2001 Ram 3500 Quad Cab Automatic It appears I cannot switch from heat back to a/c. The clutch does automatically engage and disengage as it should. For a while I heard constant clicking under the dash, as if from a relay. Now no sound. Very recently I started to smell the sweet small of...

I guess I forgot about the cleaning of the sensors in that list...

Since I was chasing what I thought was a fuel/air/sensor problem, I have replaced the TPS, injection pump and lift pump and I have the fuel tank down and out and cleaned. I will first put the whole fuels system back together before I get to other items so i don't open too many fronts. Next I...

I was wondering what the best prices and places were to have a Bosch VP-44 injection pump rebuilt. Also, have any of you just replaced the pump seals and diaphragm? I have a kit that supposedly has a revised diaphragm which will not have as much of a problem with low pressure and will not...

I have an 01 Dodge 3500 Cummins Automatic Have had the following issues for some time: 1. When cold, I get barely any acceleration for the first 2-5 minutes of driving and the power is back on. I can mash the pedal and nothing really happens. 2. Driving at a sustained rate of speed (say...
