Dodge D350 Problems
Revised rear brake shoes
Vehicles equipped with 12" diameter rear brakes may encounter premature rear brake shoe wear. If it is found that the brake system is functioning as designed the repair would be to replace the affected brake shoes with revised parts.
Transmission failure due to lack of lubrication
Pinched or restricted transmission oil cooler lines can cause transmission failure due to lack of lubrication. Our technicians recommend complete inspection of the transmission cooler and lines if this type of failure is noted.
Engine Knocking Noise From Carbon Buildup
Carbon buildup on the top of the piston is common. Over time this can lead to symptoms varying from light ticking to knocking noises. Performing a fuel injector cleaning procedure can often help the condition by removing some of the piston top deposits.
Engine Oil Leaks
Oil leaks from the valve cover gaskets, timing cover gasket, distributor o-ring, and rear main seal area are common. The leak at the rear main seal area is generally not the seal itself but the bearing cap to the engine block seal. An oil leak could also be internal to the distributor, if oil is found inside the distributor then the distributor should be replaced.
Engine damage due to faulty oil filter
Moderate to severe engine damage may result from using non-DaimlerChrysler approved oil filters. Our technicians tell us that the neoprene compounds used in the manufacture of the unapproved filters may separate from the filter and lodge in the piston cooling nozzle blocking the oil spray from the affected nozzles.

Dodge D350 Stories
D-350 2x4 deully club cab. Runs flawless with over 300,000 miles,Found records in glove box of work done at over 300k a few years before I bought. Engine had been replaced with rebuilt. I had trans. rebuilt. Speedometer and odometer don't work, suspension is super stiff, if you run over a speed bump in parking lot you think someone hit you with a 2x4. Tough truck, does what is for, a/c still works, also cruise control. Power window on passenger side doesn't. Not the most comfortable but gets the job done. Had people approach and ask if they could buy,but not interested. Like the old girl.
This has been an outstanding vehicle for me. I have 132,000 miles on it. The only problems I have is some sort of short with the A/C and power windows. If it wasn't for my rear sliding windows and wing vents, hot days would be unbearable. Other than that, I don't plan to ever buy another vehicle. I have owned this truck for 7 years and have traveled Florida to New York and found it to be more comfortable than any car I have rented or owned.
