Lare,
I have a 99 V10 and on a good day get 10 - 12 mpg. These BIG BLOCK motors do drink a lot of gas. I got ours to pull our 10,000 lb travel trailer with and it doesn't even cough going uphill. Even though it drinks a ton of gas, I love my V10! I just had to have my motor replaced because the person who had it before me didn't do oil changes on a regular basis and sludge blew up the top end .

Fuel system rusting from inside. by larznach

I have a 2004 Ram 1500 quad cab hemi. The check engine light came on and was running rough. The dealer told me I needed my sparkplugs replaced. This did not fix the problem. They eventually found rust in fuel injectors and fuel rail. No rust was found in gas tank. Has anyone heard of this before. I am getting no help (warranty wise) paying for this because everyone tells me it was a contamination issue. Any information is greatly appreciated.

Had similar problem with '02 Durango 5.9. Fuel rail had rusted on the inside due to water in gas. Some rust particles clogged one of the injectors and caused rough running and "check engine" light to come on. Could also have been some rust in fuel line(metal). Won't find any rust in your plastic gas tank. The new "E-10" gas that contains 10% ethanol is notorious for absorbing and holding any water that might be in the fuel. It will burn OK but can cause corrosion along the way. Hope this helps.

Could be a clogged injector. It would run very rough if that were the case. Re-check the plug wire connections at both ends.

Slow to start by swanney

I have a 03 Quadcab 1500 4.7, sometimes it will start when you hit the key, others time it will turn quite a few times and as you let up on the key it will start. The dearler said to wait until it won't start and get it fixed.

Switch the ASD and Fuel Pump Relays around and see if that makes a difference.

My 1999 2500 stalls when shifted into reverse when engine is warmed up, and twice has stalled in drive when stopping from highway speed. Any Suggestions?
Thanks, Berry
