  Anyone have leaky dodge cummins

Denwwod: I have an '03 Ram quad cab short-bed Cummins H.O. 4x4 auto SLT with nearly 40K miles. No trans leaks, but the trans. inspection cover is awfully wet with oil; no other leaks. It's suppose to be "heavy duty" or that's what the badges say. Just got it back from the dealer: all new upper and lower ball joints, new hub and bearings assy's, outer and inner tie rods ends, and steering sector rod end, new front shocks, new complete front driveshaft, new front axle u-joints, and new complete rear drive shaft. All under warranty, but technician agreed I'll be back in another 30K. Told him I was happy to help put his kid through college hahaha. They told me they are seeing other HD's coming in with the same problems (I plow snow and use my truck for 90% commercial work (contracting) pulling heavy trailers so everyone may not see the problems I have had and will continue to have.)

  Anyone have leaky dodge cummins

MURF: I don't agree about 2000 and newer having problems--this is my 3rd Ram and the '03 is by far the best one I've had. My '95 on the other hand was so bad Chyrlser bought it back; my '99 was a a litlle better but not much.

AV8R: You might be thinking of 1/2 tons becuase my 3/4's have pressed-in bearings. And the weight on either doesn't ride on the axle shaft, it rides on the rotor/hub; the axles go along for the ride just like in a front wheel drive car. In fact there is no weight on the axle as there is a u-joint.

AV8R: My dealer's parts guy says the '06 truck frames will be new along with a host of other things. I challenged him on it but he stood firm.

I have talked to Ford guys with 1 tons and they have the same problems with the front ends when used for snow plowing. I use a Boss v-plow which is severl hundred lb. over the allowable GVWCR for the front axle, and the diesel engine weighs almost 1000lb. more than a similar gas engined Ram so the problems are built-in from the get-go.
