Replying to: dwg3 (Feb 02, 2009 8:24 am) The to and reply to names on these messages get a little confusing. You mentioned that the thermostat could be at fault concerning my poor gas mileage. That was one of the first things I requested to be replaced on the very first checkup back in early 1999. The temp gage on the dash only indicated about 180 deg. They said they replaced it but I noticed on the temp gauge that it didnt get any higher than before. I later replaced both oxygen sensors at my own expense because a faulty one (upstream) could reek havoc with gas mileage. Thanks for the reply and would like any more suggestions/data/help you might come across. I think (as soon as the weather warms up) that I will replace the thermostat again( if it ever was replaced) and go a little higher.one It may only have a 185 deg. in it as OEM and will put a 195, if available. I'll let you know the outcome. Incidently, I dont understand how the engine speed (rpm) influences the computer to lean up or enrichen the amount of gas to the cylinders.....can you enlighten me???.. aug. |

Sorry Aug I can't enlighten you a bit on the rpm issue. There is another site you can try. The NPR (national public radio) show Car talk (Click & Clat the tappit brothers) which has a site cartalk.com. There is a chat room and message board available on the site. good luck. dave |

We had been driving on the freeway about 80 miles when we smelled a strong solvent-type smell. Then we saw the check engine light had come on. Got off freeway, opened hood and everything in the engine compartment was coated and dripping with diesel fuel. It was all over the side of the truck too (driver’s side). Diesel mechanic came to us, said the injector fuel feed line (I might not be saying this right) tube had sprung a leak. He said his garage has had this turn up recently in several Dodges with the inline 6 engine, 2006 specifically. And he said the part is on back order and it can take a dealer a MONTH to get the replacement tube! So we had to leave the truck out of town at that mechanic's, and a friend came to get us. If this is a known problem like he says, no one ever warned us about it. Has anyone else had this happen? Does it really take that long to get the part? Is there a recall yet for the defective tube? Thanks. |
