1989 Dodge Ram D-Series Pickups - Page 9 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

you are going to have a wiring harness for both vehicles because they are going to be totally different the make and model different and all the different types of controls and upgrade one has, the computer wiring diagram or layout, the older vehicle may have less wiring than the newer one, all the new electronic devices installed on the newer car compared to the older vehicle. lights setup, if has power door locks, power windows, power trunk, powered whatever, anti-braking, the vehicles computer system will all be different setup, codes for the devices in the car. it mite have the same motor but that all it will be just the motor. good luck rod

Im not sure your reader gave you the correct code for your vehicle because its not even listed in your year's complete code list. here's the closest thing I found that I hope is your problem .http://answers.edmunds.com/question-I-have-a-Dodge-Ram-1500-and-a-code-P1756-What-does-that-mean-67717.aspx

There is no way to reset a radio in this condition. Take it to the dealer. There is a flash update that can be attempted but more than likely you need a new radio. I'm guessing you have a RA3 or RA4 radio. There is a known issue with 2013 MY radios.

If it's AUTOMATIC , then NO DIP STICK , as transmission fluid is put in, and capped , as it does not need replacing , like Engine oil.

try spraying some starting fluid in it, if it coughs/starts, you have a fuel issue....if no start, look for a spark issue

check with an auto parts store they have a listing. if your trying to bypass the a//c then you can measure the belt routing leaving out the distance for the a/c. you could also try going to the dealer to see if they have a listing for your truck without a/c.

Make sure you don't have any vacuum hoses of on the intake. If that doesn't work check mass airflow sensor. Unplug sensor if it run better with out the sensor being plugged in the replace. You can blow the sensor out with mass air flow sensor but I have not ha the best luck with this product.

Use 1/2 in impact gun on the bolt. Easier to get at if pulley is unbolted and clean out dirt from big bolt head

Pull the door panels off so u can get to the speakers and match the colors up.

Check volt to Coil pack , engines Fuse .

Goggle instruct it may be on your fan cover .

Check owners manual and see where antennae for entry system is located. You may just have a poor range on the system's antennae, but sounds off to me. The vehicle is new enough that dealer should talk to you about it for free. They may have a bulletin on the issue and will tell you about it if you ask them. Too new to have system going bad, batteries in remotes maybe, but both at once would be a bit fishy.

the timing mark indicates where the no 1 piston is in the bore. It can be at tdc compression stroke (firing) or at tdc exhaust. If it is on compression stroke ( test by removing no 1 plug and feeling the pressure under your thumb) then the rotor button will be pointing to no 1 HT lead in the distributor cap. If it is on exhaust stroke the rotor button will be 180 degrees from no 1 ht lead . It it is point to no 1 HT lead on compression stroke the truck will start ___IF YOU HAVE THE CORRECT FIRING ORDER FOR THE ht LEADS ) and if it is 180 degrees out it will not start. If it starts and runs but backfires then you will have the firing order wrong on 2 leads

No, but the calibration numbers on the ecm must match.In 1998 dodge still used a prom, that you need to take out of old unit and put in new unit

It can be done but you have to be careful about a few things. From 1971 to 1992 was the original LA (small block) engine, 1993 and up are the Magnum engines. They are different in some ways but the most important in your situation is that although both are externally balanced, the two are balanced differently (the 360 Magnum uses lighter pistons) and each requires a uniquely balanced damper, flywheel, drive plate, or torque converter. It would be easier to stay with a Pre 1993 engine if possible. Otherwise make sure you get the convertor / flywheel with the engine.

Is this a power seat or a manual seat adjustment

Did you check the main fuses under the hood ? There is a main fuse that controls those items mentioned .

If both are not working, it is likely a ground wire problem, check wires for power and grounding.

in fuse box inside

I am gonna figure that you verified that all your powers and grounds are good ... but you didn\'t really give much info ... does it not turn over at all, or does it turn over but won\'t start??
