I replaced the batteries which I think was prudent heading into winter after getting 7 years life from them. Didn't solve the code throwing and rough idle symptoms I was encountering. Turns out 3 injectors were failing. I replaced with new bosch injectors and replaced fuel connector tubes and...

I had a Goerend tranmission 48RE rebuild done in 2010 and it has been flawless. Sorry, I cannot recommend an installer in California.

Greetings, My engine is (mostly) running smooth, just got back from a 1,200 mile road trip, except when at a stop and truck is in drive the engine seems to idle roughly and there is increased vibration. I think the rpms when stopped are around 3,500 to 4,000 rpm. This morning it threw a code...

So, I snapped off an additional short section of the vacuum line, took it to the dodge dealer in town. He took it back with him and returned with windshield washer tubing (soft, flexible) which he gave me one foot at no charge and sent me on my way. It's a really tight fit (perfect) and so I've...

Hello, Yesterday while replacing the fuel filter I discovered that I have a broken vacuum line, break location is just ahead of the fuel filter canister. The hose runs to the vacuum pump - located behind passenger side battery - which runs continuously on account of the broken line. The small...

Bit the bullet and upgraded the whole P/S system.

Thanks BigPapa but it's not a match based on my VIN. Shop actually ordered this one and tried to fit it up and it is not compatible.

I am in need of this pulley to replace the original one. The original one was reused on a new pump since my shop (or I) could not find a replacement pulley readily. Apparently, Dodge has upgrade the P/S system on my truck. Problem is, however, that they damaged the original pulley slightly upon...

So, I looked at my existing (which is the original) serpentine belt and it appears to have 7 ribs. Then I look at the replacement Gates one (No. K081264) purchased at Geno's a few years back to have in my emergency kit (and yet to be installed) and it appears to have 8 ribs. Now wondering if...

Truck is bucking, acting like starving for fuel when going uphill at low speeds cruise control off. Sets the above codes. First time problem. Other related threads suggest cleaning electrical contacts at the TPPS, checking wiring, reassembling, etc. clearing codes and test driving. Then I guess...

Thanks all for your sage advice. I appreciate your insights.

It is time to change the coolant again (just the second time). Mileage is at roughly 170,000 and the thermostat is original. No cooling issues and wondering if the adage "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" applies here. Or if I should just replace it while I'm changing the coolant since it's...

It was a hole in a vacuum line. The hole was right in front of the fuel filter, who knows, may have knicked it or something when changing filters. Lines seems really brittle. Anyhow, until I can get into an auto parts store to get parts to splice in a new section of line, I put some liquid...

Thanks everybody, I really appreciate your help. I will start looking at the vacuum lines and connections and go from there.

I am unsure what purpose this motor serves is in the attached photos. Just recently, it cycles on when the key is in the ignition, runs for 5 to 10 seconds, then shuts off, then does the same thing a minute or so later. AC and heat are off when this happens. I know its this motor because I can...

I think I just might coax my mechanic (sharp guy) to take a ride over with me to examine the truck and get his opinion - he'd probably be willing to help me drop out the transmission and engine if they're worth salvaging. It seems like there is some potential here. I'll be sure and take some photos...

Hello all, My beloved 2003 was totalled about a month ago in an explosive fire at a body shop - my truck was in for some relatively minor body work after hitting a deer and I ended up losing the entire thing... just bad luck I guess. Kind of heartbreaking really, all too easy to get attached to...

Thanks everyone... I will get a reusable Mopar gasket.

Could someone tell me if the reusable Mopar trans pan gasket is compatible with the Mag Hytec Deep Pan? Or, do I need to use a fiber gasket? I am changing the fluid and filter on the tranmission for the first time and I'm not sure what gasket would be best for the job.

I can recommend Mac's Performance in Fort Worth, TX. They installed my Goerend 48RE rebuild and I was completely satisfied. Very good folks, look forward to going back someday.
