Most common problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems can develop leaks in the brake lines, calipers, or master cylinder, leading to reduced braking efficiency or brake failure.

Worn brake pads or rotors

Over time, brake pads and rotors wear out, causing decreased braking performance, squeaking noises, or vibrations when braking.

Master cylinder failure

The master cylinder can fail, leading to a loss of hydraulic pressure and brake function.

Engine misfires

The V8 configuration can experience misfires due to issues with spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors.

Fuel injector problems

The Sequential Multi-Port Fuel Injection (SMPI) system can develop issues such as clogged or leaking fuel injectors, leading to poor engine performance and fuel economy.

Engine overheating

V8 engines can overheat due to problems with the cooling system, such as a faulty thermostat, water pump, or radiator.

Oil leaks

V-shaped engines often develop oil leaks from valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets, or rear main seals.

Timing chain or belt issues

Problems with the timing chain or belt can cause poor engine performance or catastrophic engine failure.

Sensor failures

Various engine sensors (e.g., oxygen sensors, mass airflow sensor) can fail, leading to poor engine performance and diagnostic trouble codes.

Transmission problems

The drivetrain in the Dodge Ram can develop issues such as slipping, hard shifting, or transmission fluid leaks.

Suspension wear

The suspension components, including shocks, struts, and bushings, can wear out, leading to a rough ride and poor handling.
