| Description of the problem | I was driving my 2009 ram 1500 home from work and i heard a noise from the back over bumps, and when stopping. I brought it into the shop the next morning and discovered the front of fuel tank was hanging down, this was due to the frame rusting out where the fuel tank strap attached. Also inspected was the frame where the rear strap attached is also almost rusted through. I did a search online and found out there was many owners with the same complaint |
