The Dodge Ram 1500ecm experiences issues like the check engine light coming on and the engine stalling. It's recommended to replace the air filter every 15,000 to 30,000 miles. Coolant should be changed every 60,000 miles, and spark plugs typically need replacement every 100,000 miles, unless they are copper, in which case replacement is required every 30,000 miles. Engine problems can include oil leaks, loose gaskets that need immediate tightening, spark plugs popping off causing engine problems, and excessive oil consumption requiring more frequent changes. One critical concern is engine overheating, which poses a risk of fires and even explosions in the vehicle.
