#68 of 198 Re: Actually, I do have a concern... [tfuder] by fulleton Jun 08, 2005 (7:49 am)
Replying to: tfuder (Jun 02, 2004 9:44 pm) Hey... I have a 94 short bed V8 Magnum 4X4 with about 157000 on it. It seems as though I am having the same problem as the one you described. Have you found out what the problem was? If so, please let me know as I am a poor Active Duty Air Force member that cant afford a brand new transmission. Please help! Thanks a lot. ~Roy
#69 of 198 New Ram Daytona by jbick3434 Jun 09, 2005 (5:50 pm)
Hi..new to the site, but interested in your opinions. What do you think of the new Daytona Ram Truck? I think its great, especially in GoManGo, but a lot of people I talk to say its over the top, over done. I'm thinking possible collectors truck.. put it away..

Replying to: jbick3434 (Jun 09, 2005 5:50 pm) I'm not sure I've seen one. If it's anything like the SRT, I think it'll be great.   It was only a few years ago that the only high performance trucks you'd see around here were F150 Lightnings. Now I see an SRT almost every second trip.   Regards, Dusty
#71 of 198 DASH GUAGES NOT WORKING by alangston Jun 12, 2005 (12:12 pm)
I HAVE A 2004 1500 HEMI THAT YESTERDAY DECIDED TO GO CRAZY. I WAS DRIVEING BACK FROM A TRIP WHEN ALL MY DASH INSTRUMENTS QUIT WORKING AND MY HEADLIGHTS AND TAILLIGHTS CAME ON WITHOUT THE SWITCH ON. THE TRUCK RAN FINE, JUST NO INSTRUMENT GUAGES, WINDSHIELD WIPERS, TAILLIGHTS, STOPLIGHTS, FLASHERS, HIGH BEAMSOR HORN. MY RADIO, POWER WINDOWS & MIRRORS, POWER PLUGS AND HEATER BLOWER WORKED FINE. JUST BEFORE ALL THIS WENT WRONG I HAD UNPLUGGED MY CELL PHONE FROM THE POWER CORD ADAPTOR. I NEED HELP BEFORE I HAVE TO CARRY IT TO THE DEALER, SO I CAN BE SURE WHAT THEY TELL ME IS CORRECT.

Replying to: tfuder (Jun 02, 2004 9:44 pm) Mine did that, I have a 94 1500 long bed with a 157000 miles on it. I changed the trans fluid and it has never done it since. Unfortunately though I am selling it for 3K I am leaving the truck family, because I ordered my 06 Dodge Charger Daytona on the 7th of June. So I am a little excited about that. Actually a lot.
#73 of 198 Re: 94 dodge ram idiot light [lukeduke3] by shoup Jun 17, 2005 (11:19 am)
Replying to: lukeduke3 (Apr 09, 2005 11:11 am) On the 94 I found the problem, with the idiot light. Just reset it like luke said. What it is, is that some of these trucks came with a trasmission cooler sensor and if you don't have the tow package you dont have it. So at some point when all the conditions are met that would trip the sensor the MIL light comes on. Unfortunately he says the only way to fix it fix it is to have the Prom reprogrammed $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. I will stick to the old socket and battery cable theory.
#74 of 198 2005 1500 4x4 QC, 5.7hemi / exhaust question by flightdoc13 Jul 08, 2005 (12:29 pm)
New to the forum and just picked up my new 2005 1500 quad cab SW, 5.7hemi, 20inch rims, infinity surround, 6-cd changer, etc......I'm in the Army in Germany (autobahn) and am still in the break-in phase (no more than 60mph) for about another 100 miles or so. Man, that sucks!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, I absolutely love the truck, the power and torque is un-BELEIVABLE!!!!!!!!!! and thats from just barely getting it at below 60mph. My question is, the hemi is strong/powerful and already has that throaty/deep sound a little to the engine with a stock single out muffler/pipe. I have been researching companies for the best cat-back, dual exhaust out back, chrome tip exhaust system to give it that more throaty, deep, smooth sound..Anyone have any fav's out there??? I am thinking about a MAGNAFLOW cat-back dual exhaust....

Replying to: mizzusmac (Apr 26, 2005 10:03 am) I would stick with a bumper pull for your 1500, although a GN is easier to maneuver. However more trailer = more weight. You will need to look at your weight maximums on both the GN and BP options. Make sure if you get a BP you have a bumper that is rated above the tongue weight of your trailer. Also I would HIGHLY suggest you get trailer brakes for either choice.   One last note... If you have a short box truck and go with a GN, you will need to get one with a tapered nose. If you get one with a square nose you may run into clearance issues between the trailer and cab that may result in damage to both truck and trailer.   Tay

Replying to: alangston (Jun 12, 2005 12:12 pm) I have fixed this problem on a couple trucks. What is happening is that your truck is losing commucation with the controllers. If you unplug the connector on your ABS Module and take out the blue insert and tap on it you will find that water has made it in to the connector. The fix is replacing the ground wire to the connector and replacing the pigtail harness for the connector. This has fixed the ones i've have seen.
