Sold to Nebraska. Thank you Adam - Enjoy your "new" truck!

1997 Dodge Ram 2500, 4x4. 12 valve. 181, 000 miles. This truck is in excellent condition. Mechanic owned for past 11 years, this truck is ready to work. Only reason for selling is family is outgrowing. Truck will be sold with factory 16" chrome rims with good rubber, not the rims shown in...

Thanks for the replys guys. JHenry yes I did mean MBRP. You mentioned your exhaust systems with no mufflers but how is the cab noise? Edgeman stacks won't work becuse I use a crossover box and need the box space. Dave thanks for the link. I went to xterme diesel performance and read the reviews...

Here is the situation. My factory exhaust system is rusting out on my 97. I replaced the muffler two years ago with a straight pipe. It has served it's purpose but I'm tired of the cab drone. I'm looking to upgrade to 4" system. I have been reading the old threads but not getting the answer to...

It would be worth checking to make sure the fuel shut off solenoid is pulling up all the way when the truck is running. This is rare be a commonly over looked item. When truck is running try to see if plunger will move further into solenoid. If it does, it's a good possibly it's the problem.

As blacksheepdiesel suggested I would start with and trans shift kit and good strong convertor if it's in the budget. Call a diesel shop and see what it would be for timming adjustment. I'm sure price will very from shop to shop. As far timing adjustment it does change power band and egt's temp...

The fass pump is worth the time and money. It has been the best solution I have found for the factory lift pump short falls. The pump is very good not bad to install if you read and follow the directions. Installation takes time to drill holes for bracket and route hoses and wires were they need...

If you think power loss happened after service repair. Check all turbo clamps by tightening them with socket. Check them all with socket a visiual will not show a loose clamp. , Check the afc tube out the back of the IP to the intake manifold to see if it is melted. It maybe possible the turbo...

In the time have workied on this trucks I never replaced a ECM for rough running concern. It is 99% the VP44 pump providing everything else is ok. I found the fass transfer pump is best product to replace the OEM one. It is a very good pump. It flows more fuel then to OEM ones which helps keep...

The P0234 will not cause vehicle to run rough. In my experience with this code, on a hand full of vehicles it is a software issue. It causes no vehicle performance or running problem. Verify the turbo wastegate opens and have someone with a diagnostic tool verify it's not boosting over 20psi or...

GSaltzman Lonestar and Tomeygun are on the right track. Injectors will cause rough idle but not idle surge. The fcv is what regulates fuel deliver and inconstant fuel pressure delivery will cause idle surge. If the problem is inconstant it maybe harder to prove but fcv is more like it.

You could check the wiring by removing the temp sensor connector and see which way the temp needle points. Then jump the the two wires in the connector and the temp guage needle should read fully in the opposite direction. Temp sensor is next to the t-stat housing. This would verify the wiring...

DShuart, on your fuel module quick connect, is the fuel nipples on module metal or plastic? If you have a air compressor spray air at quick connects to blow any debris out of connections. If the module has metal nipples coming out of it, spray rust penetrate on quick connection. If you have...

WDaniels I cann't disagree with you on this. It's just that never seen or heard of this problem on the 24 valve engines, but I do know for a fact that new timing cover housings are designed to hold pin from coming out for both 12 valve and the 24 valves.

AMeissner sorry to hear of your problem. How do you know the kdp came out? I have never seen a kdp come out on a 24 valve engine. The timing covers were redesigned as of 98. 5. The covers were machined with a collar to the front of the cover to hold the kdp for coming out. So if you are...
