2001 Dodge Ram Maxi - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Front hubs are not locking. Do an OBDII scan for fault history

no it doesnt

Its your neutral safety switch on the drivers side of you transmission

Try some fuel injector cleaner. and maybe water is in the fuel

sorry but i dont have good news for you, this is a common problem with the dodge, what has happened is there is a drive drum inside the transmission that has a reverse drive gear inside it this has most likely broken, you will need to remove the transmission oil pan and look for junk inside the pan if you find more then a teespoon of metel in the pan or any brass you will need to replace the transmission......sorry

• Me pueden ayudar, pero tengo que saber que esta pasando con su veh?culo. Es que no empiezan? Se ejecuta en bruto? Por favor me proporcione algunos detalles y le ayudara.

I believe I would begin with a fuel pressure and flow test. With the key on and engine off you should have 44-55 psi of pressure. Flow should be .5pt in 7 seconds (fuel line disconnected and running freely into container). If pressure or flow rate is low, verify fuel filter condition. If filter is ok, you likely have a weak fuel pump. How is the ignition system, more than once I have encountered a bad distributor cap, rotor, or coil that displays the same symptoms. Another issue I would look into is restricted exhaust (I.E. - bad catalytic converter) Loosening the exhaust at the manifold and creating a leak at this junction should allow flow to increase long enough to drive and see if is better or not. Give these a try and see what comes up.

tach is most likely a cam sensor, hvac could be a bad vacuum problem (bad hose ) the electrical (dash stuff) I would start looking for a loose or bad ground wire or dirty battery terminals

well your blower motar is probabley pulling to many amps threw the resistor and causing the resistor to burn up . but first try uupluging it and pluging it back in yoiu may have weak pin in the conector. cauesing a bad conection wich can realy ramp up the amperage.

i dont think thats your problem. bleeding at the wheels is all you need to do. try looking for leaks in the brake lines, a common problem is the brake line going to rear brake hose it rots beside the gas tank, take a look see if its wet, hope this helps.

If you look under your hood, there should be a sticker that has your vacuum hose routing on it. If not, what size of motor do you have?

Ground first.

Remove the pass side headlamp, reach down to the vacuum reservoir and see if the hose has come loose. If it's all together, replace the check valve in the supply line to the HVAC system doors.

Many vacuum lines, but if it indicated a bad cap it should just diagnose the fuel vapor system. Your unit is 8 years old. Check the filler tube to see if the hose clamps rusted off. Being a bearer of bad tidings it could also mean the tank is rusted and has a hole in it. You can check the vapor cannister under the hood, your PVC valve, and vacuum hoses under the hood. Radiator shops can repair gas tanks and they should be able to pressure test your system on the vehicle without taking everything off.

YOU NEED TO REMOVE INSIDE COVER FROM INSIDE CENTER OF PASSENGER COMPARTMENT..DISTRIBUTOR LOCATED AT REAR OF ENGINE

only way to know for sure would be to drop the oil pan and check the oil pump sump for debris clogging it, is there any Hollow Knocking noises ? or just top end rattling ? or No noise at all ?

You could try surf board wax or spray crc on a rag and wipe the seals.

Blend door motor or blend door could be stuck. ...accordianman

can we have a picture of fan/pump assembly?
if not, just fit the correct size of wrench on the bolts.
if you have adjustable wrench that could reach those bolts.
use socket wrenches, or close type wrench.

email me the picture. [email protected]

If this is a van you will remove the cover from inside the van. The center cover comes out and you will have full access to the engine. Your manual should show you how to remove it but it is usually very simple. Hope this helps.
