My '07 RAM 1500 outside temp. indicator seems to be inaccurate and very slow to respond to changes, such as when I leave a 90 degree parking spot and move to a shaded area. Have compared its readings with a local bank's temp. sign, which my old Durango always matched, and it's quite a bit off. Any idea where the sending unit for this is so I can see if it needs attention? Replies to this message: loncray (Sep 11, 2007 11:07 am)

Replying to: minardi (Sep 11, 2007 11:05 am) I believe it's under the right front fender, but I dunno where exactly. Mine ('03 Ram CTD) synchs up with reality after about 3 minutes of driving, and it's within a degree or two of the bank signs every time (once synched).
#175 of 198 Temp. sender location by minardi Sep 11, 2007 (11:33 am)
Thanks, loncray. I'll have a look there. I was spoiled by my '02 Durango, which stabilized after a minute or so. Maybe my 1500 is just behaving normally because it eventually synchs.

I am looking to buy a pick-up truck and have never been a big Dodge fan, but I found one with a lift that looks pretty good, but I am concerned about transmission problems. My mother had a 98 that she had for two years and had the transmission replaced 3 times. Was this a common occurence with the 1996 model? Replies to this message: naludabi (Jun 11, 2008 9:56 am)

Replying to: gunslinginmama (Jun 10, 2008 2:33 pm) I had a 96', nothin but problems (transmission), Couldn't seem to get that thing in shape, was always afraid about taking it on long trips...when I did a little research on it , I was able to find that I wasn't the only one: http://www.carcomplaints.com/Dodge/Ram_1500/1996/transmission/blown_transmission- .shtml   If I were you, I'd think twice. Unless of course your a tranny mechanic.
#179 of 198 Dodge 2500 V10 by nblawn Oct 12, 2008 (12:22 pm)
I'm looking at buying a dodge 2500 with the V10 in it and was wondering what problems it had. Is it a well built engine and what typically went wrong with it Replies to this message: ford2k (Oct 12, 2008 3:34 pm)

Replying to: nblawn (Oct 12, 2008 12:22 pm) V-10 engine in the dodge 2500 was the thing to have when they came out. My brother had one I think it was a 99 model. He put over one hundred thousand miles on it. in that range of time he had to replace front brake shoes several times. any engine will last for ever if taken care of. the same with the transmissions. when you own a Dodge pickup pre-ventive maintanance is the key to anything. I loved the V-10. you will get around 09- to 11 miles to the gallon with it. If it is in top running order. one thing is good about mileage is you should get the same milage pulling a trailer as you would get empty.   good luck, I hope I was some help.   GFord
