Had to replace cylinder heads at 68000 miles, not due to wear and tear according to repair shop. 10 out of the last 12 Dodge trucks into the shop have had to have the same thing done. I was told to keep my peperwork, because there is an obvious problem and they are seeing more and more Dodge trucks with around the same mileage being brought in. Repair shop feels there probably will be a recall on them. Major problems with the Dodge trucks.

Engine valve clatter. The engine has a high pitch valve clatter when any load is put on the vehicle such as passing a vehicle. The dealer has performed service bulletin items. The dealer tells me to burn 93 octane fuel. The owners manual says to use 87 octane. Talked with numerous Dodge owners who have the same concern. Does the engine clatter mean an engine problem now or in the future? dealer not concerned.

Engine has rough idle when transmission is in reverse or drive, with engine at idle speed. I have driven other identical vehicles that did not exhibit this condition. Condition growing more severe. **dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12-12-02 cut over to artemis**770148.

#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.
