There is a vacuum switch on top of the transfer case that gets stuck check that. It redirects vacuum to the vacuum actuator on the front axle when the transfer case is shifted into 4x4.

You have to check what cylinder is missing. Maybe plug is not good may be wire

Most of the problems are caused by the converter. You must replace the converter when rebuilding or replaceiong the transmission. I knoe because I have several and that is the main problem, it goes out and damages the trans. I go with a heavey duty or bullit converter. I have several dodge rams with well over 300,000 miles anddo a lot of plowing and towing. I would order a heavy duty over the internet, not use the standard. Check with www.transmissioncenter.net or http://tpiconverters.com/

Replaceing a sensor should not affect the spedo. It is ran directly from a switch on the side of the trans

It couyld be several things, You need to find if there's a code stored in the computer for starts. Have you done work on the transmission? Is ther a check engine light on?

don't know what you mean, color code for headlight problem?

until you have actually tested components like the crankshaft sensor and the ignition module and the actual fuel pressure it anyones guess. Recommening a part without any data or testing informaation can get more expensive than if you just let a shop fix it for you. Go to mitchell1diy online if you don't know what to do and you have the ability and tools to diagnose this otherwise your most likley going to end up in the shop.

Hope helps Remember rated this.

It sounds like your fuse is blown. Brake lights and turn signals have a different circuit than the headlights. Check the fuse first if that doesn't work look for shorts in the wiring. If you have a plug-in for a trailer hookup one of the wires may have come loose and grounded out.

throttle position sensor possibly defective

On the frame rail near tank

If I'm upstanding you your truck is cranking but not firing up.
So try this turn your key on but not all the way to start for 15 seconds do this 3 times then start it. If it start right away You may need a fuel pump. What I have seen is some fuel pumps have check valves that go bad and the pressure bleeds off. Always replace fuel filter at the same time.
Do you have any warning lights on after truck is started?
Keep in mine it takes a few seconds for lights to go out after engine is running that's okay.
If you do have any lights on after running take to a parts store that offers free check of your system.
Autozone is one but many will do this now.

try a new sender for oil pressure

check the fuel pump

You can place it anyway you can get the center bolts to fit. If it can only be installed one way it will only fit one way with all the bolts.

Have you checked the engine codes? On your 95 ou can by turning the enigne switch on and off 3 times quickly and then back on. Do not start engine. Then count the flashes to get any codes out of the computer. You can find the codes by searching the internet easly.

Most likely, the reverse part of the transmission has probably gone bad.

physically it will fit ,, but you run into problem with the fuel delivery and sensors because of the years difference,,, you will have to use the intake off the 95 but use 5.9 injectors and use all the sensors off the 95

Go to your local auto parts store and purchase a repair manual with the wiring schematic in it. It will show you the exact wire you are looking for. When replacing it purchase the same guage & color wire so there will not be any problems or confusion if later repairs are needed.
