Sometimes mine won't start but it cranks strong. I assume the fuel shut off solenoid is starting to fail. after cycling the key a few times, it lites right up. Is there a relay that is in the picture also? Is there a most likley problem causing this? I appreciate any info that anyone has.

My emergency brake is useless. I have it adjusted all the way as tight as it will go. My back brake is like new and works great. Ifigure it needs a new cable but which one the front one or the rear or both. Is this what usually needs to be done or is there another fix. I figure after watching...

I want to know if there is a way to find tdc with the timing cover removed ,like some timing gear index marks. If not could someone give information where to find really good instructions on the valve rocker method. I keep playing with my timing but I have doubts on my tdc. thanks for any help.

Mine is a 94 and they say it is normal for that on the earlier engines. I have the same thing going on with mine. I have ran through the valves, had the injection pump tested,checked fuel pressure, replaced the lift pump anyway,replaced all banjo washers,and probably other small things with no...

I think the hard spot I feel is the "breakover point" mentioned in a previous thread. Only the point is just off idle and if you force the pedal the spot falls further down as RPM increases. Could it have to do with the governor lever adjustment. I adjusted this a few months ago and it seemed to...

My gas peddle is extremly hard to push , just a little off idle. It use to do it some after I let off of the throttle suddenly, but then it would right it self. Now it is constant. As rpm increases the hard spot gets further down. Where do I look?

I used zip ties around the cable at the pedal end to raise the pedal off the floor. Made a HUGE difference in power. dealer did the recall and i still had to go back to the zip ties.

What is the fix for throttle not opening up? I put some zip ties around the end of the cable at the peddle to pull it off the floor some more. this is the biggest gain of all. Made a huge difference. Do I just have to buy a new cable?

How do I get service bullitins other than dealers? does dodge have a site with this?

What kind of sound does it make? Mine will bind and then pop occasionally when I am under a load in 4wd. My thought is probably chain . Is yours the same way?Please let me know so I might have a heads up on my problem.

Has anyone heard of this? Half of the time my brake pedal will feel real spongy and will go furtherdown as if they need adjusting. Other half of the time they are great. It started when I put the 3500 wheel cyl. on or sometime after. I don't feel this has anything to do withit because it is fine...

I've got a new filter (wix). the truck has 114k on it. I tried unplugging the hose to the wastegate and made no difference. however I did not plug the hose or the fitting would that make a difference? No cat. E. T. 's are around 600 to800 normal driving. I have checked and double checked clamps...

I've got a problem I think I have had for awhile. I installed my boost guage a couple of weeks ago, but first I used it for a fuel pressure reading. I had 18 at idle,24at 2000 in neutral. I then moved it to the manifold. I had an average of 10psi max when I ran through the gears normally. I...

Mine, when I put it in 4wd, pulls fine but occasionally binds and then pops real loud and jerks. I figure it is the chain but I am not 100% sure, does that sound about right? My front end wont engage as of lately either. Everything breaks on me at once.

Can someone tell me where I can go to get instructions on pump timing? I plan on pulling the front cover to fix the dowel pin also. I will have Snap-On timing kit . Thanks for any help.
