Description of the problem | Backing truck in garage, steering tie rod broke cleanly off, lost all steering. No damage (other then broken parts). This is a known issue at dodge / ram but there is no recall issued covering all 4x4 truck (4x2 does not have this issue). Reading on forums (cumminsforum. Com) and found out this is a issue that is fairly common but can creates very dangerous situations if happens at higher speeds. Truck is completely stock and goes to dealer for service every 6k miles. |
