#3186 of 3275 RAM Repair Parts Source by flyingdragon Aug 10, 2006 (5:36 pm)
I am increasingly unhappy with both the poor quality of dealer performed services/repairs and the cost of labor and parts. I'd like to start doing as much preventive and corrective maintenance as possible myself. I'd appreciate suggestions on good sources for RAM repair parts, especially on-line sources. Thanks!

Replying to: flyingdragon (Aug 10, 2006 5:36 pm) While there are many excellent online parts suppliers (just use Google), it can be inconvenient if you have to return or change something. You should find everything you need for regular servicing and maintenance at your local NAPA, or autoparts store.
#3189 of 3275 No power by ttbone74 Aug 12, 2006 (9:25 am)
I have a 1997 dodge ram 1500 360 5.9L with 102,000 miles on it. My problem is that it has no power when you stomp down on the pedal. I have changed plugs, wires, o2 sensors, throttle postioning sensor, and coil pack. I am at a loss. Anybody with any thoughts on the matter?

Replying to: ttbone74 (Aug 12, 2006 9:25 am) Does the transmission kick down when you go to full throttle? Replies to this message: soho033 (Oct 03, 2006 12:55 pm) mac24 (Oct 03, 2006 2:15 pm)

Replying to: mattr408 (Aug 10, 2006 3:20 pm) The NO BUS message means your dash has lost communication with the main computer (as opposed to a lack of nearby Greyhound service). It has probably generated a trouble code in the computer, and that should help pinpoin the problem.   kcram - Pickups Host Replies to this message: dustyk (Aug 13, 2006 5:31 am) frh (Aug 13, 2006 11:15 pm) mac24 (Aug 14, 2006 7:52 am) 99dodge (Aug 17, 2006 4:08 am)

Replying to: ttbone74 (Aug 12, 2006 9:25 am) Well, it could be a number of things. Does this engine start okay and run fine for a short while, then become very weak? If so, I would suspect a defective catalytic converter.   If this engine starts hard, idles poorly and/or runs rough most of the time, it might be a bad intake manifold gasket.   A bad fuel pump can also cause a similar symptom.   Good luck, Dusty

Replying to: kcram (Aug 12, 2006 6:25 pm) I'm not sure, but on Dakotas when a "No Bus" message is displayed, a diagnostic trouble code cannot be retrieved via the ignition key diagnostic entry method. This might require an OBD-II reader in order to obtain the problem code.   Best regards, Dusty Replies to this message: frh (Aug 13, 2006 11:15 pm) mac24 (Aug 14, 2006 7:52 am) 99dodge (Aug 17, 2006 4:08 am)

Replying to: mattr408 (Aug 10, 2006 3:20 pm) Matt,   I have the EXACT same problem with my 99 Ram 4x4. I took the truck to an auto parts store and had them put the code computer on it and there was no trouble codes stored or reported. I don't think the check engine light is actually on for a problem, but just on with the rest of the lights. The truck will still run.   This seems to be a pretty popular problem, has anyone got any other ideas? I'm going to search the web and dealers for any recall notices about the problem. Does anyone know where to go to view any recalls on your vehicle? If anyone would please respond it would be appreciated.   Regards- RobH Replies to this message: mac24 (Aug 14, 2006 9:21 am)

Replying to: dustyk (Aug 13, 2006 5:31 am) What is the difference between an OBD-II and any other code reader? Does it still plug into the port under the dash? How can you get this checked as you seem to know more about it than most?   Thanks and Regards, RobH Replies to this message: mac24 (Aug 14, 2006 7:52 am) 99dodge (Aug 17, 2006 4:08 am)
