Engine Cooling System problems of the 1999 Dodge Ram 2500

I own a 1999 Dodge/cummins diesel 2500 truck with a #53 cummins engine block. This engine block has developed a crack and is leaking coolant. This engine block has a known defect from the manufacturing process. In research, it was found from sources such as the turbo diesel register. Com and a national repair company - locknstitch. Com - that 1000s (thousands) of these blocks have cracked in the same place necessitating repairs costing owners millions of dollars thus far. The cost to me alone to repair this block will be $3000. 00 with no guarantee it will not crack again! I know there have been many complaints filed here. Why has there been nothing done about this obvious and very costly defect???.

I have a 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 4 x 4 quad cab with the v-10 manual transmission. Since I purchased it new in March 1999, I have twice replaced the rr track bar ($200 part, not including labor) and the steering intermediate shaft ($89 part, not including labor). This truck wanders all over the road and a heavy clunk is felt in the steering wheel. The dealer mechanics keep telling me "that's typical of this vehicle," but there is no recall. Why? I have also noticed an abundance of coolant loss at each oil change since about 10,000 miles. . . Up to 1 gallon per 3000 miles. The radiator pressure checked ok. Dealer mechanics and chat rooms have told me this is another "typical" problem with this truck. Apparently the antifreeze blows through the headgasket and into the exhaust system where it evaporates. Still no recalls. Why are automanufacturers getting away with this?.
