OT No care for vet's

From : roy

Q: our 2005 dodge ram 3500 pickup cummings died while driving hard to start finally would not start. dodge mechanic said water in fuel tank blamed service station cost us $3800 plus missed days of work & then they voided warranty on everything. we traded for 2006 dodge ram 3500 cummings and interestingly enough just received letter from chrysler saying take to nearest dealer to put hoses on roll-over valve vent hoses since the roll-over valves could allow water to enter into the fuel tank etc. etc. we suspect 2005 dodge ram had same problems and want to hear from others with this problem no matter where you live as we are seriously considering a class action law suit. you can reach us at honeyhanewald@aol.com. .

tiggy@gisco.net wrote took the truck into the dealer today. the hooked it up to the computer with chrysler. apparently it was strange my truck still ran even though there was no communication with the bus. they figured it to be a voltage spike to make this happen. truck still runs good and all gauges work now. its one of those never seen this before at the dealer. they disconnected each module and found no problem. cured itself apparently. well see what happens now. haha! the no-bus error was never seen by your dealer before is he *really* new to the business my 99 has popped up with this error about 5 times in the last year. a light tap to the panel below the steering wheel brings it back to life at this point. this is what happens when you build a flimsy truck with oodles of undersized wiring in the harness and the sleaziest quality connectors you could possibly find on the market. oh well... when it finally all goes to crap itll get a bike speedometer a voltmeter-based fuel gauge a 4 barrel carburetor vacuum advance distributer and a ford duraspark setup to run it. ill just be sure to drive down to mexico to sell it when im done ; js .
