Replying to: frh (Aug 13, 2006 11:15 pm) OBDII isn't a brand, it's a standard, in fact the second iteration of OBDI. Retained codes can be read and reset by many makes of inexpensive OBDII compliant readers. However, for interactive diagnostics and system manipulation, more expensive and complex scan tools are needed.

Replying to: frh (Aug 13, 2006 11:12 pm) I can't speak for your Dodge but it's a common problem on Jeeps. Symptoms are the same and a trouble code isn't set. The cause is poor contact being made in the multiple connection block on the back of the instrument panel. The cure is a tweaking of the connection pins and the application to the sockets of dielectric grease.

Replying to: jb10 (Jul 28, 2005 4:52 pm) I own a 2004 4x4 2500 and the steering box has failed twice in 52,000 miles. The first one was replaced under the warranty I was told that something was wearing out. This second time I had the steering box rebuilded by Benchworks Steering in Scotsdale and they told me that the backlash adjustment was overthighten. Seems to me that the adjustment screw overthighten on its own since it has not been touched. The steering did not align after a turn. It was fine for 25,000 miles but in the last 2 weeks the problem developed little by little to the point it was hard to drive on the highway. Now it drives like new. I still do not know why that happened.

#3201 of 3275 2003 5.7 quad cab brake lights by mrrk Aug 18, 2006 (1:06 pm)
I have a lamp out message on my dash. Neither of my rear brake lights work, however the brake light near the roof on the back of the cab does work.   The bulbs are good. I have checked all the fuses and the relays...they are good. I also checked the brake plunger (not the right name) behind the brake petal, its not stuck.   When I intital check my fuses I had one rear right fuse blown and I replaced it. I believe this blew when I connect my boat trailer lights...which are not working either..   Any thoughts or directions on some of the next steps- Thank you very much in advance!

Replying to: luckyman1 (Aug 19, 2006 6:05 am) I've no idea................and if you're referring to your last post, you were asking if you should fit smaller tires on the rear. Can't think why that would be a good idea either.

#3205 of 3275 Loosing power sometimes by angelbear Aug 21, 2006 (7:49 am)
I have a question. I have a Dodge 2500 4x4 diesel 5 speed. It runs good most of the time when Iam not pulling anything in town it is fine if I get on the interstate it will start loosing speed and when the RPM gets to just under 2 you have to gear down then it will pick up for a few minutes and then you can feel it kick back out and you have to keep shifting from 4 to 5 to keep speed and power up. If you are pulling a trailer it is even worse...any info would be great was just kinda wanting to get an idea if it sounded like something major or minor. Fuel filter has been replaced also.
