Four problems related to engine have been reported for the 1998 Dodge Ram 1500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The engine consumed six quarts of oil in the last 3000 miles. The dealer was notified and indicated that there was nothing they could do since the vehicle was no longer under warranty.
#4 cylinder head cracked, but head gasket worn on other head as well so we chose to replace both heads. We reported to Chrysler and they agreed to pay half the cost to replace the two heads including labor.
Engine piston seals were never seated properly which allowed engine to operate erratically. While driving at approximately 70 mph, engine locked up, and consumer had vehicle towed. A private mechanic replaced engine. Please provide any additional information/attachments.
