I ordered a 2010 Dodge Ram 3500 with dual rear wheels. Dodge does not install valve stems long enough that I can even check the tire pressure in the tires. I have the chrome wheel package and cannot even see the valve stems to locate them.

Erratic windshield wiper performance followed by complete failure of the wipers. Wipers stalled in the center of the windshield in a thunderstorm while towing a 24,000 lb trailer on interstate 65 with semi truck/trailers on 3 sides. This was the 2nd incident of wiper failure. The first failure occurred about 6 months earlier. After leaving the truck parked overnite, the wiper operation returned to normal. I took the truck to my local Dodge dealer after both occurrences. They could not find any problems with the wipers after the 1st occurrence while the truck was under warranty. After the 2nd occurrence I was told that the total integrated power module (tipm)had failed and needed to be replaced and since the truck was now out of warranty that I would have to pay for the replacement. I have not yet replaced the tipm. During both wiper failures, the driving situation was very dangerous because road spray covered the windshield and severely cut down visibility. Phone interview update (10/01/09): owner took the vehicle in for repairs after tipm (total integrated power module )was diagnosed to be the cause of the wiper failure mode. Owner states that the tipm was replaced and had multiple failure modes occur including : inoperable wipers, flipped turn signals, and inoperable cruise control. The owner took the vehicle back for repairs and the multifunction swithc was replaced. Owner states no further problems.

Problems with tire equipment on 2003 Dodge diesel 3500 truck. The vehicle was delivered to the consumer's ten pounds below the minimum pressure for a safe ride. The consumer's test drove one 3500, but didn't like the roughness of the ride. The second 3500, the vehicle in question rode much smoother. They had the vehicle serviced at the dealership to insure it was ready for a long trip. After being driven 3000 miles, the vehicle handled very bad on wet and muddy roads. Consumer had the tires checked and realized it rode smooth at first because it was 10 pounds under pressure. When inflated to the proper pressure (55) it rode rough even at 40 mph or less.
