Well opinions are like well you know. Funny someone must like what we are building we paid are loans off, has your beloved Blue Oval paid theirs? Here's a hint NO. Sorry but those brake lines are the same ones used by Ford and GM same supplier. My brake lines do not have any rust on them and it's a 2000s Ram.

Maybe your friends should learn what a car wash is for. Again if you like your Kool-Aid Blue then drink up. I used to but it started leaving a bad taste do to their piss-poor quality and customer non-service. Hell they offered me a job in their die shop @ River Rouge, I'm went to Chrysler.

Chrysler has always made **** vehicles. Period, end of story. Most quality surveys from actual owners put them at the bottom of the barrel. That's straight from those that own them, not me or any outsider.

The one that had the brake lines was the one who found it was the******steel Chrysler used, not me. He was lucky they broke in the parking lot and not while in motion. And I doubt a car wash woul help with the crummy Chrysler transmission issues.

And just because the parts are from the same supplier doesn't mean they are the same. The company doing the ordering (Chrysler, Ford, GM, Toyota, etc) specs the part and the cost. Too low a cost and something has to give.

Lets talk loans, shall we. Iaccoca went to the govt hat in hand in the 80s and asked for money to save Poor Chrysler. We gave it to them. 20 years later they were back asking for more. Should have been denied the first and definitely the second time. Wonder if well have the cajones to do it when they come back looking for more? I predict Fiat will grow tired of the turd and get out too. Sales last month for Chrysler, while up were mainly helped out by Ram and Jeep. Cars were not selling well except for Dodge. Not good with their "all new lineup".

Yup, Ford took money too, a DOE loan for alternative fuel cars and some TARP for Fird Credit. They are paying those back. Really can't do it ahead of schedule as they mortgaged everything to not take govt money (because the Ford family would have lost control of the co). But it's a lot harder to pay back early when most of your debt is not forgiven as in the GM and Chrysler bankruptcies.

I would be interested in knowing if this problem has any geographical coorelation to where a person lives or is it a issue that can be replicated in all 50 states?

I live in Texas and deal with 110 deg summer temps, but we also have some rain and damp conditions from time to time. Does the problem seem to exist in parts of the country that traditionally have a more humid climate?

our Ram work truck has rust starting on two spots on the tail gate. No damage to cause the rust starting, not sure the year model, but it less than 4 years old. :h

2 people I know with 2000s Dodge trucks have had serious issues with them. One tranny, one lost his brake lines because of the******Steel Chrysler used.

There is a reason Ram is a distant 3rd and has always been and will always will be. Chrysler should have died in e 80s when Iacocca was begging the government for loans the first time. Wonder if we will bail them out a 3rd time or let them go away like they should have all one years ago. Outside Ram and Jeep, they are doing poorly.

I know 3 people with Ram trucks that have no problems. I win.

You couldn't find a correct fact in that post with two hands, a map, a gps, and a flashlight.

The fact that you think two decade old trucks is a significant statistical sample shows you're blind to anything but plain old brand bashing. You hate Dodge, Chrysler, cummins, etc. We get it.

On topic, we have 3 ecoboost powered fords in our fleet of police vehicles, none have had this issue, but it is rarely humid here, and they get floored often.

Well I don't know anyone with one of the weak 2009 and up Ram 1500s but the previous Ram 1500s were pretty good as I know a few who loved theirs.

At differing forums I've visited, I'd say 95 is only people who actually knew they could report it, knew how to do it, and didn't mind taking the time to do so. Most people I know don't care about reporting a problem because it does nothing for them except waste their time.

In the different forums, if I counted all the members with issues, that number would be pretty high and none have stated they have reported it, just that they're working with Ford to correct it.

Ford obviously is aware of it as they have now started to offer the 6.2L in their XLTs with the Max Tow package. Previously, the XLT's only Max Tow option engine was the Ecoboost.

Unfortunately, you can't get the HD suspension package with the 6.2L. The 6.2L with the Max Tow package is as expensive already as a 6.2L F250 optioned the same. Ford probably figures the HD suspension package on a F150 with the 6.2L would be a loss when you can get the engine in more truck for the same or less cost.

The sad truth is if it wasn't for that Cummins under the hood (that obviously wasn't built by Dodge) I doubt there would even be Dodge trucks for sale anymore! :B

I have to totally agree with this statement, as the Cummins engine is ALL that is keeping the Ram alive. It is a shame, but the truth.

Your so funny. Man my 2004 must just be a fluke then right? Never seen the back of a tow truck and the only Chrysler product that has was our 2005 Neon when the alt took a dump.

I wish I could say the same for the FondOnRoadDead vehicles I owned. Every note that word every one was towed to the dealer one time or the other. OK OK there was one that never got towed, that POS was traded less then six weeks after Ford GAVE it to me on a lemon law buy back.

Ford has the number one Series truck only because they add all the F-series vehicles together. Note the ad they say Ford F-Series trucks not F-150 but F-series. I let them screw me three times four if you count the buy back truck but it won't ever happen again. And it won't effect Ford one bit.
