| Description of the problem | I have a 2004 dodge ram 1500 with a hemi it has a stalling and idle drop problem. I have almost hit other car due to the engine stalling loss of steering and brakes. I have taken my truck in had the upgrade done stalling was less now only twice but idle drops to 300 rpm and bounces around truck shakes like its going to stall then smoothes out and rpms go back to 1100 or so. Dealer just keeps telling me they are working direct with chrysler corp on this and they will keep in touch. They have yet to call me i call them once a week to see what is going on and get the same story the are working on it...*jb |
