All Engine Complaints
WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH THE ENGINE CUT OUT. COULD BE THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. THE TRUCK IS A 2500 WITH AN 8.1L ENGINE. SIMILAR ISSUES THAT THE 2001 WAS RECALLED FOR. SAME ENGINE AND CPS AS THE 2001 BUT NOT INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AT VARIOUS SPEEDS.
THE ENGINE WILL DIE AT ANY TIME WITH OUT WARNING. THIS HAPPENS FAIRLY OFTEN. SOMETIMES AFTER TRYING TO RESTART IT WILL RESTART WITH NO DELAY AND OTHER TIMES IT WILL TAKE A FEW MINUTES. THEN IT WILL RUN NORMALLY FOR NO SPECIFIC AMOUNT OF TIME. THEN IT WILL DIE AGAIN. INCIDENCES MAY OCCUR HUNDREDS OF MILES IN BETWEEN. THE DEALER SAYS THEY DON'T KNOW WHY IT WOULD DO THIS AND IT WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT HAPPENS SPONTANEOUSLY AND IT USUALLY RESTARTS QUICKLY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND TURNING THE VEHICLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD WHEN THE ENGINE DIES IS VERY HARD TO DO. *TR
EXHAUST LEAK IN THE ENGINE FOUND MANIFOLD BOLTS WERE BROKE. *TR
