NHTSA Complaint #10533407 — 2005 DODGE RAM 1500

AFTER PICKING UP MY TRUCK FROM MY LOCAL BODY SHOP ON THE MORNING OF JULY 28,2013 I DROVE BACK TO WORK VERY PLEASED HOW SHE LOOKED. THE TRUCK DROVE PERFECTLY FINE NO PROBLEMS AFTER GETTING OFF FROM WORK I PICKED UP YOUNGEST DAUGHTER FROM DANCE PRACTICE LESS THAN A MILE AWAY FROM MY JOB. AN HOUR LATER I PICKED MY ELDEST DAUGHTER FROM HER JOB LESS THAN THREE MILES FROM HOME AGAIN THE TRUCK DROVE FINE. ABOUT ONE HOUR LATER I DROVE 12 MILES TO DO A PLUMBING JOB WHEN OUTTA THE BLUE THE OIL INDICATOR STARTED ACTING ERRATIC IT WOULD GO FROM THE LOWEST POINT IN THE RED TO A SAFE LEVEL, AFTER SEVERAL TIMES OF THIS I PULLED TO A GAS STATION AND ADDED TWO QUARTS OF OIL AFTER I ADDED THE OIL I CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL IT WAS AT A SAFE LEVEL. I FINISHED THE JOB CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL BEFORE LEAVING THE CUSTOMER HOME IT WAS STILL OK. I GOT ON THE TURNPIKE DROVE ABOUT THREE MILES WHEN THE INDICATOR DROPPED TO THE RED LINE AND THE ENGINE JUST DIED. I STARTED THE ENGINE BUT GOT AN GOD AWFUL SOUND FROM UNDER THE HOOD I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND HAD THE TRUCK TOWED HOME. I HIRED A MECHANIC TO CHECK THE TRUCK FOR ME AND WAS INFORMED THAT I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE IN MY TRUCK. IS THERE A RECALL ON THE OIL PUMP OR THAT SYSTEM? *TR
