#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.

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.
#3223 of 3275 Steering Problem on 2001 Ram 2500 - Serious! by hal1l Sep 03, 2006 (4:03 pm)
Anybody else have this problem (and live to tell about it)? The steering on my 2001 Dodge Ram 2500, diesel 4WD just locked up. I backed out of my driveway with a left turn. I noticed a bit of noise when I turned right to go down the very short street. Turned left on another street and all seemed normal until I tried to straighten it out. The steering locked up and I could not get the wheels back straight! It would turn more to the left, but with "power steering by Armstrong." However I had to call a tow truck to get it out of the middle of the road because it insisted on turning left. A tow truck driver discovered that with the engine off we could turn either way with effort, but with the engine running no right turns are allowed. I am most thankful this happened while I was going slowly, not driving down the freeway.   Ideas? What cause this? Suggestions on how to fix it?

#3225 of 3275 runs rough, looses power, and won't start by wood1440 Sep 07, 2006 (5:25 pm)
runs rough, looses power, and won't startI have a problem and and it has been happening for awhile(2 months). I have a 95 ram 178,000 miles 5.9. I searched some of the messages and can't find the same exact problem. I had a code 54 lose of power to distributor. The truck will loose power when floored, it will actually start popping through throttle body. It will run fine most of the time, but then you will be going down the road and loose all power again it starts poppin. then it won't start at all times. I can leave it run all day, but if I turn it off. i will be stranded for about 4 hours, when it cools it will start. I have changed the coil, cap, and rotor. The battery turns it just fine. i was told to change the pick-up coil. Does anyone have any advice on this? The distributor is in a really bad place to pull it out, I just don't want to go through the grief.. Need help bad

#3227 of 3275 Re: Speed Sensor? Please Help! [tatts] by parkerd123 Sep 08, 2006 (5:48 am)
Replying to: tatts (Aug 14, 2005 7:07 pm) I have the same problem with my 1999 Dodge Ram 4 x 4. I checked with Advance auto parts and the speed sensor is bad. I called my mech. and he said just replace the sensor but be sure and get one form the dealer, not an after market sensor. I called the local dealer and the part is a little over $20.00. It is a simple replacement just unscrew and disconnect the old one and put in the new one. The code should clear after a short drive. The sensor is located on the 4 x 4 at the back and lower side of the transmission on the driver's side.
