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?.

Thermostat closed, causing engine to overheat, boiling the coolant out of the cooling system out of the overflow pipe, past the radiator cap, through the coolant recovery bottle. Possible consequences: destruction of engine through overheating, possible fire. Temperature gauge did not function due to loss of coolant. Service dealer and daimler Chrysler state that the thermostat is not a warranty item, even though nothing in the owner's manual, the extended warranty contract or any other documentation that I have states this. Instead. Daimler Chrysler cover the cummins diesel engine and all internal components. This is and was interpreted by this owner as meaning that the thermostat, being an internal engine part, should be covered, and all literature supplied me at the time of purchase imply this. Failure of this part could result in a fire or engine destruction.
