    Will not start ign key no response in start position, no remote door locks.

    Found the problem. I disconnected the batteries grounds for about a minute to reboot the computer that seemed to lose communication with the keyfob. A buddy found this problem cure on a google search. Seems static electricity will cause this problem with 3rd gen Dodges. Not often but if does...

    Will not start ign key no response in start position, no remote door locks.

    Truck (2007.5 2500 4 x 4 auto 120K miles) will not start with key, remote door locks not working. Is all I've found so far. Truck was just driven 50 miles and turned off for around 30 min. before trying to restart. First time ever with this problem. Truck has been towed and is in my yard. Seems...

    I was driving with just the truck only and my Edge Insight alarm went of of over temp on the exhaust temp 1400 deg. 2007.5 6.7 and completely stock. It was a gradual hill, no head wind and no load. Anyone have a reason why this would happen? I do know if it was in regen it could happen but...

    over heated at stop light

    The click I heard was from inside the cab. When we went to the engine we did feel that there was more hot air being moved by the fan that than when I first started it. My buddy was standing at the front fender. I have a new thermostat coming, sure can't hurt. I will clean all the electrical...

    over heated at stop light

    My 6.7 2007 overheated today at a stop light. I was towing with the temps at normal, then my Edge alarm went of at 224 deg and before I could get out of traffic it made it to 240 when I shut it down. I sat for about 10 min and started it. It started to cool down slowly then we heard a dull click...

    Not quite overheating

    I had the same problem, replaced fan clutch assembly and things cooled down for me. After doing so I could hear the fan in 1st 2nd and 3rd when taking off from a stop sign that I could not hear before.

    hitch is moving up and down 5th wheel on trailer

    Well, R. Corbeil was correct. Before I got to far into the fix I called a recommended tech from a friend that works at a RV sales that sells Montana's. He said, that the flex is normal. If the fiberglass on the front of the trailer gets cracked the more than likely is a problem. Mine only...

The gentleman posted a...

    hitch is moving up and down 5th wheel on trailer

    It is the pin box on the trailer. The front part of the pin box stays in the same place but the back part is what is moving. When the front ( where the pin is ) goes up the back drops. I will be cutting back the cover to inspect, so I can see where the failure is at. I hope to be able to make...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Lost 3 MPG with rebuilt vp44 and fass pump

    OK, I put in a new rebuilt vp44 and what I found was the key on the pump I pulled out was in backwards. The mark was to the threads and should be towards the pump. While it was out I did put the new pump in but keeping the old one for back up. The old pump is pickled and ready to go if ever...
