| I am currently in a wheelchair, unable to walk or even stand. It has been almost 4 weeks and I have 4 more left before I can attempt to walk! I was apparently thrown from my 1995 DODGE RAM 3/4 TON CUMMINS DIESEL AUTOMATIC, LONG BED, EXTENDED CAB when it rolled/flipped. This truck rolling is unbelievable to me and I am having trouble finding where this has happened involving this same type of truck. I was 1 mile from my home, there are no marks on the pavement in the slight curve where this happened. It happened off the road in the grass. The area was pretty flat, no ditches, culverts, poles, nothing! I did see the truck briefly since the accident and I have to say it did not look like a wreck anyone lived through. Unfortunately, I do not remember anything about the wreck due to swelling on my brain. This truck had no power, it was very luggy. I was not in a hurry so I can not imagine why this close from home I would have been speeding. I have come across information online concerning the 94' and 95' Dodge trucks stating that there are problems with the steering, acceleration, brakes and other parts, that are uncontrollable. There have been many wrecks with accidents and even deaths, but the information online is watched by the Chrysler/Dodge Co. and blocked or removed. So if anyone knows anything about this particular truck or knows of anyone who has rolled one, PLEASE respond as quick as possible either on this thread, or email me at mybarrelhorsemyrules@yahoo.com Any information and/or assistance will be greatly appreciated. |

| Hopr you get back up and walking real soon. As for rolling a truck it isnt real hard to do I have rolled several. One at low soeed on flat ground. It slid slightly and broke the bead on the front tire and dug in and that did it. Probally not a manufacturer malfunction on one that old that hasnt been recalled.
