| I own a 1998 dodge ram 1500 extended cab. i bought the vehical new. for several years the dash has been cracking and the plastic air conditioning vents are falling apart. i have made no repairs and it needs fixing. also the rear end is roaring probably from a bearing going bad. other than this problem, it has been a good truck. | |||

| The jack that came with this vehicle does not have a base big enough to support the vehicle. whenever it reaches the height which is needed to change a tire, it has been up in the air, and consumer has watched it just slide down due to the base not being wide enough. *ak | |||
