Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 5.2 V-8 ENGINE. THE ENGINE HAS VERY POOR PERFORMANCE DUE TO TAPPING VALVES AND LIFTERS, WHEN TRYING TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY THE TRUCK LOSSES POWER SO I'M AFRAID THIS MAY BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE BY CAUSING A ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO CHRYSLER DODGE AND THEY DO NOTHING WE AS CONSUMERS REALLY NEED THE HELP. *TR
