| Description of the problem | Driving my 06 dodge ram mega cab 2500 5. 9l diesel, the #4 fuel line cracked directly behind the nut on top of the engine. This happened in dec 09 and happened again in jan 11. This caused a few gallons of fuel to leak onto the hot engine which could have caused a fire due to the distance i had to drive (no services near for 15 miles in the middle of alaskan winter). Truck was towed to the local dodge dealer and part was replaced since engine was still under warranty. This time the part is 64. 00 dollars and labor is 130. 00. |
