#3213 of 3275 Re: 2006 3500 engine knocks [1pacman] by loncray Aug 25, 2006 (5:39 am)
Replying to: 1pacman (Aug 24, 2006 3:14 pm) What does it sound like again? My '03 engine makes normal diesel sounds - what's different in your '06? Have you listened to a different broken-in '06 CTD to tell that there's a different noise from yours?
#3214 of 3275 Transmission takes longer than usual to shift by gottaluvit Aug 25, 2006 (6:11 am)
I have a 97 Dodge Ram 1500 with the big V8 that just started to act slower than usual on the shifting of gears, letting up on the gas seems to help.   The cruise control was engaged the other day which caused the engine to sound like it was being reved up and the rpms to jump causing me to immediately disengage the cruise control.   Changed the tranny fluid and filter but that didn't seem to help.   Check engine light came on previous to this but now is off.   Really hoping this does not require a trip to the shop, as bad experiences in the past with mechanics scare me.   Thanks for any and all help

Replying to: jmscubs (Aug 21, 2006 12:22 pm) Keep us informed as to what your dealer or mechanic did to correct the problem. This code is common in cold weather climates, mine and two other 4.7 liter engines happened on the same day. I would like to know what caused a p1491 code in the summer.   thanks
#3216 of 3275 Cummins Injector Problems by danny52 Aug 28, 2006 (6:20 pm)
This is a repeat of a message posted in another forum on this website. I'm putting it here also in hopes of getting a larger group of readers.   I have an 04 HO Cummins with 16K miles. It has a slight ticking sound. The dealer listened to it and said it was one or more sticking injectors. They are going to fix it this coming Friday. My question is: has this damaged my engine? They claim the problem gets worse as time goes on - eventually sticking wide open and melting a hole in the piston. Besides the ticking, they also look for fuel in the crank case - which has not happened yet in this case. Any one else see this kind of problem?

Replying to: jmscubs (Aug 21, 2006 12:22 pm) I had the same problem on my 2002 Quadcab. At the dealer, the mechanic replaced the fuse for the A/C cooling fan (the one by the radiator. He reset the codes and problem has not occurred since. Mechanic told me that if problem occurred again, it could be the fan motor going out and drawing too many amps, in which case the fan motor would need to be replaced.

#3219 of 3275 96 Dodge Ram 1500 ---- shakes when driving by racer32x Sep 01, 2006 (8:57 am)
I have a 96 Dodge Ram 1500 with 72,000 miles. I recently put a set of 3/4 ton springs in the front end for about 2 1/2 inches of lift. I also put all the ball joints in and had an alignment done. The problem is the front will start to shake a little bit, almost like the front end is rocking back and forth. Sometimes it will come out of it, others it will get worse. Bad enough where I swear the tires are bouncing off the road. Could the bushings in the control arms be wore out. My friend did the same springs in his Dodge and it drives normal. Thanks..

Replying to: racer32x (Sep 01, 2006 8:57 am) Did you change your tire size, or tread pattern,, bias or radial tire. You may want to check your all your stablizer bar bushings and bolts. Just an idea. I didnt have this problem with my dodge, but experienced this with my 79 ford bronco and it was my bushings and the bolts were worn on the stablizer bar. Remember just an idea. Hope you find it.
#3221 of 3275 2001 Dodge Ram QC by newdodgeowner Sep 01, 2006 (11:39 am)
I have a 2001 Dodge Ram with a 5.9 and I think the 46RE tranny. I had to have the tranny rebuilt and ever since then when I use the cruise and set it at like 70 and the rpms are at 2000 they will jump to 2300-2400. I took it back to the shop that rebuilt it since it is still under warranty and they told me there was nothing wrong with it. I talked to another mechanic and he told me that it could be the speed sensor. I am debating on whether or not to replace the sensor and try that. If anyone can help me with this delima I would appreciate it.
#3222 of 3275 Re: 2004 2500 SLT 4x4 with HO Cummins, 6 spd [rossn2] by hal1l Sep 03, 2006 (3:55 pm)
Replying to: rossn2 (Nov 13, 2003 6:52 am) I think what you describe is fairly normal though I'm surprised you notice it at a temperature as high as 65 F. What is happening is that the pre-heater is cycling to warm the intake air. That continues until the engine gets a bit warmed up. At least that's what someone told me. However I've never heard the clunking noise so you might look into that.
