MileageProblem
10 I've had aproblem with the idle since I got the truck with 10 miles on it, But now I'm having it seen to.The idle problem I'm having is this - when the air or heat(middle knob is ON) is on, the idle will hang around 1000 rpm's when you mash the clutch in and you're moving.When the middle knob is in the off position,the idle will fluctuate greatly when the clutch is mashed in(between 400&900rpm's). When you come to a complete stop with the clutch mashed in,the idle likes to hunt around about 3 times going from about 350 to 700 rpm's and settling at 600.When the motor hits 350-400 rpm's, it shakes pretty good and feels like it's going to die.Right now, Dodge is trying to blame this problem on winter gas mixes in the warmer southern states,but I think that they just don't know what the problem is and don't want to say it.The percentage of 4.7L owners having similar problems is overwhelming. I think this a is a serious problem and it concerns me greatly.
