I am freaking out, I am new to this forum and I just bought a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 Hemi. 51000 on it looks good, doest seem to have had a bad life./ I drove it for 2 days, with one day having an hour trip in it, no problems. I go out and start it up today and the truck starts right up but I noticed it wasn’t running right, is started to spit and sputter. It eventually got worse until it just died. It now cranks but does not fire. Any suggestion would be great (please don’t tell me it’s the valves) like I have been reading. Thanks

you should take the truck back and get you rmoney back, you have every legal right to. i think some states give you 3 days under implied warranty

 

Check and see what codes you have if any. Could be just a crank sensor.

 

Are the crank sensors known to go out in these trucks?

I know this may sound like a dumb question, but you didn't by chance put diesel fuel in it did you???

 

No i didnt put diesel fuel in it, i acutally filled put 40 bucks in it, it filled it up and the gauge also shows its full, but it felt like a fuel problem.

 

Cody, where you located. Check your warranty book, some states have an extended fuel system warranty and call DC and see what powertrain warranty you have.

 

in florida you got 3 days to cancel a contract

 

I bought the truck off an average dealer, it wasnt a dodge chrysler dealer though. The thing is i drove an Hour away to get the truck. I love the truck i would like to keep it but if this is how its starting out, i can only imagine whats next

I'd look into the 3 day law and the clock is ticking.
