to buy there truck then help fix the issues with the other dodge ram's. Oh i also called dodge corp and of course they haven't heard of any issue. That i can't go by!!! |
