2001 Dodge Ram review from North America
"Poorly made, poor service, poor dealership"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine blown at 50,000+ miles after above recommended maintenance.
General comments?
5-star techs repeatedly found sludge to tar type oil.
I questioned them over and over as to the cause. first they said oil wasn't changed enough. I proved differently. then it was the low grade oil I used. valvoline? they continued patch work. this took place over 2 years. finally after the last repair oil pressure dropped. and engine blew.
