Bad bad fuel mileage (You knew that) It was never intended to take the place of a diesel but it accomplished its mission- to out do GM and Fords big displacement gas truck engines. Keep old mopars alive.

I don't think it is a common fault, but it has happened enough to show up in several posts on Ram truck forums. TSB's http://dodgeram.info/tsb/index.html

Some of the earlier engines had head cracking problems similar to the 5.9 and the cats were junk on them but yours will probably have been replaced or removed by now. Mine has been totally reliable for the four years I have had it. 4943098-DCP01168.JPG (67 downloads) `02 RAM2500 SPORT V10 4x4 `06 GMC sierra NO cars
