Replying to: akangl (Nov 16, 2006 11:18 am) My 05 is a cross between the two of yours It's an SLT dually like his, but I went with a few more options to make it more Laramie-comfortable without having to spend Laramie money. You can see mine at my CarSpace page http://www.carspace.com/kcram   Amd goodness knows I never would have gone without fog lights... the headlights are just too high up.

Replying to: kcram (Nov 18, 2006 11:41 am) Amd goodness knows I never would have gone without fog lights... the headlights are just too high up.   I agree, I love my fog lights. We ended up with his truck in a rather strange way, thus he had to take what they had. It was the only 6-spd dually cummins that they had after they sold the 03 that I had a deposit on out from under me.   I was ticked to say the least, we drove 300 miles to get it and walk into the dealership to be told they *accidently* sold it. They put him in the 06 for just $3500 more so that made up for it, a new truck vs a 3 year old/30k miles truck. He's going to add fog lights eventually since he likes them on my truck.   Mine turned 10,000 miles yesterday, not even 5 months old yet.   Your truck is mighty nice, real pretty color. That's the color the 03 was, but hubby was thrilled to get the flame red 06.....flame red is his color. Mine is black because my 10 year old picked out the color when I ordered it, sometimes I ask her what she was thinking!
#53 of 642 95 Ram 3500 low idle/bad start by carnut17 Nov 23, 2006 (3:29 pm)
My 95 12 valve Cummins will start right up only when i rest my foot on the accelerator pedal. Inaddition, the idle seems to be around only 500rpm which is a problem when cold or if im running the A/C at a stoplight. Is this a stretched or out of adjustment throttle cable or is there a idle adjustment somewhere?

Replying to: carnut17 (Nov 23, 2006 3:29 pm) Could be both, actually. If you still have the original uncoated cable, you need to get that replaced - it can fray and split. There is also an idle adjustment that can be checked. I had both require attention on my 96.   kcram - Pickups Host Replies to this message: carnut17 (Nov 23, 2006 7:58 pm) dlbjones (Nov 26, 2006 9:34 am) dlbjones (Nov 26, 2006 9:40 am) 2dog97 (Mar 07, 2009 3:04 pm)

Replying to: kcram (Nov 23, 2006 7:15 pm) Thank you kcram, your always the first to help. Does anyone out there know where the idle adjustment screw is on a 95 Ram Cummins 12valve and if it possible to identify the obsolete throttle cable?

Replying to: james59 (Nov 24, 2006 2:34 am) Hey james59, I had the exact same problem with my 95 Ram 3500 Cummins. It was a bad throttle position sensor; I'm 90% sure this is your problem. It could also be a faulty speed sensor, (I THINK) it is located on the back of the transmission. Inaddition, clean all wires where they plug into the trans. Let me know what happens GOOD LUCK Carnut17

Replying to: carnut17 (Nov 23, 2006 7:58 pm) The idle adjustment screw is near the left end of your injector pump. You want the low idle adjustment which is vertical and has a lock nut beneath. It helps to have another person hold the accelerator pedal down a tad while you make the adjustment because the idle cam rests on the bolt and make it difficult to turn with the weight on it. Not a big deal but you do need a good light and a glass eye on the end of a stick to see it. 750 rpm in Drive with A/C on.   Don't know how to tell if the cable is obsolete.

Replying to: dlbjones (Nov 26, 2006 9:34 am) Correction on the left end. It is the right end toward the rear of the engine if you are on the left (drivers side) looking at the engine.   Sorry, my bad.
