#21 of 159 HELP!! Dodge Ram 1500 lost power, stalled won't start by pnemeth Feb 04, 2007 (8:13 am)
My son bought a 1995 Dodge Ram 1500 and 3 months later while driving it started losing power, then stalled and wouldn't start. Mechanic has replaced the plugs, sensors, almost everything under the hood with no help. Now he replaced the timing chain($300) and still no go. It will start and run about 5 seconds and that is it. Fuel pump putting out 42, but when cranking, blowing gas everywhere. I can't afford this guessing game any longer!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!

is your truck throwing a trouble code (check engine) and is it timed right cause if you move your distributor clock wise and counter clockwise you can advance your timing and retard it i would check that and check the specs on the fuel pump and check the fuel filter Replies to this message: pnemeth (Feb 05, 2007 1:56 pm) nws683 (Feb 05, 2007 8:00 pm)

Replying to: nws683 (Feb 05, 2007 10:02 am) The mechanic says he has it in time, fuel pump is good, and no engine codes. I don't think he checked the filter because he says you have to drop the tank to get to it. I will tell him to try that though. And he said he was gonna check the catalytic converter and the exhaust for possible plugging. Thanks for the info!!!! Replies to this message: nws683 (Feb 05, 2007 8:00 pm)

Replying to: pnemeth (Feb 05, 2007 1:56 pm) ya if it is in time you can still advance your spark but that mostly will give more power depending on vehicle and just to make sure take a spray bottle and and pray the wires and distributor with water and turn off the lights and turn over the vehicle and you could be getting a short some were in the circuit cause you can see the spark jumping all over if somthing is bad or cracked

#26 of 159 engine burning oil by gitrdon62 Feb 04, 2007 (5:42 pm)
i changed my oil 7 days ago in my 2004 Hemi. it had the standard motor oil in it and i changed it over to Mobil 1 fully synthetic 10W-30 and have noticed how much smoother it runs. however just tonight the "check gages" light came on as my oil pressure dropped so i checked it when i got home and it is extremely low!!!! the oil filter, drain plug, reservoir cap, and dipstick show no evidence of leakage. is it burning that much oil or what is the issue? what kind of expense/problem am i looking at?

Replying to: gitrdon62 (Feb 04, 2007 5:42 pm) I would refill it and keep a close eye on it. Synthetic oil will sometimes cause a seal or two to leak upon the initial changeover and then it should stop. Replies to this message: nws683 (Feb 06, 2007 2:40 pm)

Replying to: bufordt (Feb 06, 2007 12:28 pm) i would check the specs you most likely can run synthetic but some you cant and what the sounds like is the oil pump is failing i would have some one check that
#29 of 159 Running Too Cold by fishwiths_j Feb 09, 2007 (7:15 pm)
My 1995 Dodge conversion van (318ci) is running cool (below 1/3 on the temp. gage) and the heater blows luke-warm air at best. Just had the thermostat replaced and tried blocking off most of the radiator with cardboard, with no results. The fan clutch "seems" to be working properly. Any other suggestions out there before I have to take it to the local mechanic? Replies to this message: nws683 (Feb 10, 2007 12:47 pm)
