Dodge Ram 2500 owners have reported 3 problems related to engine failure (under the engine and engine cooling category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Upon purchasing this used pickup I performed an inspection of the under carriage I noticed that the oil pan had a pretty significant dent in it. It was obviously caused by a skid plate that was mounted on the front axle of this truck from the factory. I went online and found many owner of this model had the same issue. One person was successful in getting a dealership to remove the skid plate and replace the oil pan. The service department said that the skid plate was only meant to be put on the gasoline models not the diesel models. This is due to not having enough clearance. This can cause a hole in the oil pan which can easily lead to an expensive but needless engine failure. This is unacceptable on a truck that cost $50000, Dodge should perform these repairs and skid plate removal for these models for no cost.

I own a 2005 Dodge ram slt sport with a 5. 7l hemi. I have owned it approximately 4 months and in those 4 months it has had complete engine failure, electrical system still works, but the vehicles stalls without warning. Both times have been at red lights and in parking lots. I have made an appointment to get the truck looked at and I plan on asking for a buyback on it since I have lost trust in the truck.
