I have had this issue for 2 plus years. I know for a fact the trucks fall under this as well. The amount time and frustration trying toget the dealer and Chrysler to own up to this is unreal . I had to almost drive it down the throats of the techs that it's an mds issue and timing chain issue. Chain was replaced about two weeks ago and is good so far, but to speak of the unprofessional side of both the dealer and Chrysler is unreal. I'm not finished as I see they both know the issue and are covering up the facts. I'm in the protest of getting of getting docs and recordings made to Chrysler for the sake of possible legal procedure. There is many of us out there as posted on many other threads. To be told by your dealer that your truck is drivable and it poses not safety risk then just drive it. Seriously*~~ anyone wants more details please contact me through here and I can give full storey. Good luck to all, and yes. Their is no difference wth issue regardless of truck or car. Chrysler seems to be gambling on no fatalities and having people get frustrated enough to just trade in their vehicle. Something I refuse to do.

Tone ring
I got a block from a 5.7 hemi from a guy out of a charger and installed it in my 04 dodge ram 1500 which had a hemi to begin with I rebuilt it top to bottom now it won't idle and feels like it's only running on half the cylinders would the crank tone ring make a difference or am I looking in the wrong area

The Ram computer has no way to handle the MDS that is in the car engine. The truck engines don't have MDS. The recommendation is to remove the MDS from the car engine There's an aftermarket kit to do that. BTY you are running on 4 cylinders.

Where did you get that the Ram 1500 trucks don't have mds?Chrysler started using the mds in the Ram 1500(1500 only) 5.7L trucks in 2006.
