Ram 1500 8-cyl

  • 69,900 miles
I have a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 with a 4.7 liter V-8. the problem like many others have had is that the truck will rev up and down at idle and slow speed. After the truck stalled, almost getting me in a sever crash at an intersection while towing my boat, I took it to the dealer. They said the egr valve was bad and replaced it. This worked for about a year. Then about 2 weeks ago it started again and I took it to the dealer where they replaced some part on the computer and reprogrammed it, but this only worked for about 2 weeks and its back.

Engine shuts off randomly. During low speeds, up hills, down hills, around corners, it doesn't matter. Took it to the dealer and they replaced the "harmonic balancer" but it still didn't fix it.

My 2005 Dodge truck started having a vibration in it at 300 miles. Have had it in 5 times in 4 month to be fix. Dodge says there is nothing they can do. Told dealer I wanted to put it under wyo lemon law. Dealer say it is between my and Dodge. Dodge says it is between me and my dealer I just want a new truck.
