I have always been a dodge owner most of my life there was one big ford
mistake years ago which made me an even stronger dodge man,Well anyway
I got my current 97,ram with 56,000 miles on it and so far have had
nothing but problems Starter,a long hesitation when you place it in
drive sometimes where it just sits like its in nuteral (and yes I
checked the fluid level and its ok) and eventualy with a loud clunk it
goes into gear finally on its own ,it also has that viberation at about
45 mph is when it starts almost like a front end viberation I  have
goodyear tires ,when i put it in 4wd and turn the wheel hard right or
left it does make noise and seems to kinda bump along oddly ,,the brake
lines went ,broke between the gas tank and frame of the truck so I had
to take it in to have it repaired because of the location which
required it to have to be put up on a lift,and funny how when i called
they told me exactly where the rupture in the brake line was A defect
in design which causes it to rot out there ,well all lines were in bad
shape after 56,000 miles and had to be replaced i saw the lines they
were horriable,the damage $500.00 bucks ,Now what makes me wonder is I
hardly ever go off roading with it and only put about 10,000 miles on
it a year at best seems to me thease problems are a bit premature for
the light use it gets anyone else having similar problems ,by the way
be prepared to pay $200.000 for the cheapest starter you can get but
you do get a core charge back for the old one still way over priced for
a starter.   Smal
