Two problems related to check engine light on have been reported for the 2008 Dodge RAM. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 04/02/2012

2 things have happened. At a normal idle in park, the vehicle after about a minute has surges (a quick high rev) then once the rev stops the truck engine light flickers and sounds like it wants to stall. In another case, while sitting at a red light the truck has a rough idle that causes the truck to shake. This has happened numerous times. I have not taken the truck to the dealer for fear that it would cost alot of money to have this checked out.
