#21 of 647 1997 Dodge Ram 3500 by dlbjones Sep 18, 2006 (9:45 am)
This 5.9L diesel dies when I stop unless I hold the brake with one foot and the accelerator with the other. It dies in reverse also and especially if the A/C is on.   I have looked for leaks but none are visible.   dalej Replies to this message: kcram (Sep 18, 2006 6:49 pm) rabbler (Oct 06, 2006 9:59 pm) cklein (Jan 12, 2007 1:36 pm) 2dog97 (Mar 07, 2009 2:50 pm)

The new cable is coated/wrapped and solves this problem. I had this issue on my 96 Cummins - replaced the cable in 1999 and all was well again. The recall came in 2001, and DaimlerChrysler paid me back in full for the repair when I submitted a copy of the receipt.   kcram - Pickups Host Replies to this message: rabbler (Oct 06, 2006 9:59 pm)
#25 of 647 2006 Dodge Ram with ticking noise by wendler4 Sep 20, 2006 (8:10 pm)
I am new diesel owner and was told by atleast five different diesel drivers that our truck had a "knocking noise" We took it in after a random stranger told us they heard knocking. Dealership said it was normal. Took it back again and had them do a side by side with another truck. Master mechanic came out and said that there was definately something wrong. Called us a week later and said nothing was wrong. Took it back in after the noise became excessive. They said it needed a new cp3 pump? and some adjustments. Replaced those things and it is still making noise. Now they are saying it needs a new cam? I am not mechanically inclined, and I feel like these people are giving me the run around...they have had the truck this time around for ten days and have yet to fix the problem. Anyone a mechanic? Can you tell me if this dealership is full of it?

Replying to: tgentry (Oct 05, 2006 4:14 pm) Blue smoke is caused by motor oil entering the combustion chamber. You likely have one of three issues with the smoking truck: - low compression at one cylinder - worn piston rings - leaking valve stem seals   If your Dodge dealer isn't helpful, a Cummins shop should be able to diagnose this pretty quickly.   kcram - Pickups Host

dodge tested all these items and all tested fine its more of a white smoke than a blue they also looked at turbo seals but what about air cooler?
