#142 of 198 Lack of power by tacowoody Jun 27, 2007 (7:13 pm)
I had a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 with a 5.2 V8 and it seemed very underpowered. I don't think the truck was too heavy. The engine was just weak. Sometimes while the truck was in idle it would start shaking as though it was going to stall. And going up grades would cause it to lose power and backfire.I hated that.I can say my truck never stranded me anywhere and I had good times going to Yosemite,hunting in the Sierras, and various other places. I did like it's tow package combo of oil cooler,tranny cooler,heavy duty radiator, and heavy duty alternator. It was a good truck but lacked power for the amount of gas it was guzzling. Instead I bought an 06 Tacoma Double cab which fulfills all my needs and comfort.

#144 of 198 Where to look for rear end ratio on 06 RAM 3500 by titanium29 Sep 22, 2006 (2:43 pm)
Where can I find what the rear end ratio on my 06 mega cab cummins is? I see a 4:10 is available, but don't see a reference to it on the original window sticker. It is it not specifically listed as an option, does that tell me it is NOT the 4:10?

Replying to: titanium29 (Sep 22, 2006 2:43 pm) It was a cost option ($44), so it should appear on the sticker. You can also check in your glovebox - there is a decal that lists the option codes. "DMF" is the code for 4.10 diff.   kcram - Pickups Host Replies to this message: titanium29 (Sep 26, 2006 1:25 pm) kcram (Sep 26, 2006 5:23 pm) dustyk (Oct 08, 2006 5:47 am) and 2 more...

Replying to: kcram (Sep 23, 2006 4:45 pm) Excellent. Thanks. The owner's manual was anything but clear on this. While I am on the drivetrain - the '06 HD's have a new transmission. Is this new tranny a. worth it's weight in steel, and is it, as I am getting bits and pieces of, made in Japan by "Aisin" or the like? I had concerns buying the truck due to known tranny issues, but my dealer says the whole issue has been resolved with the new ones.

Replying to: titanium29 (Sep 26, 2006 1:25 pm) The 06 trannies are still the same as the 05s. The new automatics are for the 07s. The Japanese-made Aisin 6-speed automatic is used in the new chassis-cab models only. In January, there will be a Mopar-built 6-speed automatic for the pickups. Both these 6-speed autos are for the new 6.7L Cummins diesel only. The Hemi keeps its existing transmissions for 07.   kcram - Pickups Host Replies to this message: dustyk (Oct 08, 2006 5:47 am) kcram (Oct 08, 2006 6:53 pm) dustyk (Oct 09, 2006 4:18 pm)

Replying to: kcram (Sep 26, 2006 5:23 pm) The 545RFE used on 4.7 & 5.7 engines will also receive variable line pressure sometime in 2007. I'm not sure, but I think the 48RE will also receive it as well, but that may come later.   Best regards, Dusty Replies to this message: kcram (Oct 08, 2006 6:53 pm) dustyk (Oct 09, 2006 4:18 pm)

Replying to: dustyk (Oct 08, 2006 5:47 am) Dusty, the 48RE gets killed off this December along with the 5.9L Cummins in pickup iuse (as opposed to the new chassis-cab model which already has the 6.7L Cummins and the Aisin automatic). In January, the diesel pickups will get the 68RFE, big brother of the 545.   kcram - Pickups Host Replies to this message: dustyk (Oct 09, 2006 4:18 pm)

Replying to: kcram (Oct 08, 2006 6:53 pm) Yeah, you're right. What I meant to say...and should've said...was the transmission for the Cummins will get variable line pressure (VLP).   Thanks for the correction.   Bests, Dusty
