| Description of the problem | Driving home from a trip at 65mph #4 injector line breaks covers complete truck with diesel. I contacted dodge with safety concern they say they didn't know about the problem and would take it into consideration for future products. This is problem will kill people now if they are not informed of the problems with there truck and they catch on fire. Dodge and cummings has changed the way the replacement fuel lines are made to stop them from breaking but won't let people know ahead of time that there's could break . There is listing after listing in the internet about this problem and dodge can't keep up with the amount of replacement lines. |
