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?

| 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 | |
 I HAVE A 99 1500 SPORT, O.K., HERE WE GO K, THE TRANNY IS MAKING A NOISE WHILE IN GEAR, SOUNDS LIKE ITS COMING APART, WILL JUMP OUT OF GEAR WHEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND SOUNDS HORRIBLE WHEN IN GEAR. IN NUETRAL NO NOISE. IF I PUT THE TRANSFER CASE IN NUETRAL, NO NOISE WHILE GOING THROUGH THE GEARS?

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

| I'm posting this for my husband who is not a member. He has a 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 and occasionally when he turns to the right it makes a loud, one time pop or click. He has taken it to the dealer a couple of times, but they can't duplicate it. It also happens sometimes when we are pulling our 26ft. travel trailer and only happens when he is turning right. Has anyone else had this problem? | |
