I have a 1996 12valve 5-speed with 4 wheel drive. Everything is stock. Yesterday while driving, the truck shut down in the middle of the freeway. I got to the shoulder, and the truck would turn over just fine, but wouldn't stay running. I took off the fuel shutoff solenoid and zip-tied the arm...

I have a 1996 12valve with the 5-speed transmission and 4x4. I just had the clutch replaced and the transmission rebuilt last month. I also had the throttle cable replaced by the dealer under recall about a year ago due to fraying in the twisted cable. Haven't had any issues until today. I'm...

I recently got my truck back from my dad after letting him use it for a year. I saw the oil was low, so I changed the oil and filter. While driving it the past week, whenever I go to idle, the oil pressure drops to 0. Once I get back in gear and am moving, it quickly climbs back to just over 40...

A few years ago my fuel shutoff solenoid (1998 12v, manual) went out, and I just replaced it with a PTO cable as many on here have. I put in a FASS pump this weekend, and found all my old solenoid parts and a LarryB relay I had bought some time ago. I figured since I was already working on the...

This week I picked up a 1995 F-350 (for a possible Cummins/NV4500 swap) with the 7.5L V8 gas engine and auto transmission. It has a passenger-side fender-mounted starter solenoid/relay, and I have to tap it to get it started. Upon inspection, I found that there was another relay spliced in, that...

After having problems with my fuel system in November-December 2012, I had the lift pump replaced. I drove the truck fine for a few months after that, and it has been sitting in storage since April 2013. I try to start it and let it run about once a month, most recently at the beginning of the...

Once again, my truck will not start. When I put the key in, the radio and accessories come on. When I turn the key, nothing happens - no starter, no anything. I figured it was the clutch interlock, so I got some wire taps and tried to bypass the safety switch. The clutch interlock switch was...

I installed the Solid Steel adjustable track bar and 3rd gen bracket in summer of 2010. Last spring I installed a 2 inch lift kit from Lorenz, and adjusted the track bar to the longer length. In the past few months, my death wobble problems have come back. I checked all my suspension parts...

Well this is embarrassing. My very first post on this forum 3 years ago was for this same problem. Today I changed the fuel filter and cleaned the prefilter. I reinstalled everything after filling them with diesel, lubricating the o-rings, and then made sure everything was tight. I performed the...

I have a 1998 Dodge Ram 2500 with the 12valve CTD, 5-speed, 4WD Just last month, I thought I had fixed all the problems with my truck. I relocated my batteries to the bed and rebuilt the starter. I found where the vacuum line for the cruise control had been eaten through by battery acid and...

I've recently had a few issues with highway driving, where I would be at a constant speed (65-70mph) for a long stretch of time, and the accelerator pedal would get stuck in place. I could brake, but then when I hit the accelerator again, it would feel like stepping on a brick. When coming...

I have a 1998 12valve CTD with the 5-speed manual transmission and 4-wheel drive. I have never had any engine issues, and until this year, no transmission issues except for my 3rd synchro, which sometimes gives me trouble shifting from 2nd to 3rd. Last month, the hydraulics went out on my...

During the summer my death wobble came back after a year of absence. Last year when I first started getting it, I replaced the track bar on my 1998 5-spd 12v CTD. That worked for a while until this summer. There is a spot near my house where I will get death wobble 100% of the time if I'm going...

I had a problem a few weeks back, where my truck would crank but not fire. This is a 1998 12v CTD with the manual transmission. Before I had any issues, I was getting 16-17mpg. The first fill-up after the problem started, I was at 13mpg, and have been at a steady 15mpg in the month after that...

My 1998 5-speed 12v CTD isn't turning over. I had a problem back in October where the alternator went out and I replaced it, and then a few days later the fuel shutoff solenoid went out. I put in a manual PTO cable in its place. When I replaced the alternator, I had the batteries and starter...

For the past month my fuel shutoff solenoid has been unreliable, so I have to manually compress the spring about half the times I start the truck. I checked the voltage at the harness, and it was okay. Yesterday I finally had a block of free time, so I removed the solenoid assembly and gave it a...

My 98 2500 (12v) will not start this morning. When I go to start it, I wait for the wait to start li8ght, to go off, depress the clutch, and turn the key. The first few times I tried, it would crank for about 2-3 seconds, and then stop. Now It will not crank at all. When I turn the key to start...

Today I was working on my truck (1998, 12v) to fix the evaporator drain causing my passenger floorboard to collect water. I extended the spout with a hose, and dropped the blower motor to clean out the HVAC. While I had the hood up, I also did my normal maintenance. I checked my fluid levels...
