NHTSA # EA198010 HEADLIGHT SWITCH RECALL EXCLUDED THE B1500 AND B2500 SERIES STATING THAT THE POWER DRAW IS NOT AS GREAT AS THE B3500 SERIES. THIS IS IN ERROR. MY 1995 B2500 BURNED OUT THIS SAME LIGHT SWITCH AND LEFT ME WITH NO HEADLIGHTS. (I HAVE NOT ADDED ANY ADDITIONAL LIGHTING). I REQUEST THAT EA98010 BE REOPENED TO INCLUDE THE B1500 AND B2500 SERIES TRUCKS AS THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHICH IS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE B3500 SERIES. I REPLACED THE SWITCH AT MY EXPENSE AND CAN SEND YOU THE OLD ONE IF YOU NEED IT. *TR

DEATH WOBBLE. I HAVE BEEN HAVING CONSTANT PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT END OF MY DODGE RAM 2500, MOST RECENTLY AFTER REPLACING THE STEERING KNUCKLES, TIE RODS IN THE STABILIZER BAR, BUSHINGS IN THE STABILIZER ARMS, ALL THE BALL JOINTS, AND TRACK ARM, AND CONSTANTLY BALANCING TIRES IT HAS DEVELOPED WHAT ALL THE BLOGS ARE CALLING THE "DEATH WOBBLE" I'M GETTING SICK AND TIRED OF REPLACING EVERYTHING IN THE FRONT END OF THIS TRUCK WITH NO DECENT FIXES AVAILABLE ON THE PART OF DODGE. THIS SHAKE AND WOBBLE IS SO VIOLENT THAT IF THERE WERE ICE OR WATER ON THE ROAD, I AM SURE SOMEONE COULD EASILY BE KILLED AT 70 MPH. *TR
