    Default Dodge Death Wobble

    I saw two newer dodge ram trucks with a rear hub sheared off this winter - one stopped at a traffic light the other loaded onto a tow truck flatbed. This seems to be a problem on some Ram Trucks. At least if the rear wheel falls off you don't have to worry about the Dodge Death Wobble.

    I have always had Dodge's from 1500 through 3500 and never had a problem yet. Being commercial they all go in regular for MVI's so that must have something to do with it. I did have a Jeep, Grand Wagoneer that would behave like that when the 50/50 shock wore out though. Scary as hell no matter.

    I have Dodge products as well - Ram/Caravan and have not had a problem- knock on wood/plastic.

    Not an unusual problem on vehicles with poor maintanence.

The second is that to love someone means you agree with everything they believe or do. Both are nonsense. You don’t have to compromise convictions to be compassionate.''
