Turn signal failure for trailer hookup by lonnie13
Aug 17, 2009 (1:24 pm)
Reply
Has anyone had a problem with a turn signal failure for the trailer hook up? I lost my left turn signal for the trailer. The wire from the fuse box to the plug on the rear bumper is fine. The problem is someplace in the fuse box. According to the wiring diagram there are relay's for each side (one for left signal and one for the right) in the fuse box. Also there is a silver box appx 4" X 6" and about 2" thick on the end of the fuse box that the turn signal runs through. I can't figure it out and was hoping someone out there has dealt with this before. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Lonnie

I have an 07 with the 6.7l 6 speed manual and I had the same failure at 34,000 miles. I did have to replace a vacuum pump but mine was covered by warranty. You should not hear an air leak only a little turbo whistle when the brake is on. Dealer told me it is also a good idea to drive with the exhaust brake on all the time, not just while towing.
 I love the truck but after a new vacuum pump, turbo, egr, and multiple flash updates I am getting a little tired of seeing my dealer.

Normal running temp? by jeeep
Sep 01, 2009 (6:35 pm)

Hi, I have a 04.5 4x4 5.9L 6 speed manual 3500 all stock. I had got it new and it now has 43,000ml. In the last 3 yr I haven't dove it a lot, I mainly drive it on long trips and a round town. My question is what is the normal running temp suppose to be? It looks like its running a bit hot lately, at 65 and 70 it use to run at 195, now its at 200 on flat roads not pulling anything and nothing in the bed. when I climb hills it would go up to 200 now it go's to 203. could there be something happening to make it run hotter now? less power and making the turbo run more? The only thing been done to it is change the oil every 3,000ml and have change the air filter with stock and fuel filter 5 month ago. sometimes I don't drive it for like 3 or 4 weeks. Could it be a injector? I think I do feel a little vibration but was thinking it normal. All this just started 4 month ago.
 
Thanks for any help.

I don't know what is causing your problem but my 96 automatic runs at 180 to 185
even at above 100 degree weather. Have you checked your coollant or had it flushed. Also check your hoses maybe you have one that is collapsing.

Cummins Turbo by jarhead1969

I recently got a smokin deal on a 07 dodge dually. Had to have the Turbo replaced due to carbon build up. Dodge told me to take it out on the road once a week and run it above 50mph and 2100 rpms for 20 minutes to clean out. I'm not sure I buy this approach. any idea's. I love this truck, but I'm seriously reconsidering the purchase and may sale it

The dealer advice is essentially correct. I've owned Cummins-powered Rams for over 13 years now, and they can get iffy if they don't work for a living. Remember, this is a medium-duty engine that's available in trucks all the way to class 7 (GVWR up to 65,000 pounds). If you don't load it with either regular highway speeds or substantial cargo weight, you will develop buildup in the engine and turbo. I give my 2005 Ram dually a few good romps every month.

Malfunction Indicator Light keeps coming on by ehestdalen
Sep 28, 2009 (7:17 pm)

I have a 2008 Ram 2500 6.7 diesel with 60,000 km and about a month ago the Malfunction Indicator Light would come on for a day or so then go off for several days, then it would start all over. I took it into the dealer and they said the fault code for the light indicated that the turbo was losing pressure so they changed the turbo (warranty). Now the light does the same thing but more often, the dealer latest theory is that it is a BS code and has no reason, a clinch in the computer, so they ran a flash program, it still does the same thing, light on for a day, then off..... Has anyone had the same experience and what was the outcome?
 
Thanks..........ehestdalen
