Likely your idle speed is too low. It's adjusted manually on the pre 24 valve cummins engine. It should be about 750rpm in drive with the A/C on if I remember correctly. It's proper procedure to check and adjust the idle speed while performing the recall so thats likely why it also fixed your condition kcram.
#32 of 647 starting problem by cruz98 Oct 16, 2006 (8:25 pm)
green guy to the diesel world and lovin them, I own a 98 cummins, starter not cranking all of a sudden, solenoid is clicking, but that's all she wrote. Just wondering if my pinion is jammed in the flywheel or is my starter just toast, assuming that my starter is the problem. Checked fuses, all are good, relays not too sure, batteries also good to go. Would appreciate some advice from this cool forum. Thanks Replies to this message: stdbob (Feb 15, 2007 4:51 pm)
#33 of 647 03 Dodge 3500 Diesel died on me and won't start by jtrevino Oct 17, 2006 (9:34 pm)
My Dodge died while driving it today and it won't start again. All electrical still working. At first it would turn over and run but only for a few seconds and then it would die again. It won't run at all now but just cranks. The weather just turned cold today, it was about 33 degrees when this occurred. My truck hasn't been in cold weather for a while. I don't know if this would affect anything but the truck had just been taken over a big slushy puddle at about 45 MPH moments before it died. I have a quarter tank of gas, replaced the fuel filter less then 10,000 miles ago. Any ideas? Thanks, JT Replies to this message: jtrevino (Nov 15, 2006 11:41 pm)
#34 of 647 '96 Dodge 3500 Trans problem by ddually Oct 23, 2006 (6:44 am)
My '96 Dodge 3500 Diesel won't shift into overdrive. One day it shifted fine the next day it wouldn't shift into 4th gear. The fluid is full and only has about 5,000 miles since the fluid and the filter were last changed. What might be the problem? Replies to this message: kcram (Oct 25, 2006 7:28 pm)

Replying to: wendler4 (Sep 20, 2006 8:10 pm) I've got a 2005 Dodge Ram 3500 Diesel and I've had several Dodge owners pose the same comments to me. I've also taken it to the dealer and they've told me they can't hear it and nothing is wrong. I've also experienced a 25-30 percent drop in fuel economy across the board (highway and city driving). Again, they tell me nothing is wrong because nothing shows on the diagnostics. The dealerships (both of them local) have indicated Chrylers policy is that if nothing shows on the diagnostics, "nothing is wrong with it". They also indicated this policy prevents them from looking any farther into the problems. I suspect it's a computer thing but can't seem to get anyone to cooperate. I've been a Dodge diesel truck owner for many years and have always been a satisfied Dodge owner "until now". If you get any additional information, please let me know.

#38 of 647 06 Dodge Ram with electrical problem by 06trx4 Oct 24, 2006 (2:45 pm)
I have a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 TRX4 with the 5.9L CTD. About 3 weeks ago I started the truck in the morning like always and I noticed that the lights dimmed and then got bright again and then dimmed and so on and so forth for about 3 minutes, and as I watch my volts meter it is cycling in sequence with the lights. It has been getting progressively worse to the point that if it sits for more than 3 hours it will cycle. I have also noticed that it affects the RPM if higher than 1000RPM. If anyone has an idea of what is going on please let me know.
