This truck body started breaking out behind the cab soon after I bought it. The engine has never ran right from day one. It was in the dodge shop numerous times because of poor fuel milage, and then dodge finally agreed to send the truck to cummins. Cummins found that truck had bad milage also and wrote letter to dodge stating the problems they found. Dodge more or less said tough, don't bother us! The engine had boken push rod at low milage and now an injector melted top out of piston ruining the engine.
