I have had repeated problems with this truck, even after repair repairs done by the ram dealership. currently, i am experiencing a failure of the high-pressure fuel system. i know it is on recall for other diesel engines, and i believe that this engine should be a part of that recall.
"factory rear window/brake light leak allowed water to flood the interior cabin, destroying the rf hub module. this caused the vehicle to dynamically stall at 40 mph in traffic, creating a severe safety hazard."
As i was driving the cooling fans started roaring. about 30 seconds later the service power steering light flashed and i lost all power steering. as i was trying to pull over the steering came back intermittently. this almost made me wreck because i would be tugging on the wheel to turn and then all of a sudden have almost no resistance and violently turn.
