#65 of 73 2003 1500 Ram cutting out on start by tbully2010

Jul 18, 2010 (9:34 am)

We have a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500, 4.7 4x4...Truck has been cutting out on start, almost as though it is starved for fuel, cleans out after a few seconds and then will go. The transmission light came on several months ago, but diagnostics shows nothing wrong. This is happening more often now...truck is fine after several sconds of rough idling and attempts to get going...Any thoughts....could this be a idle control spring or is it a fuel filter problem?

I had exactly the same thing happen yesterday -- same model/ same year truck as yours. Did you get any helpful responses? I'd sure be interested to know.

#70 of 73 Carburetor Question 85 Dodge Ram 150 Truck by thea67

Feb 05, 2012 (10:02 am)

I am having some carb trouble with my old 85 Dodge Ram. I think the carb would work just fine if the parts for the fast idle were not missing. I have purchased for Ebay and older carb. I had intended to put the Ebay carb on my truck after I had rebuilt it, but the air/fuel adjuster screws were stuck and when I tried - as carefully as possible - to remove the screws, one of them sheered off. I soaked the base plate in P.B. Penetrating fluid before trying, but that didn't help.
 
Anyway, my question is: Does anyone know if I could use the fast idle parts from the Ebay carb on the existing carb? If so, then I'll just get a rebuild kit for the existing carb and go with that. I really wanted to use the Ebayr carb though, because of the air/fuel adjusters. I'd appreciate any help I can get on this.
 
Just one more thing. On the existing carb, the stepper cam in there. It's the linkage and the screw that is missing.
 
Sincerely,
 
Thea

#71 of 73 Question about wheels 85 Dodge Ram Truck by thea67

May 11, 2012 (6:46 am)

I have a 1985 Dodge Ram D-150 and I wanted to ask, does anyone know how to do wheel conversions? I would like to up grade my wheels from 15" to 16" rims, but I don't want the speedometer to be off. My tires are P235/75R15 and I know if I put 16" rims I'll have to go with a lower profile tire, but the question is, how low would I need to go in order to compensate for the 75R15? If anyone could be of help on this it would be greatly appreciated.

225/75R16, 235/70R16, 255/65R16, or 275/60R16 will all keep your speedometer and odometer in check.

#73 of 73 95 Ram 1500- No nothing!! by rdt68

May 20, 2012 (1:07 pm)

I have a 95 ram 1500... It began to have a slow crank on start-up, then after driving and shutting it off it would not start, not even turn over. Now, it won't even do anything... i think the start relay is making( hear it clicking) and i measured 12.3v at the starter. I don't have a clue, I'm hoping someone here does.
