What owners wrote
The bearing brackets that hold the fan clutch on explode sending the fans into the radiator. When this occurs you have limited brakes and steering. This is not first one to do this to me. This time the truck caught fire because of how hot the parts were. All of the fail on the cummins engine. Each time has been around 65MPH . The shops laugh about it being another when you tow it in. Thanks richie
Suspension is insufficient for weight of engine creating a dangerous steering situation while in motion on any surface on or off road, straight ahead or turning. Cummings 6.7l engine is twice the weight of the hemi engine normally mounted on this 1500 ram suspension system
