This is just a run down on repairs I made to my vehicle, but they are problems that should have been taken care of at the factory. First of all, the brake problem still exists. This is the only vehicle that I know of that has to have air in the front caliphers to work. I had to put bearings in both front and rear differential assemblies. The front one came from the factory without a bearing in the left side of the differential assembly.

When trying to use headlights high beam, the head lights would go out all together. Bill luke dodge replaced a component and then it happened again. A vibration was noted at aroud 27 MPH when the truck had less that 5,000 miles. It took two trips to get them to recognize the problem an fix it by replacing the drive shaft under warrenty. You asked the question if the truck had been in a crash. It was a less than 10 MPH fender bender when a van pulled into the side of the truck. The paint is peeling off the roof and some on the side of the box.
