#624 of 642 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

I talked to Mechanic Friend and sounds like the EVR valve is the issue. He had the same issue and ended up replacing that piece

Replying to: donavonk (Oct 05, 2009 3:57 pm) Not sure what transfercase is in your truck, but unless you forced the shift lever, chances are the axles may have a disengage vacuum on it and may be your problem. On older cases the shift forks bend or wear out, usually from lack of oil, so good luck.

Replying to: jellisndnlvr (Aug 17, 2009 11:52 am) first of all don't even believe that in truck milage meter, it's crap. Test your milage by dividing the miles driven by the fuel used. My 04 gets terrible milage. Wish I knew how to improve it.

Replying to: lonnie13 (Aug 17, 2009 1:24 pm) My first question would be how you know that the wire from the fuse to the trailer plug is ok? There is a fuse to each side in the fuse box. Check ton make sure it has power on both sides.

#631 of 642 04 2500 ram pull start only by gast Oct 14, 2009 (4:51 am)
I have a 04 2500 cummins manual trans . It turns over fine with adiqite speed to start but wont. If we pull start it it fires right off. After its warmed up the same problem still persist. Will only start if its pulled. When it starts it runs fine. No check engine lights. Have not checked for codes.

Replying to: gast (Oct 14, 2009 4:51 am) First, check your batteries. Even if only one of them is low on voltage, you will have enough juice to run the engine and all the electrical accessories, but not enough to start the engine (that's why it needs two high-output batteries - just to get the engine started). The old mechanical 12-valve Cummins that was used until early 1998 could run without any electricity once it was started.   If the batteries test ok and the problem persists, check the cables and starter.   kcram - Pickups/Wagons Host

Replying to: gast (Oct 14, 2009 4:51 am) My guess is a Cam or Crankshaft position sensor. By pull starting it you my be turning the engine over faster than the starter therefore allowing the sensor to read and communicate with the ECM. This is just my guess. Let me know what you find out...   Randy
