Turbo Tim 1 You've made me a happy man. I have been thinking injectors, injector timing, pressure, fuel pumps, PCM or something more expensive. A thermostat I can handle. That would be a great fix. Thanks for the help will keep you posted. Stan

My truck has the 1998. 5 24 valvue Cummins engine, five speed transmission and standard gears and 106,500 miles on it. It is stocks. I tow a 32 foot fiffth wheel coast to coast twice a year and north to south some. Some 45,000 miles have been towing. When towing up a good grade with the...

Terry, I checked the fluid level and it is full and also clean. Also checked the peddle piviot and the piston connection to the pedal arm and they look good. I hate to go to a shop without having some idea of what 's wrong.

:( The clutch pedal in my 2500 98. 5 five speed truck is floppy for the first two inches of travel. It also takes hold about 1. 5 inches off the floor. Is there a spring or something in the transmission that lifts the pedal back up?? It has happened in the last week or so. Just after we towed...

Iceman, I like those Maryland bucks. I'd like to see them under my bow stand sometime. Two wheel drive trucks are earier on brakes and a lot of my towing is on the interstates. Curb weight on my fifth wheel is 11,160 but it all stops well. Thanks for the reply.

Sam thanks for the reply. I may have another 40/50,000 miles left on them. I will check in 20/25,000 miles.

I checked the front and rear brakes on my 98. 5, 3/4 ton 2 wheel drive Ram. The thinnest part of the front shoe on the rear brake is . 218 thousands[7/32"] thick. There is . 092 thousands[3/32"] of lining to the closest rivet. The front pads measure about 5/16" on the inner pad and 3/8" on the...

Thanks for the help guys. I got the valve open with plyers and just kept turning it open and closed until it drained out. It was really in there tight and I thought it might break before it opened. I got jjust under 4 gallons of antifreeze out of it.

O K so my Mom raised one dumb kid out of the bunch. I am trying to change the antifreeze in my engine. On the bottom of the radiator on the drivers side there is a plastic drain valve. I put a hose on the drain nipple, opened the radiator cap and turned the valve 90 degrees to the left and...

There is a TSB out on the problem and fix. It is TSB 08-26-00.

There is a TSB out on the problem or one like it. [TSB 00 08-26-00]. A friend just had the same problems, doors lock/unlock and cab lights come on. It happens with the truck running or shut off. I tried to paste the site here with the TSB but it won't take.

[ [/B] Does anyone know if Dodge has a TSB out on this problem or not? They sure must know what it takes to fix it by now. Stan

Rob, I didn't smell anything but probably didn't stop for three/four hours after. I ll wait on the "nail it" at 1500 for a while yet. Thanks. Stan

jim, I ll try the filter change. Hopefully I won't fix it till its broke. Thanks. Stan

Steve, The "vent cap" is OK. I am going to change the filter and then do a pressure test. Thanks for your reply. Stan
