Engine problems of the 2003 Dodge Ram 1500

Oil pressure drops all of a sudden truck quits. There many other people on the web with the same problem. There is no other problem until oil pressure drops for no reason. Mechanics all say the same thing need new engine. Oil is changed when it is suppose to be. The engines need to be recalled because there are alot of people having the same problems.

Loss oil pressure on i75, towed truck to Dodge dealer, they said the engine was ruined. Dodge will not fix engine. Truck has 26,000 miles and under warranty. They said the oil was bad but they didn't take an oil sample or have it tested.

1. Oil pressure gauge started swinging back & forth. I took me about 100 yards to pull over safely and the engine quit. 2. Engine seized and needed to be replaced, bob bose Dodge in bradenton florida said the failure was due to lack of maintenance and will not be covered by the extended warranty. I have maintained this engine religiously and have changes the oil more than recommended. There is no reason for an engine with 63,000 miles to fail like this.

I have a loud tick coming from the motor. I have had it to the dealership to fix and they told me that it is a known problem but was told not to try and fix the problem. This is a known issue with these motors by daimler Chrysler but refuse to fix it until there is a serious problem with the motor. The problem I have with this is the warranty may be up at that time forcing me to have to pay for something that they know about now and also the resale of the vehicle before it is fixed with that noise coming from the motor.

Have had the truck less than two years and have had service because of faulty motor in windshield wipers, bad coil in engine, mis-firing, causing the cylinders and valves to be replaced, fuel cap replaced, fuel line replaced because of water in the lines, heater had bad piece, causing heat to not come out of defrost or floors, shifter for 4-wheel drive will not shift. Has been in shop 13 days(3 visits) in last 4 weeks. Needs to go back this week for shifter.

Loud knock coming from lower end of the 5. 7l hemi motor.

Have an 03 ram hemi, 6020 miles on it, broke down last week. Dealership thought it was a faultyfuel injector causing the missfire. It was a broken valve spring. Now they only want to replace 1 spring and leave 15 possibly bad ones in it. Have owned truck since July 2nd 2003.

Dodge Ram 1500 hemi. Bought on 5-26-03. On 6-2-03 the truck broke down. Broken valve spring. First it was thought the computer. Now Dodge wants motor back. Truck is still in the shop with the replacement motor not in sight. Is this a problem with the new hemi style motor? may need to look into this.

Engine "hangs" at idle after backing up and shifting into drive. Will not accelerate. Can be overcome by shutting down and restarting. Has occurred in about a dozen instances since Jan 03. Dealer can't fix. Chrysler blows it off.

Ram 1500 hemi, with 1900 miles on it, it broke a valve spring, cracked the block, lost the motor. It took 14 days to get the motor replaced, now it has a rear main seal leak. Waiting on parts, 12 days. My truck has been it shop for 26 days, I've only owned it for two and half months. After 30 days it falls under the lemon law.

My new truck turns off all the time when sitting at idle for 2 minutes or more.
