| Description of the problem | The next toyota is in your lap four times now my dodge truck with a cummings diesel motor has had a fuel line burst and spray fuel all over a hot motor and exhaust pipes. The last time, this resulted in a fire on the underside of the truck that i put out with a fire extinguisher. Dodge claims they know nothing about this problem, yet the cummings diesel forums on the internet have thousands of posts on this problem. Http://www. Cumminsforum. Com/forum/3rd-gen-powertrain/189520-guys-check-your-4th-injector-line-sticky. Html dodge says they can only sell me a new part >>> cummings says too bad, because they sell their product to dodge with no warranty >>> i have been stranded on the side of deserted highways four times, the last one with a fire. Some family is going to burn up with this problem, and i will be right there at the congressional hearings with all of my communications. Please help before this leads to death ( if not already ). |
