I own a 2001 Ram 1500 2x4 with the V8 5.9L
Aside from me having to replace the engine due to a neglectful previous owner, and it going into the shop this week for unknown reasons yet....... I LOVE my truck. Hopefully I get the darn thing running again this week.

I wish I knew. I let her get super low on gas (I know I know :/) and I went to crank her up as we were gonna head up to the gas station, and she started sputterin and the engine was jumpin, so I assumed she was running out of gas. I went and got some gas from a neighbor and added some gas. Cranked her back up....same thing! Sounds terrible. I dunno if the fuel injectors are clogged up maybe since I let the gas get so low maybe some crus in there clogged it up? I put two cans of the seafoam stuff in the fuel tank too to try and see if that'd help, but it didn't. Finally getting her towed in to the shop Thursday, so I'll know something in a few days. |

I have a 2000 model. It's the worst purchase i've ever made. In the three years i have had it I haven't had two months in a row go by without having to replace something. And everytime I think I've replaced everything imaginable something else goes wrong. Or I have to replace something for the second time. And it only has 140k on it and been well maintained. I know it could be just this truck but it's so bad I will probably never own another Dodge.
