My family and I was driving down the road. (We had just had the truck serviced about 4 days prior at our local dealership.) All the sudden the truck makes this sound. I slowed down, rolled my window down trying to figure out if it was my vehicle or not. Very faint at first and increased with a loud boom. I get out to find my drive shaft on the ground. And the pinion nut nowhere to be seen. Gone. Luckily we were on a country road and my family is safe.

I got it home and had it towed to my mechanic. The truck was checked out, the truck did not stall after repeated testing for the next...

In the fall of last year the check engine light came on in my 2004 dodge ram 1500. The code that came up was misfire in cylinder 8. I took it to a mechanic and they said it was the fuel injector which they replaced. A few days later after getting my truck back the light came on again. This time the code was misfire in cylinder 6. I took it to a very trusted mechanic who stated it was a rocker arm that had come off due to junk in the engine. Once it was fixed again the light came on saying misfire in cylinder...

Will usually start immediately back up, sometimes requires slight accelerator pressure when cranking in order to obtain self-sustaining engine speed. During decelerations, engine rpm is erratic and will often encounter a transient drop in rpm's to approximately 400 rpm before engine dies. Issue seems to be more common and severe in cold weather, or when engine is cold, but has occurred under all...

2004 Dodge ram 1500 pickup, engine rpm's surge consistently with no consequence other than the truck shutting down. Starts back most of the time with no problem but there has been instances where the truck does not want to restart. While driving the rpm's run fine but when you decelerate for turning or parking or intersections the truck is slow to gear down and the rpm's surge again shutting the truck down. This is a constant problem with the truck. *Tr

My 2004 dodge ram would intermittently drop the cruise control when I hit the drivers side down button. I took it to the dealer several times and was told it wasn't throwing a code and they didn't know what was causing the issue. Several months ago, after parking my vehicle in the garage, I woke up to discover the drivers door had caught fire. It sure looked to me that it started on the circuit board inside the door. The vehicle was totaled. *Tr

Vehicle was traveling at a slow speed and the engine quit without warning. The engine stalling usually occurred s in low speed situations, like in town driving. When the engine stalled power steering failed without warning. Since that date the engine has quit a number of times, more than 10 times. It will restart after key was switched to off. I took the truck to a dealer on 2-28-07, and I was told the problem was with the throttle body. There were enough throttle bodies failing for these trucks that the supplier was out of units until almost a month later. Also, I was a told that this part wasn't under warranty. The truck ran erratically at low throttle settings.*Ak

Resulting in hitting a lamp post, and causing rear bumper to de dented and as well as some buckling in rear panel. *Nm
