#3176 of 3275 4.7L missing on #2 cylinder by matt1954 Aug 08, 2006 (5:52 pm)
I have a 2002 1500 Q/C with the 4.7L engine. It has 53,000 miles and until the week has been a perfect truck. This week it decided to start missing out on the #2 cylinder at idle. When you take off it cleans itself out pretty quick and runs fine, but has soon has you stop at a light it does it again. I have changed all 8 plugs, changed the ignition coil on #2, and changed #2 fuel injector. This still has no change. I have also noticed in the past week i have added a gallon and a half of coolant, but it never leaves a puddle. My fear is that it may be a head gasket. I can't think of anything else it may be. May someone out there has an idea?? Replies to this message: airmendoz (Aug 09, 2006 7:55 am)
#3177 of 3275 '94 1500 draining battery when ignition is shut off by 05spectra5sask Aug 08, 2006 (7:50 pm)
Help, has anyone experienced this problem? The only way I can use the truck is to disconnect the negative terminal on the battery. I have pulled fuses to no avail, I still get a bit of an arc when I reconnect the negative cable. This just started happening about a month ago. The only thing I noticed happening is that the radio can be turned on without the ignition switch being at the ACC position. Could it be an ignition switch problem? I have had trouble with the headlights going out when the tilt wheel is put into the lowered position.   Thanks for your time

Replying to: chiefusn1 (Apr 02, 2005 2:22 pm) same thing happened to me but at the same time #7 fuel injector clogged and I lost power but still managed to get it home on 7 cylinders.also check your oil pressure with a guage to make sure your oil pick up screen is not clogged I ended up replaceing mine because of sludge build up then i cleaned the engine with engine flush.

Replying to: matt1954 (Aug 08, 2006 5:52 pm) Hello there, I was reading your post and it was a complete DEJVU, my father has the same truck and the problems he encountered were the same as yours. We took the truck 5 times to the dealer and had the engine reconstructed twice. The problem was a crack on the engine where the coolant was going into the engine causing the engine to shut off at times (when turning, stoping, or turning and accelerating). Another symptom our truck had besides the consumption of coolant was a weird smell (like an uneven burning of gas) and somethimes a darker smoke coming out of the exhaust. Good luck!

#3182 of 3275 2000 RAM 4x4 reg cab short box w/90,000 miles by crisp1 Aug 10, 2006 (12:28 pm)
Just wondering if anybody can tell me why my brakes grab after they get moisture on them. The wetter they are the worse they will grab the first few times I use them after a rain etc. Other people driving my pickup say they always grab some, but I must be used to them. The brakes lock up after the pickup has been sitting and collecting water as far as I can tell. ccrisp1 Replies to this message: mac24 (Aug 10, 2006 1:05 pm)

Replying to: crisp1 (Aug 10, 2006 12:28 pm) Surface rust on the discs and drums from condensation. It's common to many vehicles.
#3184 of 3275 Gauges don't work on my 2000 4wd Dodge 1500 by mattr408 Aug 10, 2006 (3:20 pm)
I wonder if anyone else has had this problem. All the sudden my gauges (Speedometer, tach, fuel, oil pressure, battery and temp) all stopped working and 4 warning lights came on - yellow check engine , abs, low fuel and brake. And the digital odometer says "no bus" A little disconcerting to drive like this. After a couple of days everything worked again, and then after month, they all stopped. I assume a loose wire, but if anyone has had this problem, please let me know!   thanks, Matt Replies to this message: kcram (Aug 12, 2006 6:25 pm) dustyk (Aug 13, 2006 5:31 am) frh (Aug 13, 2006 11:15 pm) and 2 more... frh (Aug 13, 2006 11:12 pm) mac24 (Aug 14, 2006 9:21 am)

Replying to: raindancer (Jul 31, 2006 3:10 pm) Not sure if this will help, but your problem sounds very similar to one I had recently. It was resolved by replacing the throttle position sensor. Good luck!
