Dodge had it coming when they rolled out this beast. If you're looking for fuel efficiency, you might be in for a shock—this truck is a gas guzzler, and you'll be lucky to get 11 mpg right off the line. But don't let that fool you; it was also one of the fastest trucks ever tested by Consumer Reports. If you're serious about keeping your Dodge running strong, fixing these common issues yourself can save you time and money.
Weak Brakes
These trucks were released without reliable braking systems. The factory brakes were one of the biggest headaches for owners, especially when hauling heavy loads. If you're replacing your brakes, make sure you pay attention to which side you install the calipers on. Getting them reversed can cause air to get trapped in the system, leading to a soft or sinking brake pedal. Don’t try to cut corners here—your safety depends on it. With a truck that hauls over 3 tons, you need strong, durable brakes to keep you safe on the road.
Airbag Recalls
If your truck hasn’t been fixed for the airbag recalls, now is the time to take action. These airbags can rupture under certain conditions, potentially sending dangerous metal shrapnel into the cabin. Don’t risk your life for a little inconvenience. Most dealerships will fix these recalls at no cost to you. It’s a simple fix that could save your life.
Pump Problems
It's not just the gas pump that can cause issues in these trucks. Lift pumps and water pumps are known to fail before reaching 100,000 km. The lift pump is often the first to go. When diagnosing, don’t worry about damaging the CP3 pump—it runs independently. However, if your lift pump is in-tank, removing it can be a real pain. Make sure you’re fully prepared before attempting this repair.
