#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.
#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.

Replying to: bryab002 (Jan 08, 2006 6:02 am) I recently came across your transmission problem, I have a 99 Dodge ram with the 318ci 2 wheel drive with the exact problem, my transmission speed sensor had gone bad a couple of weeks ago and last week when I went to drive my truck it would not shift out of 1st gear, have you resolved your problem? any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Replying to: dole (Jul 28, 2005 7:29 pm) We're having the same issues with our 94 Ram 1500. Everything except the blowing smoke. We've replaced the converter, the wires, the plugs, the whole shabang. As we speak, we are replacing the throttle position sensor. Hopefully, that will fix our idle problem. Have you had any luck with yours? Thanks! Katherine
#3231 of 3275 phantom problems by xvx_katherine_ Sep 11, 2006 (4:58 pm)
Replying to: sebring95 (Jun 01, 2004 8:34 am) We have a 1994 Ram 1500 5.9L 360 and we have had nothing but problems with it after a simple at home tune up. Initially, the oil, oil filter, caps, plugs and wires were changed. After finishing up, we got in the truck only to find that the truck (after about 10 minutes of driving) idles horribly, to the point of stalling. There is also a noise coming from the engine that sounds like a vaccume leak. We have checked all of the hoses and to date have replaced the catalytic converter, new spark plugs (again, just to be safe), the throttle positioning sensor, new muffler. We feel like we're pouring money down the drain at this point. I've read here over and over that when the battery starts to get weak, problems may start popping up. We are going tomorrow to have our battery tested. But if anyone has any ideas about what's going on (things that we haven't already done) PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help. We love our truck, but we're starting to lean towards a Ford Thanks to all Katherine Replies to this message: loncray (Sep 12, 2006 6:03 am) p100 (Sep 15, 2006 10:24 am)
