Problems:
Brake fluid leaks
Hydraulic brake systems can develop leaks in the brake lines, fittings, or master cylinder, leading to reduced braking performance.
Brake pedal issues
A spongy or unresponsive brake pedal can indicate air in the brake lines or a failing master cylinder.
Overheating engine
In-line engines, including those made by Cummins, can suffer from overheating issues, often due to coolant leaks or a failing water pump.
Turbocharger failure
The Cummins 6-cylinder engines in Dodge Ram trucks are known for turbocharger issues, which can result in loss of power and increased exhaust smoke.
Fuel injector problems
Cummins engines can experience fuel injector failures, leading to rough idling, poor fuel economy, and difficulty starting.
Egr (exhaust gas recirculation) valve issues
The EGR valve can become clogged with carbon deposits, affecting engine performance and emissions.
Crankshaft position sensor failure
A faulty crankshaft position sensor can cause the engine to stall or not start at all.
Transmission issues
While not directly related to the engine, the Dodge Ram 2007 models are known for automatic transmission problems, which can affect overall vehicle performance.
Dpf (diesel particulate filter) clogging
Diesel engines like the Cummins in the Dodge Ram 2007 can suffer from DPF clogging, leading to reduced performance and increased emissions.
Timing chain/belt wear
Over time, the timing chain or belt can wear out, causing issues with engine timing and potentially leading to engine damage if not addressed.
