I just bought a Dodge Ram 1996 V8 2500 The engine runs smooth, no valves knocking or any hesitation in the sound or performance. Now, when I crank the engine, it starts immediately, the oil pressure gage goes to the middle and after about one second it goes to the far left. The Oil light stays lit permanently. The engine will warm up to the middle of the temp gage and maintain normal operational temp. I checked the oil level and it was full. If one could ignore the gage one would not notice by the vehicle's performance. I don't know what the problem is but my guess is if I change the oil pump, it will fix the gage issue... Anyone have experience in dealing with this problem? Many thanks, CP. |

I lost the clutch on a 2005 Ram 2500 at 55,000 miles. The dealer first replaced the hydraulics and no change so they said the pressure plate had collapsed. No marks of abuse, overheating, checking or excessive wear. Clutch plate is over 60%. Replaced clutch, pressure plate and bearings now the clutch pedal seems to be one third of the effort to press in. I am attempting to force Dodge to admit a defective pressure plate but as everyone knows I am fighting a brick wall! Any help or ideas will be a major asset in my battle!

| I have a 2004 viper ram truck with the 505 monster under the hood. At 29000 miles I am having to rebuild this very expensive engine. I was told that I spun the bearings on the fourth piston. Does anyone here know how this happens,when it is full of oil and there seems to be nothing wrong with it. This things runs like a race car. And I take better care of it than a Million Dollar Rich man. | |
