1989 Dodge Ram D-Series Pickups - Page 6 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
HELP! 2004 dodge ram 4x4 diesel. Cluster panel is
was the truck ever in an accident especially a front or fender hit if so theres exposed wires that are hitting each other maybe from bumpy driving then it happens try to trace wire harness from either side and look for insulation breaks in the wires also there could be a leak that water is getting to the fuse box and causing the hots to jump each other then in either case when you shut down and restart everything is normal till it jumps again sometimes body shop guys drill holes to pull out dents and they end up drilling through the wires then at certain times the current can jump circuits this also applies to front hits where sharp areas gradually cut the wires and on a bump hit you get the problem
When changing the rear pinion seal on my 2004 dodge ram 1500 4x4 i found that the pinion nut had loosend
Sounds like you didn't tighten it FAR enough to bring the ring and pinion gears to a match point. If it's making noise on the power up side of the gears..... I'll not explain, you may not understand. Anyway, lift the rear tires off ground and pull the driveshaft loose from the rear. You'll find there's play/slop in the yoke when you turn it back and forth. Lock the tires and tighten the nut until there's practically no play whatsoever. Play must be just barely discernable to have enough backlash in the ring and pinion, and since your not pulling the rear plate/cover to check backlash with a piece of paper between the gears, this is the only way to do it. And if it's been loose for a long time, even with correct backlash, it will still make a bit of noise until the teeth reset to proper wear position.
I have a 78 Dodge
if it has a spring between the side gears , it may be a limited slip diff center and the noise may have been the limited slip action coming off or engaging when one front wheel lost traction
if there is no metal bits in the diff then it may be nothing as long as both wheels turn the diff center , then the axle will still be intact
Misfire codes
if the electronics are all good than need to look at the injector pouring in a cleaner wont fix if injector is damaged or internally damaged
How to change the freeze plugs in a 1987 dodge ram van
I'm in the UK ..if by freeze plugs you mean core plugs (as they're known in the UK) it's relatively straightforward.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Assorted-Metric-Cup-Core-Plugs-Material-BS1449-Zinc-Plating-CR4-Qty-60-/201159025436?hash=item2ed603231c:g:MTwAAOSwQItT~4gNLocate the plug(s) and use a thin chisel or flat bladed screwdriver - punch through the core plug and lever it out.Clean around the area where the new core plug will go, put a smear of sealant around the rim of the core plug and where it will fit.Push the core plug into place by hand and then use a hammer to give it a hard tap in the centre. This will 'spread' the core plug to ensure a tight fit.The link below is Ebay (UK). It is included just to ensure that freezer plugs and core plugs are the same... Don't forget the smear of sealant...
