| Description of the problem | I have a 2003 dodge ram 1500 that has several problems since i got it. The most recent is wheel bearing failure. It only has 33,000 miles on. I had to search for a to find a replacement. Everybody kept telling me they were out do to the many other failures with this component. Luckily i wasn't going down the road at a higher speed when the wheel stopped turning, could of been a whole lot worse. Truck was down for almost a week because of the backorder on this part. |
