Hemi has had a flickering engine light.  It flickers now and aqain for
no apparent reason.  It statered flicker about 6 months ago.  I took it
in for service but they could not find anything wrong.  A month later
it went continuous and they replaced some lines on the gas tank. I
Drove it off and the light started the flickering again. Took it back
and they could find anything wrong. Two days ago became constant again
and the problem they say was a faulty leak detector.  Drove it off and
the engine light started flickering again.  Its back in the shop and
I'm getting pissed.  I think the Dodge shop is just repairing what they
THINK is the problem and just clearing the code. Any ideas.

Something is faulting intermittantly, First thing to do here is to get
out of the dark and read what is going on. Go to a Advanced Auto or
the like and they can code read your truck for free and see what the
errors are so that you have some first hand knowledge in your pocket
when you go to dealer as to what may actually be wrong.

Yep - or he can do it himself by cycling the ignition switch three times and
reading the codes on the odometer.  It'll save him a trip...

Real Trucks don't NEED spark plugs

Thanks guys.  I've gotten the codes P0441, something with the evap
system. The first time dodge said the tank was lossing pressure and
replaced the evap lines on top of the tank, this time it was the leak
detector. They are shooting in the dark. I'm getting so frustrated i've
been thinking about getting rid of the ram, even though I like it a
lot.
getting rammed
