Did you experience any issues with your cruise control? How about the switch that deactivates the OD, on the shifter? Thanks

I also have that code set....tried 2 gas caps...no change. I have been told, in this forum, that I may have a damaged hose somewhere between the tank and engine bay....any thoughts on that solution?

Another idea for you concerning oil pressure problem. A mechanic friend of mine told me that he has been into many 360cc dodge engines and that they have a very fine and rather small oil pickup screen. He recommends changing the oil and ONLY using 5w30 and an OEM filter from the dealership. You might try this before doing something expensive.

Goalie,
I did not have any issues with either the Cruise or OD switch, those both worked fine. I think the cruise worked because the speedo did show my speed once past the 30mph and 60mph later. Perhaps the same is true of the OD switch? Sorry this wasn't any help.

Well I finally got around to trying the oil change that I suggested to you. I changed to 5W30 and replaced filter w/OEM; put in a qt. of Lucas Oil Stabilizer then 4 qts of the oil. Cranked it and let it idle; it took about 5 minutes before the tapping stopped. The pressure was good immediately upon cranking. I have driven it about 50 miles yesterday and today and the motor sounds good and the wild pressure fluctuations have stopped. During 1st 10-15 miles, pressure would occasionally drop to around 35 then go back up to 65. It seems to be doing that less & less as I continue to drive it. My fingers, legs, arms and anything else I can cross are crossed plus I'm optimistic this is working. Evidently, the screen had been clogging up. Hope you have similar luck. .

I have a 2001 ram 1500,. Everytime I get gas,, the service light comes on 2DAYS AFTER I GET THE GAS. I have already had this checked at Chrysler.. MY local guy said the code was for the fuel system and he found nothing wrong, and he changed the fuel cap.. No help.. Any ideas how to fix this??

I assume you know that you MUST close the cap until it clicks. If you are doing that, I would think that you have an air leak in your evap. system somewhere. Sorry I can't be of more help. Good luck
