The check engine light has been on from the first 6 months. Fixed 3 times. Finally gave up. Also odd electrical problems. Gas gauge works. Gas gauge fails. Gas gauge works again. This is weekly.

Ram 1500 SLT 4.7L

  • Automatic transmission

My check engine light goes on and off day by day. But for the last 6 months it just stayed on. I service my truck regularly so I don't know what else it could be.

How can a truck with just 64K miles on have so many problems? I will never buy another Doge in mile life.
