WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH, I CROSSED A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD AND LOST ALL CONTROL OF THE 1996 DODGE RAM 1500 4X4 PICKUP. IT SHOOK ALL THE STUFF OFF OF MY SEAT AS WELL AS MY CD HOLDER. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I AM AT A LOSS AS TO HOW TO LOOK FOR THE PROBLEM. I LOVE THIS TRUCK BUT I HAVE GONE THROUGH TWO WHEEL BEARINGS AND A TIE ROD END AND I HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR A YEAR.... I WANT TO KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR
VEHICLE IS ON FOURTH ENGINE AND ONLY 44,000 MILES ON PRESENT ENGINE. DEALER SAYS ENGINE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. EXCESSIVE BLOW BY FROM ENGINE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. SENSORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED BUT PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. ALSO THE TRUCK WANDERS ON THE ROAD, AND HAS A RUMBLING RATTLE NOISE ON FRONT PASSENGER SIDE THAT SOUNDS LIKE ITS COMING FROM THE SHOCKS AREA. BUT MY MECHANIC SAYS SHOCKS ARE OK. THE DEALER DID NOT CHECK INTO PROBLEM WHEN I PURCHASED THE TRUCK BUT IT IS LISTED AS COMPLAINT WHEN THE FIRST ENGINE WAS REPLACED. HAVE REPLACED TRACKING BAR, U-JOINTS, REAR SPRINGS, STABILIZER SHOCK & TIRES. WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS ON HIGHWAY VEHICLE JERKS THE STEERING WHEEL TO SIDE RAIL FAST GIVING A FISHTAIL EFFECT. DRIVE SHAFT HAS ALSO BEEN REPLACED. *LA
