What owners wrote
The engine caught fire on a 1998 dodge ram 2500 truck. There was no warning before it happened. This happened one block from our home. The truck just died and a lot of smoke was released from the front end of the car. A few moments later fire erupted and there is extensive damage to the truck.
1998 dodge truck ate the injector pump when the fuel pump failed. This can cause sudden loss of power, brakes and steering if it happens at high speeds or when carrying large loads as I do when on the job.
