Help. I've have a loose front wheel bearing assembly on the RHS of my 03. 5 CTD. Had the dealer's service department check it and they concluded that it is in need of replacement. Unfortunately, wheel bearings are not replaceable. The front hub assy must be replaced as a complete unit...

Chiming I too have experienced the chimes from nowhere. The chiming got to the point that I was ready to drive into a wall just to stop the dang noise. I eventually noticed a faint lamp out indication once in a while. I replaced all the rear lamps and bingo! No more chimes. The computer...

Thanks for the part number! I ordered the light on Monday. I installed it on Friday. It was a piece of cake to install. The light bracket consists of 2 leds, one pointing towards the ashtray and one towards the cupholder. It provides enough ambient light so that I don't have to fumble...

I am looking for a part number (if it exists) for the lamp that will illuminate the ashtray/cupholder on my '03 Ram. I did not get the Lighting group option on this rig. Had the dash apart today to install the Sentry Key system and noticed a 2 wire connector in the vicinity of the cupholder...

11.5 in Rear Diff On my '03 the build indicates: Transmission 4Sp Automatic 48RE Axle-Rear 11. 50 Axle Anti-Spin Differential I suspect that the 11. 5" rear is now standard with the 48RE transmission option. My truck was built 6/03 in Mexico.

0% I took it! Well guys: I went over the financing options with the GM; after figuring my trade-in, a 2001 CTD, we ran the numbers with the 2500. 00 rebate and 2. 9% vs no rebate and 0% financing. It turned out that for me, I was better off with 0% for 60 months. I will save about $300. 00...

0% For Read Guys: I was contacted on Friday by the GM of the local dealership (He's also my neighbor) and informed that Dodge is offering until Monday 0% for 60 months on the Heavy Duty Models. I think I'll be trading in my '01 2wd for an '03 4x4 today!

Trans Problems You might want to check out an earlier thread on my transmission woes. Auto Trans Troubles The shifting problems I experienced were caused by a defective injector pump. Took the dealer about a month to figure that one out. Good Luck

Buzzing Noise Found! Well... er... . I found the source of my dash panel noise. Would you believe my windshield mounted radar detector. I have a Passport unit that developed a rattle internally. I disassembled the unit and discovered the laser detector lens was rattling. After some tweaking...

Buzzing Noise I am experiencing the same condition as you have described. The buzzing noise appears to be eminating from within the dash. It seems to be loudest above the radio. It appears around 2000 rpm. The noise is occuring whether the truck is in gear and cruising down the highway or...

Trans Troubles/Oil Leak Repaired! Finally got the truck fixed!Oo. I picked up the repaired truck 3:30 on Friday cleaned and degreased. This time the gear case/timing cover and crankshaft front oil seal were replaced. We left two hours later on a 300 mile camping trip into the mountains...

Trans troubles update Well its been 2 days since I got my truck back from the dealer. I've logged about 200 miles and no shifting problems. My confidence is higher about the repair. HOWEVER, now I have an oil leak! :mad: I stopped by the dealer this A. M. to show them an oil accumulation...

Auto Trans Troubles Fixed! Want to give the board an update on my truck/transmission problems. On Friday last week, the dealer replaced the PCM. Before they test drove the vehicle, the DRB scan tool indicated the Crankshaft position sensor signal was dropping out. Unfortunately, the CKPS is...

Trans Troubles Continued The Saga Continues... I wanted to update the board on my transmission hunting condition. As of Friday, 9/6 my truck is still not repaired. The dealer has replaced the following: Camshaft position sensor (Wrongly indicated in my earlier post as the Crankshaft...

Thanks for the info about the PCM reflash. I already mentioned it to the Service Manager. I also suggested that perhaps they could "borrow" a PCM from another truck on the lot. ;) BTW I think the PCM reflash pertained to the 99-00 models. I have a 2001. Will keep y'all posted. Cal
