2005 Dodge RAM 1500 fuel system problems

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Pulled in driveway and without warning the rear gas tank strap broke due to corrosion, which left my gas tank hanging about 2 inches off the ground. Thankfully this did not happen when I was on the highway. The tank drop could have made contact with the road surface which could abrade the tank, create a hole from which gasoline can spill and cause a fire hazard, accidents with other vehicles, bodily injury and possibly death. We replaced the straps but felt it was important to make this report due to us finding recalls on gas straps for other Dodge Ram trucks. I feel there should be a mandatory check and replace notice on these gas straps.

This will be the 4th time since late 2020 that this vehicle will stall either at a stop or at low speed. EGR valve has been replaced 3 times. You lose power steering and harder to brake but for the grace of God my wife has not had an accident. If you search online there are hundreds of similar complaints.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:THROTTLEBODY/MANIFOLD

This aftermarket throttle body was on the truck when I purchased it 4 months ago. I live in Georgia and bought the car in Florida. In driving it home 400 miles, I noticed in stop and go traffic, the throttle was sticking. It would stick between 1500-2500 RPM with the clutch engaged (vehicle not in gear). I also noticed when I let off the throttle, I would continue my speed or even accelerate versus slowing down. I contacted BBK and they told me to ship it to them to be repaired, but that means I would be without my vehicle for weeks. Then I ask about this in a Facebook group and it appears this is a common, known issue. Even people who have bought a "reconditioned" throttle body from BBK have this same issue. I notice no where have you asked for the manufacturer's info so here it is: BBK PERFORMANCE 3060 Performance Circle, DeLand, FL 32724 Also here is the product on their website: https://www.bbkperformance.com/dodge-srt-10-throttle-body-04-06.html

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

I want to make a complaint because the engine in my 2005 dodge ram 1500 Magnum stalling very often, engine stalling on the traffic freeway couple of times that I have to restart the vehicle quick, good thing cars going slow. The most scary time was when I was making a right turn on this busy avenue and the engine stalled and almost got hit by other's cars the engine stalling very often that already know when it dies I put it on P and restart it as quick as I can before I get hit by other car. The next issue. It makes a grinding sound underneath when taking off at very low speed. I not sure if it is the differential or a wheel but it something there I took it to the mechanic he fix something that was woren it connects to the differential but still makes the noyse. Too many problems with this truck.

I HEARD AN UNUSUAL NOISE, KIND OF A RATTLE AND VIBRATING SOUND. IT CONTINUED TO GET LOUDER FOR ABOUT AN 8TH OF A MILE. I BEGAN TO MOVE TOWARD THE RIGHT LANE OF TRAFFIC TO EXIT THE MAIN ROAD. THE NOISE BECAME EXTREMELY LOUD AND THERE WAS A GRINDING SOUND. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY THERE WAS A LOUD CRASHING THUD OCCURRED AND THE TRUCK JARRED TO AN IMMEDIATE STOP. AFTER LOOKING UNDERNEATH I SAW THAT THE WHOLE DRIVE SHAFT WAS DISCONNECTED FROM THE REAR AND FLUID WAS SPILLING ON THE GROUND. THE TOW DRIVER SAID HE'D NOT SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

LAST SATURDAY ON JUNE 28 2014 I WAS LEAVING MY RESIDENCE WHEN I OBSERVED A SMALL LEAK DRIPPING OUT OF MY REAR DIFFERENTIAL WHERE THE PINION GEAR GOES INTO THE DIFFERENTIAL. I ORDERED A PINION SEAL AT MY LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE. ON MY WAY TO THE PARTS STORE I NOTICED A VERY FAINT WHINE COMING FROM THE REAR END. ABOUT 1 TO 2 MILES AFTER THE WHINE WAS FIRST NOTICED IT QUICKLY BECAME A ROAR FOR NO MORE THAN 20 SECONDS AND THEN THE PINION GEAR SNAPPED AT THE DIFFERENTIAL LOCKING BOTH MY REAR TIRES UP SENDING MY TRUCK SIDEWAYS. WITH MY SON IN THE BACK SEAT IT WAS A VERY FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE FOR A 2 YEAR OLD. I COULDN'T MOVE THE TRUCK OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET SO I SAT HELPLESSLY AND WAITED FOR A TOW TRUCK. THE NEXT DAY I LOOKED UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK AND REALIZED THAT ALONG WITH MY REAR END BEING TOASTED SO WAS MY DRIVE SHAFT WHICH HAD DAMAGE FROM SPINNING FREELY. THEN I OBSERVED MY GAS TANK WITH A DENT SO BIG I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO PURCHASE A NEW TANK. SO FAR I HAVE BEEN QUOTED FOR A USED REAR DIFFERENTIAL AT SEVERAL SALVAGE YARDS FROM 800-1400. IT'S RIDICULOUS THAT THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES WITH DODGE TRUCKS AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. IS IT GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE LOOSING THERE LIFE BECAUSE NEGLIGENCE FROM DODGE TO GET THESE PROBLEMS FIXED AND HOLD DODGE ACCOUNTABLE!!!!
