#36 of 56 03 ram 1500 4.7 liter surges at idle by sean132 Dec 17, 2007 (5:47 pm)
Hello I have an 03 ram 1500 with 79k miles on it. Every once in a while when idling at a red light it will start idling funny. The rpms will jump around between 400 to about 850 and will eventually die if I dont step on the gas. Every time it starts right back up and runs fine for a while. No check engine light when it does it, and no stored codes recently. I checked fuel pressure (48-54 psi) and vacuum (18-21 hg in). The only thing i notices is that at idle the fuel pressure jumps very quickly between 48 and around 54 psi. Im thinking either fuel pump/reg. or maybe iac motor? Any help would be appreciated.

Replying to: huttododge (Dec 22, 2006 3:14 pm) Well .....!! I guess we all are having the same problem with FUEL...I have a 04 Dodge Ram Hemi. I have a cold air intake, Hypertec program burned in, Flowmaster CAT back exhaust. I also have a 6 inch lift with oversized all terrain tires. You may be be thinking this truck must suck fuel like crazy!!!...but after i add a couple upgrades it helped me A LOT!!! (11.4 on the city). About your dashboard????....Buddy!!! only thing you must do is add "Oil Protectant" in regular basis I live in Arizona and believe me the sun here is hell hot and i dont have any problems with it.
#38 of 56 Keyless entry is intermittent by ramnsask Mar 04, 2008 (3:16 pm)
On my 2007 Ram, the keyless entry only works some of the time. If the fob fails to work, I can start the truck and then turn it off and then the fob will lock or unlock the doors.   It is annoying as I am usally far away when I am using the remote and have to walk back to lock it or do the start/stop thing. The dealership can't figure it out.   I've tried both fobs but think the trucks reciever is the problem. Anyone else have this probelm? Replies to this message: gfm1210 (May 24, 2008 5:44 am)
#39 of 56 Help by bigus1949 May 14, 2008 (4:00 pm)
I am looking for anyone who can tell me if a 318 v8 will bolt up to the trans in my truck. It has a 3.7 slant six in it now. Also I am looking for a 1 barrell carb for it. Thanks, Mike
#40 of 56 Engine Sawp by doctor95 May 23, 2008 (7:33 am)
Can I directly place a 255 in a 1983 Dodge B150 van that had a 318 as an original engine?

Replying to: ramnsask (Mar 04, 2008 3:16 pm) I have had this same problem with my 2007 Ram since I bought it. Have had it in to the Dealer several times, several different items have been replaced. Yesterday it was back in the shop to have a couple more items checked to see what the problem could be causing the intermittent operation. After a Couple of hours of the technician diagnosing and checking per Chrysler's recommendations I was asked to come pick up my vehicle. Upon talking to the service desk I was informed of the problem with the dealer installed remote start system inhibiting the remote keyless entry system and a part was available and would be installed next week. Hope this takes care of my problem.   Food for thought did you have a remote start system installed by the dealer?   If you did it might lead the technicians in the right direction to come up with a solution.
#42 of 56 I love this Board and My truck! by titanium29 May 24, 2008 (9:58 am)
I love this forum all you guys! It is a great read for good advice. I like it as much as my 07 Mega 3500 Cummins. But here's my new problem, I'm hoping someone can help me with. How do I make bio-diesel in my backyard, 'cause this $4.75 "low mileage" ULSD diesel with no price ceiling yet in sight is KILLING me! I heard how folks made bathtub gin during prohibition, so how do you make diesel? (actually, I'm mostly kidding, but had to vent and say what most of us are probably feeling)!. Thanks guys! You're all the best!...T29

Wont start. Cranks over but no spark from the coil & the ballace resistor gets so hot you cant touch it. Any ideas? Replies to this message: nvbanker (Jul 05, 2008 6:40 am)
