Consumer Description

ENGINE PROBLEM DUE TO OIL SLUDGE. HAD ENGINE CLEANED BY JIFFY LUBE DURING AN OIL CHANGE AFTER TECH SHOWED ME SLUDGE IN OIL CAP AND IN THE TUBE WHERE YOU POUR IN THE OIL. STARTED HAVING OIL PRESSURE PROBLEMS AND TOOK IT TO DEALER. THEY SAY THAT DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE TO ENGINE BEARINGS AND MAYBE RODS AND THAT AT THE BEST IT WILL COST $4000 TO FIX. NOT FOR SURE IF THEY WILL COVER IT UNDER THE WARRENTY EVEN THOUGH TRUCK IS NOT 2 YEARS OLD AND UNDER THE MILAGE. I HAVE SEEN ALL OVER THE INTERNET THAT DODGE TRUCKS ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH OIL SLUDGE. I HOPE THAT YOU CAN HELP.*AK
