good afternoon, Getting ready to attach new hoses to my power steering. I replaced the gear box and pump already. Instructions say to reconnect everything, jack front wheels up, and turn back and forth to bleed. Can I do this prior to reconnecting pitman arm to the steering output shaft...

96 Ram 2500 very low frequency noise, intermittent, sounds like the rear of the truck. Slight sensation in the floorboards, when sound is audible. Sound on steady speed or acceleration, not on decel or downhill. It sounds like a whirring groan, each cycle is half a second with a quarter second...

1996 2500 CTD 4x4 auto trans. Returned from a trip where I was towing a trailer and using 4x4 some, and on the hwy home, around 50 mph, I began hearing a rhythmic noise, not consistent. Got it home, checked front diff fluid, and my pinky, though fat, could not find the front axle fluid level...

Guys, driving home in the blizzard tonight, a squeak started. its drivetrain, not engine. its only when rolling. its faster when rolling faster its only in four wheel drive it sounds like the right front of the truck due to the blizzard, I can't go out and do any troubleshooting. what would...

Bought a house last year and i have basement room for a permanent reloading bench. The space has an unfinished wall, with vertical wood 2x4 studs spaced 16" o.c. I am trying to figure out the best construction method. Do i attach a horizontal cleat to the wall (level) and then build...

I have to take off the door panel. I bought a pack of dorman plastic panel fasteners. Do i instal then all in place in the panel, and then push the panel to the door? Or, do i instal them in the door, and then hook or clip them into the panel one at a time? Not sure.

1996 4x4 ram 2500, why wont the passenger axle tube fully seat? I had it in 4x4, so i tried taking it out of 4x4, still not working. Any ideas? Just found a flashlight and looked in passenger side tube. The 4x4 collar that slides back and forth is not centered behind that seal, it is easily...

I was on some ice the other day, and put my truck in 4x4, and the left ties were spinning, but the passenger tires were motionless. Shouldn't the front axle, when in 4x4, be locked so both tires spin? Is it possible the axle coupler isnt working because the vacuum servo is broken?

Last week the trans in my 96 slipped out of drive. This has never happened before. It has happened three times now. It has not occurred while underway, just at a stop. At idle, in gear, i depress the throttle and the truck is in neutral. Would this be transmission problem (47RE), or...

Engine brake works sluggish and intermittent. I pulled the two hoses from the solenoid. Pulled vacuum on the hose from the bottom of the vacuum canister. Vacuum retracted the shaft, and then it held vacuum. Attached vacuum to the top of the canister. Vacuum extended the shaft, but would not...

My son drives a 1987 Ford Bronco 5.0 liter EFI with auto trans, 4x4. It has a bad 'stumble' under accceleration and sometimes under cruise that feels like the trans is shifting very poorly. Loud hard thump. Sometimes downshifts with a hard clunk too. Fluid is the right color, doesnt smell...

My truck (1996) started whistling this morning on my drive to work. 12 miles, 50 mph. More noticeable at higher speeds. Sounds louder in my right ear. Shut off motor on safe stretch of road, no change other than i could hear it better. Not any louder with windows down. Sounds...

I hooked up a vacuum gauge on my '96. gauge climbed steadily at idle, then higher upon throttle. Drops significantly upon depressing brake pedal, 5 pedal pushes and it's near zero. Upon shutdown it drops to zero immediately. Did brake booster check after shutdown, it does hold some...

Very pleased with the gift this year. I have been welding at home 8-10 years. Got a big upgrade from the AC only stick machine and a flux core 110 v machine. So, about that bumper i have been wanting to make, and some decent step boards for the sides, front end shackles, a breather...

If I depress the brake pedal, let up, and then depress it again very soon, it will sometimes go hard. So, I tried the tests to verify the booster, and it passed. I'm wondering if the booster check ball is bad? Is it possible this symptom would be a bad booster valve? This is not to...

I am going to be replacing vacuum lines. I read there was a TSB about oil vapor seepage into the vacuum system, so they came out with a check ball. How do I verify if my '96 has this update? I want to replace lines and keep (or obtain) the update. KRS

I have been wanting to use the instructions in TDR to clean the screen in the power steering pump. I accessed it from the top, no crawling underneath. Just an 18 mm line wrench, and a 1" socket on a 1/2" rachet. The hardest thing was getting that little screen/nut off! After i...

I need to go out of town tomorrow. My starter is spinning very slow, takes 3-5 seconds to start the truck. I do have new batteries, group 27. Had the batts tested... . they are fine. They brought two new batts, no difference. They said starter is only pulling 10. xx VOLTS I am headed out to...

I have been using Shell Rotella for years, but I'm thinking about a switch to: Conoco Phillips Guardol ECT-TI. I can get it cheaper, and locally. Unlike rotella, it's only avail in 15w-40. Anyone using this? It would be for the '06 5. 9 HPCR and the '96 5. 9 12v. Thank you, KRS
