2002 dodge ram 1500 4.7 engine. I have 3 complaints. The first is the engine oil pressure dropping to 0. I understand from looking at complaint sites a lot of people are having this problem. Many have had to replace the engines. My other problem is cosmetic. The dash in my truck is cracked in about 8 places. I have talked to others and they are having the same issues. The third complaint is the radiator failed and had to be replaced. It had plastic tanks which cracked. I think chrysler should make these problems right.

I'm a mechanic I change the oil regularly with valvoline and the engine sludges up . This weekend went out of town and the engine lost oil pressure causing it to blow up resulting in my family getting stranded 400 miles from home. It took four days and a 1000.00 to get it back home and now it sits in my driveway because I don't have the money for a new engine . 2002 dodge ram 4.7l .

At 42000 miles the oil pressure gauge started dropping at the top of a hill. In less then a minutes the truck shut itself down. I drifted down the hill and tried to start it. There was no response. I called the dealer and had it towed. They requested all receipts for oil changes and ordered a new engine. They had said that thier mechanic put a breaker bar on it and couldn't move the engine. It had seized. When the new engine arrived a week later the mechanic went out to pull it in to swap engines. He forgot and tried to start it and it started right up. They called me and told me to pick it up that there was nothing wrong with it. At 52000 miles my engine began knocking. I took it to the dealership garage. Before even touching the vehicle the garage requisted all oil change receipts. Which I supplied to them. After removing the oil pan the service manager informed me that there were pieces of bearings in the oil pan and that the engine had to be replaced for "around" $5200. He then stated that my extended warranty would not cover it due to sludge in the bottom of the oil pan. He believed the oil to be changed "incorrectly".
