Consumer Description

I OWN A 2003 DODGE RAM 1500 2X4. CLUTCH WAS REPLACED AT 36000 MILES, AND MOTOR WAS REBUILD AT 46000 MILES, BOTH TIMES UNDER WARRANTY. EACH TIME I' HAD THE OIL CHANGED THERE APPEARED TO BE A WHITE SUBSTANCE BUILDING UP ON THE OIL CAP AS IF IT WAS CONDENSATION. I NOW HAVE 88000 MILES AND HAVE A "TICKING. LIKE A VALVE STICKING, AND CONTINUES TO HAVE THIS WHITE SUBSTANCE. WHEN IT RAINS OR I GO THROUGH A PUDDLE OF WATER THE BELT STARTS TO SLIP AND ALL POWER IS LOST. *AK
