2003 Hemi, 5.7L, Ram QC 1500, 2-WD, 48,000 miles
All routine & scheduled maintenance always done.

Pulled out in traffic yesterday, lost power, engine died.
When restarted, it spit & sputtered, with loud vibrations,
sounded like engine was tearing itself up.

Dealer believes the 7/70 power-train may cover repairs,
less $100 ded.  Awaiting verification & confirmation.

Anyone else ever experience this?   Causes?

Any comments appreciated.

Thanks

This is a known issue with earlier 5.7L's.  Am told certain build dates
had the wrong springs installed resulting in early failure.  It should
be covered by the 7/70.

I hope my 2004 Durango doesn't have that issue.  Not sure when it was
completely corrected.
