Back in December 2007, I bought a brand new 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 Single Cab SLT with a 4.7 liter engine. I kept this truck until October 2016, and traded it in on a 2016 Dodge Challenger SXT. During the 8 years of ownership I only placed 36,000 miles on this truck. I really had no problems with this truck except for one. The power steering rack developed a very minor leak. This could have been a result of limited driving. I'm retired so I just don't drive much. Overall, I really liked this truck.

Nice video with some really good information. Just one thing i would like to add. If you have a slipping or funny shifting transmission, check your alternator. I had a problem with a slipping transmission on my 2005 4,7 and started some troubleshooting. After 2 days it finally came to my mind to check the voltage of my alternator. See there: 11.2 Volts. Swapped it and everthing's fine for about 3 years now. The solenoids slow down when voltage is low, so the transmission needs more time to shift into another gear.

As you can see in my profile pic, I have an 06’ Ram 1500 mega cab. One thing that was brought up to me and something that I experienced was that my taillights will go out, not the lightbulbs themselves but the OEM circuit board the lights plug into itself will melt so make sure you check those as well as the lights. Rear main seals are another thing as well.

I bought my 2007 dodge ram 1500 hemi brand new in 2007 and ive had zero issues with it, it just started misfiring the first cylinder after 130,000 miles but im sure its because ive never replaced the spark plugs wich i should have done a while ago. Its been a really good truck over the years i mainly use it as a farm truck, work truck, and hunting truck now. It may have lower mileage but I’ve definitely given it a beating over time, but thats why i love it. It has withstood the beating and now is a perfect work truck.

@willpulera7303 2 жыл бұрын

That's right about the milage where everything begins. On my 06 RAM I had to replace the wheel hub assemblies on both sides, water pump, alternator, pcv valve, starter, fuel pump in the dead of winter, serpentine belt tensioner pulley, thermostat, and most every one of these things went out while driving on the freeway during the coldest time of year. Other than those parts which routinely go bad on all vehicles, I have not had any major engine or transmission problems at all and I currently have 230k miles and climbing on my 2006 RAM 1500 5.7l Big Horn. Overall it has been a very reliable work truck that takes a great amount of abuse and keeps ticking.

I bought a 2008 Ram 1500 with 150k miles on the 4.7 hemi for a really good price (under $10k). It had an exhaust leak that came and went but mostly audile at idle. Turns out a common issue is the hemi torque/heat can break the header bolts closest to the firewall over time. I took it to a shop and 2 header gaskets and $400 later they replaced all the header bolts and it's quiet now. One other issue that is common is the low beam can go out on one side (usually passenger). Its the TPMS/under hood fuse box combo unit and they cost almost $900 so for now I just ran a jumper wire between the headlights... other than that very strong engine and trans I tow a 20ft toy hauler trailer no problemo.

Another known major problem with these years of Dodge Rams is the A/C diverter. The diverter flap locate behind the glove box is made of cheap plastic and the clips holding the diverter in place crack, making the diverter hang down and block-off the a/c coming into the cabin. The only way to properly repair/replace it is to remove the entire dash, costing a small fortune in labor charges. Another problem is that Dodge also used this same inferior plastic for a few years on the construction of the entire dash under the windshield. EVERY single 2002-2006? Ram has a cracked or totally shattered dash. Dodge changed to a better plastic in newer models, but even though they acknowledge this problem as their fault, they refuse to recall and replace these inferior parts, since it's not life-threatening, like the recall on both airbags. They hounded me with incessant, non-stop phone calls until I got the airbags fixed, but I'm MUCH more concerned about the a/c and shattered dash, which destroys the resale value.

I have ran seafoam through the intake on pretty much every vehicle I've owned, (honestly mostly because the absurd amount of smoke is hilarious) and the only time that made any difference was on a 3.7. It had a clatter when cold that I thought was piston slap. Must have been carbon. Still hear it a bit but 100x better after seafoam.

I've seen many problems with the 1-2 shift due to the filter draining back into the pan also on the dodge 9.25 in rear end the pinion seals love to leak a ton. As for the interior, the blend and mode doors will break from so many extreme heat cycles (I'm from Texas) as have mine in both vehicles and requires dash removal.

Never any major issues with it other than the 0440 code that I assumed was from my straight pipe dual exhaust (cat-back). I’ve got 35x12.5x17 mud tires and it still will break loose if I gas it hard from a stop. I love my truck. Wouldn’t sell it for anything.

I’ve had cylinder misfires with my 2006. I also have a lack of AC/cool air coming from my vents, like it’s blocked off. I haven’t had EVAP codes, but my dad’s charger has for years. I’ve also gotten transmission solenoid codes before, and the vehicle has stalled while driving many times. It only has 165,000 original miles and is now toast thanks to a blown head gasket :( This video is actually a pretty accurate representation of 3rd gen problems. I’d highly recommend you avoid these trucks based off of my ownership of 2 of them. Neither made it close to 200k.

There is only one solenoid , Transmission shift solenoid. I had to replace mine in my '05 Ram 5.7V8. Went ahead and replaced the Transmission filter and I'm pretty sure they're was some gasket work to be done, if I'm remembering correctly. I want to say I had to scrape the old gasket off and replaced it with both a new paper gasket and a tube of gasket maker cream, put all hundred and twenty five (kidding) bolts back in plenum , sealed it all up, poured fresh Transmission fluid in and was rolling again within minutes. i tried to pressure wash my mess off the driveway , I just couldn't get it all up off the driveway ...That weekend was just a little challenging for me, she is still running well though-- byby --thanks for putting up video.

No major problems, just the right front wheel bearing, back left door won't electric lock, and rust starting at the back box (it was kept for the most part in a garage). But for normal maintenance about $500 dollars to change all 16 spark plugs at a Dodge dealer! Only one more complaint, the tires wore out 😂. But I do love the truck so far.

I've heard mixed opinions- mostly that the Oil Sludge build's up due to faulty design - and Cooling System has design flaws also-? I'm also hearing that transmission typically go out at 100k ? Is that to be expected on HARD driven or ALL 2002 Ram 1500 transmissions?

I had a 2002 Ram 1500 regular cab short bed. Had a manual and the 4.7 V8. Over 200k miles and ran perfectly fine. Sadly, I got into a wreck and it was totaled.

@misterrbl5156 3 жыл бұрын

The radiator will almost certainly have to be replaced. I have an 07 5.7 thunder road slt hemi and have replaced the radiator twice as well as the water pump. My best advice is use after market parts oem is great but damned expensive. The water pump from dodge was $600. the after market was $250. The problem with the dodge radiators are they have plastic sides and will eventually crack and leak. All things considered I have 145000 miles on my truck and other than having to replace normal ware and tear items it has paid for itself ten times over. In fact my next truck will be a ram.

I have a 2003 dodge ram 1500 with a 5.7 . Been having problems with oil pressure. Had the pump replaced but the guy did not change the pickup tube. Had the pressure sensor replaced. Still have issues with oil pressure you can drive vehicle for about 20 min and pressure will drop and the get the rattle . Turn vehicle off and pressure again for around 15 min then drop and rattle. Has mopar filter heard some filter cause issues. Have put mechanical gauge on to and reads the same . Thinking maybe pickup tube but any help would be appreciated before spending a full day trying to replace pick tube .

Put in one of those steering box reinforcing braces. Nope. Everything that looked like it could have been causing the wobble was replaced. Nothing solved the problem. The wobble was still there. Then . . . . . I got new tires. Shazam! The wobble disappeared. I put heavy duty tires on my truck with stronger sidewalls. I haven't had a death wobble since. It was the tires all along.
