When I first got my 03 I was getting 19 mpg. Now I have this obnactous knocking noise and I am getting 12 to 13. 5 mpg. I have had the truck in at 3 different Dodge 5 star service shops. I want a 10 star repair shop, one that can fix it. They tell me that is normal, some have better fuel milage...

03,, #2 replaced, computer reflashed, several other checks, it still knocks and the more they work on it, the MPG gets worst. I know I was getting 19 when I first bought the truck, 13. 5 before they started to get their gruby fingers on the engine, now I am getting 12. Word of advise, don't take...

I ran 2 tanks of fuel using fuel conditioner after the last time I had the engine checked for the knocking noise. I still get 13 to 11 miles per gallon and it still knocks. I will be taking it in again and see where Star wants to go or more than likely not go from here.

Tony T. my family and friends said the same thing about the noise. My buddy didn't like the response I recieved from the different dealership brushing me off on the noise. He bought a Chev just because of the noise and the stock reply from the service mechanics #32 "no abnormal sounds" and #33...

I have been to 3 dealers so far. My truck sat in the line up for an hour in Cottage Grove Oregon at Kendall Dodge and they didn't even go look at it. They checked their computer for any TSA's and found none there and told me it's normal and there is nothing wrong. I am finally getting response...

Mine is an 03, dealer did a reflash of the computer a couple of times, they said they replaced the #2 injector. I have no improvement from the noise.

I hate the noise and now I hate the DC This sounds line mine. This is not the same engine when I bought it. My fuel mileage dropped 18 to 13. 5. The dealer worked on it and the mileage dropped to 11. They worked on it for a week and now it is back up to 13. 5. I have 24000 miles on it and I am...

I was able to get my CD out by teasing the system during eject with an old CD like the clear one you get with a stack of recordable cd's. During eject I would push the old cd in the slot just a little bit and it would free up CD in the machine. My player like's Clint Black.

A funny thing happened to my X on my tail gate. I set a bottle of Snapple on the bumper right below the X, of coarse I opened the tail gate. The top of the bottle sheared the X off perfectly without damaging anything. :-laf HA, I picked up the X from the ground and took a look at it and said...

I just had one of my injectors replaced. 5 times to 3 different dealerships, I finally got a mechanic, (not a parts replacer) to listen to me and the engine at the sametime. The engine was quiet at idle, I drop it in to drive at idle and the engine knocks. He did a kill test and found that the...

23000 miles on the truck now, I finaly got a Dodge mechanic to listen to me and truck at the same time. Like always, they go down the normal list of reasons and causes of noise in the engine. This time he acknowledged that it is making a little bit more noise than normal comparing normal idle to...

Look underneath the power steering pump and check for an oil leak. I just had one of the hoses replaced by the dealer.

I got the rattle noise also. I have taken my truck to 3 different dealers so far. I have learned that if the computer don't tell them anything then there must not be anything wrong. I am sure they turn the key and check the codes. I am trying to find a real mechanic who know's how to listen...

Hey dude, is this the MARROONED truck with the big ass HOOK hangin off the back?
