| I own a 1997 dodge ram 1500 w/93,000 on it the problems began the radiator $250 just for the part went bad then transmission went out dodge is infamous for the transmission problems i had to pay $1900 to get it fixed after that was done the fuel rail & o ring started to leak another well know defect on chrysler vehicles my truck was visibly losing gas & obviously dangerous there is no way to repair the defective cap you have to buy the whole fuel rail from the dealer for $300 just for the part. i think that is not only ridiculous but dangerous & an obvious problem with other chyrsler vehicles & yet nothing has been done. *jb | |||
