#1 of 32 2006 Ram 2500 Starting Problem by gunowner Jun 27, 2007 (6:27 pm)
Throughout the day the truck did not experience any problems. Parked at the office and was attempting to leave for the evening and no luck. When I turn the key all dash lights show up bright, but no starter turnover. After continuous key turnover several times you would get a quick knock at what sounds like the starter then nothing. I tried jumping, still nothing. I put the truck in neutral (automatic trans) and nothing. Again, at the dash all appears fine.   It does have the cummins. Other than this, have had no problems at all.

Replying to: gunowner (Jun 27, 2007 6:27 pm) A while back there was a short rash of intermittent relays in RAMs. Both the starter and ASD relays can cause a no crank condition.   Regards, Dusty   "What part of '...the right of the people to keep and bear arms...' is not clear?" -- Joyce Lee Malcolm, Professor of English History in a discussion on the American Bill of Rights, Washington Press Club 2003.

#4 of 32 ' 99 Ram 1500 Sport starting issue by chiana4477 Jul 30, 2007 (11:49 am)
I have a'99 Dodge Ram 1500 sport 5.2L 318 and she won't start unless you have your foot on the gas and will only stay running if you keep the revs up. Sometimes if you let her sit awhile she will start up. Is the fuel pump , relays, battery? I'm trying to go with the stupid things first before I buy a new fuel pump ($219).

Replying to: dustyk (Jul 09, 2007 4:09 pm) The problem was the computer controller went out; according to the service dept. It had to stay in the shop for approx. 4 weeks due to the controller being on "national backorder".   Thanks for the reply.

Got in the truck to go to work. It started fine. Drove half a block to a convenience store and parked it. When I got back in, it would turn over, (lots of cranking power,) but would not fire.

Replying to: gunowner (Jun 27, 2007 6:27 pm) Hey did you ever figure out what the hack was going on. I thought is was my starter so I replaced it but nothing. I got the same problem. I got power to the dash and all the lights work. I even got power to my starter but she will not turn over. I got the cummins too. I went to the local gas station parked it and when I came back out about 10 minutes later nothing. I tried jumping and like you nothing. I bypassed the starter relay too. Can you help me out buddy?

Replying to: ping25 (Sep 04, 2007 5:05 pm) I had my Ram towed to the dealer (2006 and is still under warranty) and they diagnosed it as the "computer". It was on back order due to the original manufacturer screwing things up; I had to wait 4 weeks to get my truck back. Replies to this message: ping25 (Sep 07, 2007 5:20 am)
#9 of 32 Starting Problem with 1997 Ram 2500 by keepitcowboy Sep 05, 2007 (9:01 am)
Because the motor will turn over, but won't fire, they are telling me that the fuel injector pump has failed. Furthermore, if pieces of the pump have entered the injector lines, the fix could be very expensive. Around $2500CDN.

Replying to: gunowner (Sep 04, 2007 5:27 pm) Thanks for the intel. I took the truck to the shop and they told me that the interface under the fuse panel was shorted out. I dont think that they know what they were talking about because if that was the case there wouldnt not be any power at the dash or at the starter and I know the starter had power hell it had 12.6 VDC. So I dont know but the part costs $375 dollars. And thats just the part. Yea ouch!!!!
