2005 Dodge RAM 1500 fuel system problems

Filed Jul 12, 2025 · Fuel system · NY

Pulled in driveway and without warning the rear gas tank strap broke due to corrosion, which left my gas tank hanging about 2 inches off the ground. Thankfully this did not happen when I was on the highway. The tank drop could have made contact with the road surface which could abrade the tank, create a hole from which gasoline can spill and cause a fire hazard, accidents with other vehicles, bodily injury and possibly death. We replaced the straps but felt it was important to make this report due to us finding recalls on gas straps for other Dodge Ram trucks. I feel there should be a mandatory check and replace notice on these gas straps.

This will be the 4th time since late 2020 that this vehicle will stall either at a stop or at low speed. EGR valve has been replaced 3 times. You lose power steering and harder to brake but for the grace of God my wife has not had an accident. If you search online there are hundreds of similar complaints.

This aftermarket throttle body was on the truck when I purchased it 4 months ago. I live in Georgia and bought the car in Florida. In driving it home 400 miles, I noticed in stop and go traffic, the throttle was sticking. It would stick between 1500-2500 RPM with the clutch engaged (vehicle not in gear). I also noticed when I let off the throttle, I would continue my speed or even accelerate versus slowing down. I contacted BBK and they told me to ship it to them to be repaired, but that means I would be without my vehicle for weeks. Then I ask about this in a Facebook group and it appears this is a common, known issue. Even people who have bought a "reconditioned" throttle body from BBK have this same issue. I notice no where have you asked for the manufacturer's info so here it is: BBK PERFORMANCE 3060 Performance Circle, DeLand, FL 32724 Also here is the product on their website: https://www.bbkperformance.com/dodge-srt-10-throttle-body-04-06.html

I want to make a complaint because the engine in my 2005 dodge ram 1500 Magnum stalling very often, engine stalling on the traffic freeway couple of times that I have to restart the vehicle quick, good thing cars going slow. The most scary time was when I was making a right turn on this busy avenue and the engine stalled and almost got hit by other's cars the engine stalling very often that already know when it dies I put it on P and restart it as quick as I can before I get hit by other car. The next issue. It makes a grinding sound underneath when taking off at very low speed. I not sure if it is the differential or a wheel but it something there I took it to the mechanic he fix something that was woren it connects to the differential but still makes the noyse. Too many problems with this truck.
