Description of the problem	I have a 2002 dodge ram 1500 4. 7l 2wd quad cab. On october 30th, my vehicle decided it was ganna let go of three sensors all at once. An ignition, timing, and ?? Hyac?? , cost me almost 750$ in parts and labor at my local dealership. One (1) week later my truck began to overheat. Upon inspection, i found a hairline fracture in the radiator fill reservoir stem. I came to the conclusion that the overheating was due to a pressurization problem. After that was fixed and the truck was running my radiator exploded under normal operating temperatures. After the radiator and the water pump and thermostat were replaced and i had the truck running again i drove down the road to provide sufficient circulation of the fluids and out of the sudden string of events it started to emit white smoke and i was running out of radiator fluid all due to a ruptured head gasket. After replacing all of the top end engine gaskets and the cylinder head bolts, i started up my truck again and it ran great for about two (2) minutes and grinded, choked, tinged, panged, banged and finally sputtered to a stop. I started from the top of the engine,... Again.... And found that my cam shaft gear had spun on the camshaft and sheared the cam lobe that is suppose to lock it into place. I havent touched it since and all together my family has payed 1700$ just to have a broken vehicle in our driveway. *cn
