| Description of the problem | 2004 dodge ram 2500 diesel pickup all six injectors have went out twice and chrysler has refused t do anything about it. The first time they went out the pickup naturally died and the power steering went out at 75 mph on a curve in north dakota causing a near accident . As a result when the injectors went out it filled my crankcase with fuel which poses a possible explosion factor. Chryser blamed it on my chip but it happened again with out the chip leading me to believe there is an obvious design flaw that could lead to the possible death of the operator. *jb |
