2005 DODGE RAM 2500 Engine And Engine Cooling Problems

EXCESSIVE VIBRATION SINCE PURCHASES TRUCK NEW IN 2005. REPLACED SERPENTINE BELT 5 TIMES AND TENSIONER PULLEY 2 TIMES, WHICH IS ABOUT EVERY 30K MILES. CHRYSLER AGREED TO PAY FOR THE LAST BELT AND PULLEY ACKNOWLEDGING SOMETHING WAS WRONG CAUSING THE ISSUE. THE ISSUE WAS NOT KNOWN UNTIL RECENTLY. THE VIBRATION OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME CAUSED SEVERAL BOLTS/MOUNTS TO WORK LOOSE AND ALLOWED PARTS TO SHIFT. THE COOLING FAN SHIFTED INTO THE RADIATOR BREAKING THE FAN BLADES AND BUSTING THE RADIATOR. THE RADIATOR, FAN ASSEMBLY AND FAN HAD TO BE CHANGED. DURING THESE REPAIRS THE VIBRATION SOURCE WAS FOUND. THE FLYWHEEL WAS BAD. CHANGED FLYWHEEL, CLUTCH AND THROW OUT BEARING. THE BEARING IN THE FLYWHEEL WAS BAD AND CAUSING SLACK WHICH CAUSED THE VIBRATION. THE EXCESSIVE VIBRATION ALSO CAUSED A 5" CRACK IN THE BELL HOUSING AND BROKE THE EXHAUST PIPE IN TWO. MUFFLER SHOP SAID THEY HAVE NEVER...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE RAM 2500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, HE STARTED TO HEAR A TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE MOTOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD OVERHEATED AND TWISTED, CAUSING THE BOLTS TO FRACTURE. AS A RESULT BOTH MANIFOLDS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 79,000.

2005 DODGE 2500 DIESEL TRUCK. REPLACED SERPENTINE BELT 4 TIMES DUE TO FRAYING. THE LAST TIME IT WAS CHANGED THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME A PULLEY HAD A NICK ON IT AND NEEDED REPLACED. I PAID TO REPLACE THE SERPENTINE BELT AND PULLEY. I HAVE 120,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND THE 4TH BELT IS NEEDING CHANGED DUE TO FRAYING. THE EDGE TOWARDS THE FAN IS THE ONE THAT GETS FRAYED. I EMAILED DODGE A WEEK AGO AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE. I FEEL THIS IS A DEFECT. *TR

MY 2005 DODGE RAM 2500 IGNITED AND BLEW UP WHILE UNDER 7 YEAR 70K WARRANTY AND CHRYSLER DENIES ANY RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

MY VEHICLE WILL STALL WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES TO THE VEHICLE. THIS IN TURN CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO SHUT DOWN ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKING. MY TRUCK IS A FAIRLY LARGE VEHICLE, AND WHEN YOU START TO BRAKE IN ADVANCE AND THE VEHICLE STALLS, ESPECIALLY WHEN ICY OUTSIDE ITS VERY HARD TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO MY DEALERSHIP AND BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN ENDLESS TIMES, IT HAS SAT THERE FOR SEVERAL DAYS WHILE THEIR TECHNICIANS SIT AROUND AND TRY TO FIGURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS... EVERYTIME THEIR ANSWER IS, WERE NOT SURE BECAUSE THIS IS THE FIRST ANYONE HAS EVER HEARD OF IT. WE FIXED "WHATEVER" BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT REALLY IT. EVERYTIME I THEN TAKE THE VEHICLE, IT STALLS, I'VE ALMOST KILLED A PEDESTRIAN AND REAR ENDED A TRUCK... WHAT WILL IT TAKE, SOMEONE TO GET KILLED BEFORE DODGE TAKES THIS AS...

I OWN A 2005 DODGE RAM SLT SPORT WITH A 5.7L HEMI. I HAVE OWNED IT APPROXIMATELY 4 MONTHS AND IN THOSE 4 MONTHS IT HAS HAD COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STILL WORKS, BUT THE VEHICLES STALLS WITHOUT WARNING. BOTH TIMES HAVE BEEN AT RED LIGHTS AND IN PARKING LOTS. I HAVE MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET THE TRUCK LOOKED AT AND I PLAN ON ASKING FOR A BUYBACK ON IT SINCE I HAVE LOST TRUST IN THE TRUCK.

I HAVE AN 05 RAM 2500 QUAD CAB HEMI TRUCK WITH 3,200 MILES ON IT. SINCE NEW THE TRUCK HAS HAD AN ERRATIC IDLE AND WOULD OCCASIONALLY DIE WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. THE PCM HAS BEEN FLASHED, THE THROTTLE BODY IS PROJECTED TO BE REPLACED NEXT. THIS PROBLEM IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AS THE TRUCK RECENTLY STALLED IN TRAFFIC THREE TIMES IN A TEN MINUTE PERIOD. I WILL ALSO BE FILLING A SIMILAR COMPLAINT FOR MY 05 HEMI DURANGO LIMITED.
