#113 of 198 Steering Noise/Vibration by 06thunderroad Oct 28, 2006 (7:30 am)
had a question whether anyone has this issue with their 1500. on left turns when not going fast (turning, etc) there is a vibration/rubbing noise in the steering. the dealer said they could not replicate it at the present time ((suppose they did not check enough)).. it does it every day. a friend of mine had a 2003 and his did the same thing. just wondering if it is something normal with a ram. this is my first truck and love everything else about it. thanks Replies to this message: kcram (Oct 28, 2006 4:10 pm) 06ram (Nov 17, 2006 5:49 pm) 06thunderroad (Nov 18, 2006 5:45 am) jstringer (Apr 07, 2007 12:53 pm)

Replying to: 06thunderroad (Oct 28, 2006 7:30 am) You probably want to ask this question in the Dodge Ram: Low Speed Shudder discussion... those with similar problems may be looking there. Also look in the archived Dodge Ram: Problems & Solutions discussion and search on "vibration".   kcram - Pickups Host

Replying to: 06thunderroad (Oct 28, 2006 7:30 am) I'm having the same problem with my 06 Ram. I'll be taking it into the Dealer on 20 Nov 06, I'll let you know how it goes. They claim to be the 4th largest Ram dealer in the nation so this problem has had to have shown up before. Replies to this message: 06thunderroad (Nov 18, 2006 5:45 am)

Replying to: 06ram (Nov 17, 2006 5:49 pm) I have taken my 06Ram back to the dealer in Chattanooga TN.. they had to contact a place in engineering headquarters or something of that nature. They are aware of the problem now and my dealer/service center should have the answer from them in about a month. They (headquarters) are working on a way to fix the problem so that it can be resolved. Hope this helps.
#117 of 198 Rebuilding my '97 Ram 1500 SS/T by dirty_steve Nov 26, 2006 (3:29 pm)
Hello...Dirty_Steve here, I am new to this forum today. I have a Black 97 Ram 1500 SS/T, 5.9 liter(360 cid for the older crowd ). I bought it in June of 2000. It was supposed to solve my backup vehicle situation but became my son's everyday driver for his last 2 years of high school. We've since added a Sony stereo receiver,CD player and 1500 watt amp with 2 Memphis 12.5" sub-woofers. My son showed it a few times and won a couple 2nds in local sound competitions. On one of his home visits from college he went for a "spin" and ended up putting it nose first into a ditch off an icy road. He was uninjured but the Ram suffered a broken windshield, smashed right front fender, smashed headlamp and grille, and the frame was bent. Now nearly 2 years later the frame has been straightened windshield replaced, steering box replaced, both front calipers, rotors and pads. New right front fender and inner fender well, new radiator core support, tie-rods and idler arm. We've added custom black-back tail lights, and black-back headlamps. This week it goes in the shop for new tires, an alignment and new brake lines to the rear. I'll drive it for awhile till I get another car. Then it goes back into winter storage. In the spring we'll do a thorough rust check-over, minor ding repairs, new paint and custom ghost flames and lots of clear coat. Then Back to the shows again.

Replying to: dustyk (Jun 02, 2004 2:27 pm) Yeah no trouble here either 97 2500 4x4, always heard about these so called trans problems till I hit 201590. This truck has been a work horse so I figured that $1600.00 was worth getting the trans rebuilt by a real shop. Works as well as it did from the dealer. Maybe I can hit another 200k before any other problems
#120 of 198 HELP DODGE 1500 V-8 MAGNUM ENGINE OIL PRESSURE by genelaureles Feb 16, 2007 (7:22 pm)
Hello I have a 2000 dodge ram 1500 p/u and have changed the oil pump twice. The problem is when its cold it registers the oil pressure gauge fine after about 15 minutes it starts to drop and the check gauges light comes on and i can here a ticking where the tappies as I call them aren't getting oil, I can turn the truck of for a minute and start it up and the oil gauge will be normal and the ticking noise goes away and it starts again with the gauge dropping and check gauge light by the ticking noise. i've changed the air filter and have no leaks on the oil pan. i know the oil pumps I have put in are standard but there is also a high volume pump, will this mess up my engine or? PLEASE HELP tired of trying.   Thanks for all your help Replies to this message: dustyk (Feb 16, 2007 7:59 pm)

Replying to: genelaureles (Feb 16, 2007 7:22 pm) Hmmmm, I think something else is going on here. Obviously as the oil temperature increases and the viscosity drops the oil pressure goes down.   You don't say how many miles are on this engine. A bad oil filter bypass valve could cause this problem, or a bad oil filter, too.   If those aren't the problem, I'd pull the main bearing caps and check the crankshaft main journals and main bearings for heavy gouges, wear or galling.   Regards, Dusty
