    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Engine Rapping

    Turbo Tim 1 You've made me a happy man. I have been thinking injectors, injector timing, pressure, fuel pumps, PCM or something more expensive. A thermostat I can handle. That would be a great fix. Thanks for the help will keep you posted. Stan

    Floppy Clucth Pedal

    Terry, I checked the fluid level and it is full and also clean. Also checked the peddle piviot and the piston connection to the pedal arm and they look good. I hate to go to a shop without having some idea of what 's wrong.

    Floppy Clucth Pedal

    Raditor drain plug

    Thanks for the help guys. I got the valve open with plyers and just kept turning it open and closed until it drained out. It was really in there tight and I thought it might break before it opened. I got jjust under 4 gallons of antifreeze out of it.

    Raditor drain plug

    O K so my Mom raised one dumb kid out of the bunch. I am trying to change the antifreeze in my engine. On the bottom of the radiator on the drivers side there is a plastic drain valve. I put a hose on the drain nipple, opened the radiator cap and turned the valve 90 degrees to the left and...

    There is a TSB out on the problem or one like it. [TSB 00 08-26-00]. A friend just had the same problems, doors lock/unlock and cab lights come on. It happens with the truck running or shut off. I tried to paste the site here with the TSB but it won't take.

    Clutch Problems

    I guess that it could be the fuel filter but I checked and it was new 7,000 miles ago. How do you check for a bad cluch?

    Clutch Problems

    I have 60,000 miles on my 98. 5 Ram 5spd and have towed cross country 28k. When getting onto the interstate on a upgrade I get a serious bucking in third. My fifth wheel is 9200lbs. Is the clutch slipping or is something else happening? ------------------
