| Description of the problem | We have had a fuel problem issue with this truck since april of 2005 it bucks so hard it bruises you. We have replace everything possible and it still happens. They say it is water in fuel but it is not that. We have had several high pressure injector lines break. One caused a fire, diesel was going everywhere. We had several break after that. They have no clue why these injectors are breaking but we owe to much to trade in. It is just ashamed that you can not go anywhere safe in a 42,000 truck. We have stressed our concerns with dodge they said not there problem . *nm |
