#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

Replying to: nini87 (Feb 14, 2007 6:55 pm) Personally, I think you'll like an '03 a lot better.   Regards, Dusty
#124 of 198 Mega Cab Intimidation with 5.7 Power, Wow! by stopsign Feb 19, 2007 (8:36 am)
Yes, size matters! Here in South Jersey nobody stops at stop signs, not even Trooper Higbey. Upon setting my butt behind the wheel of this mammoth beast I've found that people suddenly stop at stop signs. Thank you Dodge, you are the best law enforcement this state has seen in years!

Replying to: nini87 (Feb 14, 2007 6:55 pm) I own an '03 CTD, though it's not a dually. I love my truck - the ONLY problem I've ever had is water getting into the cab-roof lights. The engine has been bulletproof so far, and even 4.5 years after I got it it still feels like my own personal rocket booster. Plus, I've got 4x4, a high cap, AT tires, over 75% city driving and a lead foot - and I'm still getting over 15 mpg. Can't beat that with a stick!
#126 of 198 2004 2500 Fuel Gauge Problems by gpoole Apr 04, 2007 (9:09 am)
Has any Dodge Ram owners had issues with the fuel gauge bottoming out on empty with fuel in the tank? After I burn off 4-5 gallons of fuel my gauge goes to empty and my digital readout that shows miles left has lines for the data. I do not know if my gauge is stuck in the tank or if it is electrical issues. I would love any feedback from fellow owners that have experienced this problem.   Dodge Owner in Virginia Replies to this message: loncray (Apr 05, 2007 7:20 am) gpoole (Apr 05, 2007 7:56 am) dustyk (Apr 07, 2007 9:00 pm)

Replying to: gpoole (Apr 04, 2007 9:09 am) I've never had my gauge go to empty (though I know that there's always fuel in the tank to keep the fuel pump cool - that's for the diesel but I think the gasser's the same) - but I did go thru a period where my trip computer showed only lines - it cleared up on its own but it was annoying.

Replying to: loncray (Apr 05, 2007 7:20 am) It clears up when I restart engine but your right it is annoying. Thanks for the response Replies to this message: dustyk (Apr 07, 2007 9:00 pm)
#129 of 198 Re: Steering Noise/Vibration [06thunderroad] by jstringer Apr 07, 2007 (12:53 pm)
Replying to: 06thunderroad (Oct 28, 2006 7:30 am) I have a 2006 QuadCab with a 4.7 in it and the Lone Star pkg which includes 20" tires with a 275 tread width. I have the same problem and talked to the dealer (lot of Dodges in S. Texas). My problem is at low speeds and we think the power steering pump was not designed to handle tires this big. There is no problem at highway speeds and folks I have talked to who don't have the big tires, don't report the problem. I will probably wait until around 30,000 and get Dodge to put a new power steering unit in. Maybe by then, they will have a beefier one.
